John Taylor, founder of John Taylor and Son's, passes away at 73 years of age. This poem is published posthumously about John Taylor, by Barry Gray and John Savage and A. F. J. Brown. “A Runlet of Ale Among the ales most famed in story, From Adam’s down or old or new There’s none possessing half the glory Or half the life of Taylor’s brew. Their amber brand is light and cheery, Their XX is strong though pale, But give to me, when dull and weary, Their cream, imperial Astor ale”
