Description
B&T began brewing as an independent brewer in 1982 under the name Banks & Taylor's, with the aim to produce traditional cask ales using only the finest raw materials.

In 1994 Banks & Taylor's became B&T Brewery Ltd and continues to produce top quality, award winning cask ales today. Using traditional methods and a combination of pale, wheat, crystal and roast malts along with Challenger, Golding's and Cascade whole hops, B&T are able to produce over 30 different beers, each with their own distinct character and flavour.

Seasonal specials are produced to celebrate or commemorate the many different traditions, folk laws and historical events that have taken place locally.

In 2020 the Brewery was shut down and beers contract brewed at 3 Brewers.

Hand-pulled cask pint on 28th Sep 2018; Crown Inn, Oakengates, Shropshire. Black bodied, tanned foaming head. Sadly I found this bland, thin and boring. Plenty of over roasted malts, but it lacked depth and flavour. First beer from these guys I haven't enjoyed.

Cask-conditioned at the Knights Templar (JDW), Bristol 27/7/2018. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Some flabby malts, touch of stone fruits and leafy hops, leading to a moderately bitter finish. So so.

14/4/2018. Cask at the Elm Tree, Cambridge. Pours slightly hazy golden colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of peach, apricot, banana, citrus, hop and light caramel. Moderate sweetness and bitterness with a rough edge. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Bitter and slightly unpleasant finish. Decent aroma let down by taste.
