Timothy Taylor's at City Beerfest!

About Timothy Taylors

Founded in 1858 in Keighley, West Yorkshire, when Timothy Taylor left the tailoring trade to brew beer in a small brewhouse on Cook Lane, the foundations were laid for what has become one of Britain’s most respected breweries.

Timothy Taylor’s remains a Yorkshire family company. That continuity, heritage and independence define who they are. Being family owned allows them to stay true to their long-held beliefs about what makes a great cask ale. Brewed at their Knowle Spring Brewery in Keighley – the site where Timothy Taylor came to live and brew in 1863 and named after the natural spring that sits under it – their beers are a truly authentic craft product.

As a live beer that undergoes secondary fermentation in the cask, each pint requires skill, expertise and attention to detail to brew, store, handle and serve. The reward is a depth of flavour, balance and drinkability that other beers simply can’t match.

Read on to discover what they will be bringing to City Beerfest this year.

🍻 Meet the Line‑Up: Your Tasting Journey

Landlord

4.3% ABV | Pale Ale | On Cask

Think iconic, balanced, and unmistakably British.

Landlord pours a pale amber colour and opens with a complex citrus and hoppy aroma. The flavour is full and gently sweet, finishing with a lingering hop character that’s earned this classic its legendary status.

Best enjoyed: when you want to taste a true cask‑ale benchmark.

Blonde

3.8% ABV | Ale | On Cask

Think crisp, light, and effortlessly refreshing.

Timothy Taylor’s Blonde is a bright, easy‑drinking ale with a clean, balanced profile. Brewed using pure spring water from beneath the brewery, it combines Golden Promise barley malt with elegant Strisselspalt hops and UK‑grown Cascade and Chinook for a fresh, gently hoppy finish.

Best enjoyed: as a refreshing first pour or an easy session pint.

Boltmaker

4% ABV | Ale | On Cask

Think dependable, smooth, and classically Yorkshire.

Boltmaker pours a warm copper‑amber colour with inviting aromas of gentle citrus and soft fruit. On the palate, biscuit‑like malt flavours lead the way, balanced by a clean bitterness for a rounded, satisfying finish.

Best enjoyed: at a relaxed pace, soaking up every sip.

Hopical Storm

4% ABV | Session IPA | On Keg

Think modern, tropical, and seriously drinkable.

This triple‑hopped session IPA brings a vibrant twist to tradition, delivering fragrant aromas of mango, passion fruit and lychee. Juicy flavours of mandarin, melon and lime sit atop a light, sandy‑gold malt base, finishing crisp and refreshingly clean.

Best enjoyed: ice‑cold, when you’re ready to strike thirst with flavour.
