Landlord by Timothy Taylor is Britain’s most awarded beer. 4 time CAMRA Champion and 4 time Gold medal winner.

Brewed with just one malt, Golden Promise, it delivers a rich, wine like depth that’s earned it the nickname “the Burgundy of real ales.”

Fun fact: the name came from a 1953 staff contest, and Madonna once declared it her favourite beer on TV. Citrusy hops meet smooth malt in every perfect pint, proper class in a glass.
