Timothy Taylor's Landlord Pale Ale Review 11 Years Later

[@oz1472]

My wife and I go to York once a year for a few days for the uk snooker championship at the end of November , we stay opposite a lovely pub called the phoniex , the tradition every year is to go into the phoniex for our first drink, I always have a pint of landlord! It has become to me the feeling of the festive season starting !! A simple moment maybe , but one that feels me with fond memories of great times !! Cheers to mr Taylor

[@nigelshaw1548]

Love it. Will bear that in mind watching this year and have one too!

[@scottb5907]

Landlord is an excellent ale from the bottle; on draught in a pub it's perfection.

[@jonathankent8411]

TT Landlord is in my top 5 all time beers, particularly on draft and we're fortunate in Sussex to get it in alot of pubs. I always pick up a slight caramel note on drinking.......that's just how I taste it. Great beer. Thanks for reviewing it again.

[@OscarOSullivan]

Sussex long way from home

[@jasonpratt927]

Defo some toffee in there too ! 👍

[@unityproject2279]

Landlord. Always wonderful. I had a verdant DIPA on location in Falmouth, and yes it was EPIC. Yet every now and then, the humble Landlord at £1.80 a bottle matches it. That's beer, they haven't messed with the recipe and class is permanent

[@MichaelWilde.pushbikegraddad]

Have drank it for decades, my favourite but only when on draft, a pub a few mile away from me has won best pint of Landlord three year running.

[@solo_indiana6979]

Absolutely beauty. Went to the pub with my grandpa for 'one' and then drank 5 Landlords on draught in the space of 2 hours. Extremely quaffable and moreish if looked after well!

[@ssaamm89]

Madonna’s favourite beer im told

[@davidjohnson7520]

I'm afraid that I think the bottled version is atrocious pasteurised rubbish but the cask version is superb.

[@sevenman9672]

Taylor's Landlord - the taste of quality !

[@simontemplar1495]

One of my fav. Hard to find where I live (Louisiana).

[@GavM]

If any home brewers out there want to brew this, maltmiller do an outstanding all grain kit.

[@jonathanswan7514]

For me it's my top beer without doubt. It's a desert island beer, good honest Yorkshire beer. Have you noticed though that "Landlord" on the label is sporting a Welsh Rugby top? It's so good that he's left the beautiful valleys for Gods home county.

[@damian-795]

£7.00 for 4 in Tesco. Its one of the worlds best beers.

[@StewartyMac]

One of my favourite draught beers ever. Glad it's becoming more popular up here in Scotland.

[@simoncollins7013]

Had 2 pints of this yesterday absolutely lovely it is

[@Dodas302]

Great review Simon,i love this beer

[@tomwilliams7391]

Timothy Taylor's is one of my favourite beers, perfectly light refreshing amazing tastes....it's excellent from a bottle, but even better on draught

[@PaulMacD1978]

A great beer, one of my go-to ales for a Sunday afternoon...

[@Ngamer834]

I like this one and their Boltmaker beer is also good.

[@OscarOSullivan]

I have had boltmaker lovely drop

[@daveharrison61]

Boltmaker would be a truly outstanding and excellent beer from any other brewery. But it has to compete with Landlord that is my favourite pale ale of all time so it loses out.

[@Ngamer834]

@@daveharrison61 To be fair they are different. Landlord is really good on tap try to have it when I see it.

[@OscarOSullivan]

I would love to try a load of the Timothy Taylors beers in their tied houses

[@aviationlba747]

⁠@@OscarOSullivan Taylor’s On The Green in Keighley is a good one, has all their cask ales.

[@pvacaesar2942]

Apparently Anchor Steam was inspired by Timothy Taylors Landlord

[@SimonMartinForPrimeMinister]

Fantastic beer and it’s so cheap. Glad you reviewed this, I first had this when visiting Whitelocks the oldest pub in Leeds and it was wonderful!

[@TrashhMack]

Going by your review and comments this is one I’ll be trying very soon!!

[@edfriday7709]

Have a right craving for a pint/bottle of this now! There is something very distinctive about English bitters/pale ales etc.

[@FatPandalf]

I really like Landlord, but there is another TT beer that is even better in my opinion. Boltmaker. But it is usually available at the pub rather than the store.

[@benoakes01]

yeh landlord is my least favourite. Boltmaker and Knowle Spring are nicer.

[@FatPandalf]

@@benoakes01 Never had Knowle Spring. Need to keep an eye out for it ;)

[@user-Smiffy78]

I always gravitate towards Boltmaker, lovely beer.

[@OscarOSullivan]

I have had boltmaker lovely drop wish bitter was more common in Ireland

[@matthewrussell8590]

Yes, boltmaker is the superior drink, at least in bottle. I've never tried on cask. Here in louth, lincs. Landlord is readily available and is delicious.

[@filmscorefreak]

I wish English styles were more of a thing over here, not that they're impossible to find. But it's why homebrewing is popular, if you can't find it you have to brew it yourself. Saw a youtube vid recently, one of the head guys at TT's doing a tasting of their lineup, it all looked beautiful.

[@OscarOSullivan]

You live in the USA?

[@peterm7548]

TTL has thankfully become a widely available beer. I love it and get some in now and again. Usually get a case from an online store or direct form the brewery online store rather than a few bottles from my local supermarket and store it in my attic during the colder months. The definitive English pale ale! To be fair Yorkshire has some of the best ales in the country - Black Sheep, Sam Smiths, Theakstons etc. Simon, never work with kids or animals while recording!

[@goggsy1978]

Really nice beer. Love these British ales and this is a great one. Had it for the first time recently as it just became available recently in my local bottle shop in Cork. It's more expensive though at €3.70 per bottle

[@oscarosullivan4513]

For sale in a few off licences in Dublin

[@s125ish]

Interesting these British ales would be liked in Ireland

[@oscarosullivan4513]

@@s125ish Not really a few places sell English beer buts it. A lot of people pretend that England had no influence on brewing over here. And made up or folk history around beer exists. People I suspect write English beer particularly Cask beer as dishwasher water.

[@goggsy1978]

@@s125ish love British ales, and wish there were more available here. Love them on cask too, but only get them when visiting England unfortunately

[@OscarOSullivan]

@@goggsy1978 I agree a few breweries here try their hands at brewing a bitter

Definitely my favorite English beer.

[@chefe2152]

And today I bought it in LCBO I Hawkesbury ontario, Canada,it is truly beautiful beer,nice color and test / flavor just amazing,I wish me being European, we have more British beers here in Canada.

[@SloofmanTV]

One of my faves absolutely love it! Your story was funny for me because I actually worked at a pub on a canal in Exeter and sitting next to it on a hot summers day beer in hand, what could be better?

[@manc_crow]

a dog ruining the furniture can't stop the enjoyment of such a stellar ale... big fan of their bitters too. fan here living in singapore and we're lucky enough to get it in our supermarkets!

[@Cayres9]

Mooring is the term you were looking for thats what its called when tying up a boat for long amounts of time for example if you live in a houseboat you pay a mooring fee to stay in that dockyard.

[@neilsansom7363]

As a style, I'm not a huge fan of bitters, but Landlord is absolutely spot on. Decades of perfection and not compromising on quality ingredients. Along side Landlord, Holdens Bitter and Bathams Bitter are similarly right up there. I'll send you a couple.

[@hardrinker1989]

Landlord is an English pale ale not a bitter!

[@richard99cookify]

Yeah what Luke said, bitters are all about the hops but this is delicately malt-forward, so is a pale ale

[@davidpotter6564]

@@richard99cookify With English beers the naming of styles can be a but fuzzy due to marketing. For example London Pride is called Amber Ale but is probably a best bitter. Hobgoblin is called Ruby Ale but is really a brown ale. Likewise Landlord could get away with being called a pale ale or bitter but pale ale just sells better.

[@oscarosullivan4513]

Difference between a English Pale ale and Bitter

[@OscarOSullivan]

I would go to Bathams and Holdens for both the milds and bitters

[@PaddySenier-uj6dt]

Great beer. Bolt maker is even better though for me. Great review

[@andrewcarr5923]

The beer is outstanding but why do they feel the need to piss about with the labelling.

[@alanbrown1848]

I make you right. Landlord is a superb session pale ale and one of my favourites.

[@kylereed9309]

In our supermarket it is 4 bottles for £6 ;)

[@badabing8884]

Love myself a pint of landlord. Cask is best but happy with the bottle version.

[@benoakes01]

I'm thirsty now Simon.. I used to enjoy it in bottles, but I'm now sick of seeing it in London. if you're in a pub which just has a couple of beers it's invariably Landlord, Doombar or London Pride. I just keep on walking. it's quite a boring beer. when pulled through a sparkler it can be nice though. in West Yorkshire it's considered at the bottom of the pile really, compared to other beers you can find there.

[@Nik2555]

It’s far from been considered as bottom of the barrel in West Yorkshire 🤣 It’s held in high regard as the old fashioned regional brewery it is. Compared to other beers of the same style from West Yorkshire eg Leeds best, tetleys cask, ossett blonde it blows them Out the water. Can’t compare it to your northern monks or magic rocks. (Both of which have deteriorated massively since selling their souls)

[@vinbor8562]

Wow! Beautiful beer. Please, more reviews about Perfect draft kegs… 👍🏻😉

[@haraldpulley5748]

Love this beer and mad about it and the british ales right now. I have drunk so much if this recently I have noticed that occasionally I have a bad one, unsure if it's supermarket storage or a bad batch but sometimes there's a dry taste in my mouth. Generally it's superb and my fave atm, just looked at the website and all the others they do too. Yum. Great review!

[@geewoods4452]

First real beer I drunk some 35 years ago, reminds me of my old gaffer long dead now. He used to take me to a 18th century pub in york after work, that's gone now as well.

[@jonathanswan7514]

Was it the John Bull on Layerthorpe, by any chance? Absolutely criminal knocking that beautiful pub down.

[@OscarOSullivan]

Such a pity my regular here in Ireland is fairly traditional never filled to the brim yet a pub with blasting music is such a shame

[@ScottishT]

I've never tasted it as always looked at bottle and thought it was asking to some of those horrendous Wychwood beers. Will need to try.

[@jonathanbritland9878]

Simon, you need to Copyright some of your phrases before others use them, "Beer O'Clock" and the proud distinct way you remove bottle tops. You have your own style reviewing beer and it is Great. Keep it up because it is so good believe me.

[@paulbutler8361]

one of my favs

[@stephenireland3993]

Lovely beer 🍻🍻

[@haraldpulley5748]

Only beer worth drinking from supermarkets these days generally - and it's superb 👌

[@gazbaldy3925]

If you have the opportunity try 'Cook Lane IPA' by Taylors it is very good.

[@Rhys_Hart]

Was always around me growing up this beer. The brewery is only down the road in a place called keighley in west Yorkshire so around where I live every man and his dog drink it 😅. Babies are raised on the stuff 🤣

Can't beat a pint of Landlord

Good to see you back in the kitchen Si

Pretty sure the recipe hasn't changed and boy does this beer pack a lovely aroma, all toffee malt is what I get ! 😋👌

Looks like a nice pint 👍, good review

[@Zorex85]

it is one of the favorites as an everyday beer. So damn good, but on cask!!!! come kill me its soo good

[@125phr]

One of my favourites very refreshing beer 🍺 . A good pint of Landlord on draught takes some beating imo ….cheers Simon 🍻🍻🎉

[@rosslogan4154]

Landlord is a special beer, a perfectly balanced, classic ale.

Just an absolute delight of a pint 🍻

[@andyc750]

Always a good bet to grab a bottle of pint of that, and now easy to find all over, and yes it is great that it hasn't changed, and as for the boat, that would be a narrow boat and you moor a boat 😃

[@NerdAdventurer85]

I tried a bottle of this last Week, and i wasn't impressed really. Perhaps it's my pallette. I'm into Black Sheep, Old Peculier those kind of crafty Ales, so perhaps it was a little 'light' for my taste? 😂

[@ProspectstudiosCoUkBFD]

The TT brewery is round the corner from me. Their beer is even available on the local steam railway. Unfortunately for me I can’t stand the stuff. It’s just Brown Flavourless water to me

[@sonsoftheedelweiss72]

The English beers were the best in the world. Then you blokes started selling Budweiser in your pubs sometime after I left in 1986. Why? TT is a classic real ale. Now a days I hv no idea what this new age BEER crap is whether in the UK or the USA. Give me a TT on cask with a beer engine. Heaven! But once they start producing more in volume unfortunately at some point the quality goes down.

[@jamiewatts8244]

Your dog clearly wants a sip!

[@jasonpratt927]

Think it works out £1.67 a bottle ish 😁

Mooring !

[@daveoto1]

Don’t agree with you on this one. In my opinion it tastes nothing like the cask version. Nothing at all. It’s far too carbonated & lacks flavour. It just tastes like a rather bland pale ale.
