Staffordshire Breweries
Keighley
Timothy Taylor began brewing beer in Cook Lane in the West Riding town of Keighley. He clearly struck upon a successful formula for in 1863 he set up and built a larger brewery at Knowle Spring where the company has remained ever since. A key factor in the success of Taylor's ales is the spring water that wells up from deep under the Pennines which is still used today to produce their traditional cask ales. The brewery remains in the Taylor family and is now the last independent brewery of its type left in West Yorkshire. This independence has enabled Taylor's to survive as one of the few brewers still brewing true cask ales in the same way it has always done. Taylor's beer have won many awards and world-wide acclaim. The Landlord won the 1999 Champion British Ale at the CAMRA Olympia Festival and this was not the first time it had won this prestigious award. © Copyright.

Landlord Bitter 4.3% Madonna's favourite tipple is Landlord Bitter. This multi-Champion Beer of Britain is quite splendid with its full-flavoured balance of hops and fruit. A classic strong pale ale, Landlord has won more awards nationally than any other beer. This includes four times as Champion at the Brewers' International Exhibition and three times as CAMRA’s beer of the year.
Dark Mild 3.5% This rich and creamy dark mild is a consistent award-winning ale. As the title suggests, its a dark brown ale with caramel overtones. Quite a bitter and sweet combination. It is especially popular in East Lancashire.
