Timothy Taylor's is a family-owned regional brewery founded in 1858 by Timothy Taylor. Originally based in Cook Lane, Keighley, West Yorkshire, England. Timothy Taylor's moved to larger premises in 1863 at Knowle Spring in Keighley, where they remain.

The brewery is still family owned and was family run until 2014, when the Chief Executive Charles Dent retired and became Chairman.^[1]

Beers

Landlord

Timothy Taylor's best known ale is Landlord, a pale ale, 4.3% abv when cask conditioned, and 4.1% when sold filtered in the bottle. It was created for miners, to compete against local rival Barnsley Bitter.^[2] Landlord was four times Champion Beer of Britain at the Great British Beer Festival.^[3][4] The brand attracted media attention in 2003 when Madonna said in an interview with Jonathan Ross that it was her favourite beer. Since then the draught beer has become more widely available throughout the country and Landlord is also being exported in bottles.^[5][6]

Landlord is available in the brewery's own tied pubs, and is often available as a guest ale in other pubs, especially those in Yorkshire. Bottled Landlord is available in Tesco, Waitrose, Morrisons and several other supermarkets, as well as from the brewery's webshop.

Boltmaker

Timothy Taylor's Best Bitter was renamed Boltmaker in 2012 to better distinguish it from their ale Golden Best. Boltmaker won Gold in the Bitter category at the Great British Beer Festival in 2014 and was also crowned their Champion Beer of Britain 2014.^[7]

Boltmaker is a Yorkshire Bitter which is 4% when cask conditioned or 4.2% when sold filtered in the bottle. It was originally bottled exclusively for Tesco shortly before winning Champion Beer of Britain 2014. In late 2015 bottled Boltmaker became available in other supermarkets such as Waitrose.

Knowle Spring Blonde

A brand new addition to the Timothy Taylor's range, a blonde beer Knowle Spring Blonde, will be available from March 2017. The 4.2% easy-drinking yet complex blonde beer is the brewery's first addition to their core range since 1952.^[8]

Others

A variety of other ales, such as Golden Best, Dark Mild and Ram Tam may be found in Timothy Taylor's houses. A new French style blonde ale Le Champion was brewed specially to celebrate the 2014 Tour de France Grand Depart in Leeds. With the advent of the Tour de Yorkshire cycling event in 2015, Le Champion was brewed again in April 2015 and is being brewed again in March 2016.^[9]

Timothy Taylor's also produce an occasional special bottled ale called Havercake Ale.

In the past Timothy Taylor's produced another bottled ale called Northerner, bearing the advertising slogan, For Men of the North. This slogan has been reinvented as "Originally brewed for men of the north, now loved by everyone" and is borne on the back of the wagons.

Brewery

The brewery is supplied with water from an artesian well (Knowle Spring).

Only whole hops are used for brewing.

The yeast strain originally came from the Oldham Brewery.

80 percent of production is for cask conditioned products. Bottling is contracted to Robinsons Brewery.
