Better Ingredients 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.
