A CAMRA Learn & Discover video guide
Cask beer, cask ales or cask conditioned beer. You might have seen these words on pub signs, bar menus and beer festival marketing. But what exactly is cask beer? Why is it special or different? And, what does that mean to you as a beer drinker and to your experience of drinking cask beer. Drinks educator and micropub owner Alison Taffs guides us through this brief, beginners introduction to cask beer on it’s journey from the brewery to your glass at the bar.
