In our eyes, farmer Tom Spilsbury is a hero worthy of immortalising as a statue. Over the past few decades, the killer wilt virus has decimated acres of English fuggles hops – an ingredient crucial to the Taylor’s taste.

We can now continue to grow the fuggles that give Taylor’s its inimitable flavour. Here’s to Tom Spilsbury, hops hero, beer legend.
