Timothy Taylor has always brewed for quality, not price. By using the very best
ingredients, the very best beers are produced.
MALT
The only brewery to use 100% Golden Promise barley, specially grown in Scotland.
One of the last to specify the traditional standard of Pale Ale malt. One of the
few of its size to use floor made malt.
HOPS
All leaf hops used are of the finest grade. Timothy Taylor uses premium grade hop
cones called "choicest" if possible. The traditional varieties have remained unchanged
for over seventy years to produce classic aromas on the beers - as beer used to
taste.
YEAST
The yeast is a unique strain to Timothy Taylor's Brewery. It has produced over thirteen
hundred generations of continuous quality to make Taylor's beers refreshingly reliable.
The fermentations take a minimum of seven days to allow time to produce a full flavour.
LIQUOR (WATER)
Only well liquor that is drawn from deep under the Pennines is used at The Knowle
Spring Brewery. It always remains constant in both temperature and quality.
PRIMING SUGAR
Timothy Taylor is one of the last breweries to use Priming Sugars in its draught
beer. This is the traditional way to give zest and condition to sparkling beers.
MATURATION
The beer is left in the cellars for at least a week prior to direct delivery to
our customers. This allows more time for the complex and subtle flavours to develop.
TRADITION
Each member of the Timothy Taylor workforce holds a key position dedicated to ensuring
that "The Taylor Taste" remains unaltered. Many of the present staff have followed
their forebears into the business, making Timothy Taylor a family concern at all
levels.
