Dark Mild

Smooth, Dark Ruby Ale

A 3.4% dark ruby beer with roasted notes and a smooth, creamy taste. A favourite of lovers of a good mild.

Especially popular in East Lancashire and loved as a guest further afield. One of the finest dark Yorkshire milds still in independent production.

We have moved Dark Mild from 3.5% to 3.4% alcohol by volume [ABV] for all to benefit from the new lower duty rates. Given the change is only 0.1% of alcohol and HMRC tolerances (e.g. 3.49% ABV is rounded down to 3.4% not up to 3.5%) we have not had to make any changes to our recipe but just minor adjustments to fermentation, that will be imperceptible to the consumer.

A swift half at lunch is of the utmost importance at Taylor’s.

A swift half at lunch is of the utmost importance at Taylor’s.

It’s the most important meeting at the brewery. On the stroke of midday, every day, our team of highly experienced brewers stop whatever they’re doing and wind their way down to a small room in the depths of the main brewery building. In this unassuming place they undertake the most vital of tasks – the tasting of beer. Every single batch is tasted at least three times during the brewing process to check the beer is perfectly balanced, and ensure it conditions to produce the depth of flavour that you expect from Landlord. We think it’s a lunchtime tradition well worth preserving.
