Timothy Taylor was established in 1858 in Keighley. Since 1863 the brewery has been at it's current site.
Timothy Taylor's best known ale is Landlord, a pale bitter, 4.3% abv when cask conditioned, and 4.1% when sold filtered in the bottle. It was created for miners, to compete against local rival Barnsley Bitter. It has been voted Champion Beer of Britain four times by CAMRA. It increased it's popularity when the musician Madonna declared it to be her favourite beer.
A variety of other ales, such as Boltmaker, Golden Best, Dark Mild and Ram Tam may be found in Timothy Taylor's pubs. A French style blonde ale Le Champion was brewed specially to celebrate the 2014 Tour de France Grand Depart in Leeds.
