Timothy Taylor’s Landlord

Georgina Young, brewing director at St. Austell Brewery in St. Austell, England

“Most of my brewing career has been with British cask brewers Fuller’s and St Austell, both of whom make great cask beer. However, Timothy Taylor’s Landlord, 4.3 percent ABV, has to be one of the all-time classic British cask ales. It is always a fantastic pint, brewed with local Yorkshire water, British Golden Promise barley, and lashings of whole-leaf Goldings and Fuggles that contribute citrus, fruity, and hoppy character with a bitterness of 38 EBU. The yeast strain is on its 2,145th generation!”
