Similar to craft beer in London, it can be found in pubs,In Great Britain, How You Serve Cask Ale Is a Matter of Regional Pride Articles restaurants, and sometimes homes.

 

When cask ale is served it must have the following qualities: 

  • It should be warm and not too hot.
  • Unpasteurized. Unpasteurized beers tend to taste better than pasteurized ones.
  • Unfiltered. The process of filtration can strip away some flavour from beer which makes this type unique.
  • Naturally carbonated. This means no added CO² or nitrogen like other types like keg or brewed beer which makes it different.

 

Cask ale has been around for many years but only recently has grown in popularity with people who are looking to try something new or different when they go out drinking with friends. Cask ale is a kind of beer that many people enjoy drinking. It's special because it has to be served at specific temperatures and with certain qualities in order for the consumer to truly appreciate what cask ale is all about. If these qualities are not met then this particular type of cask ale will taste completely different to consumers. It is a matter of pride in some regions of the UK and is a true testament of how to make a proper pint.

 

Cask ale is served in regions all across the UK including London, North England and Scotland but each region has its own way of doing it. In certain parts of Britain like Yorkshire or Newcastle, different beers that are offered at pubs must be kept on hand for specific days and times depending on what type they serve which makes this an even bigger deal. The same can be said about some parts of Wales where cask ales have been brewed since Roman times with many favouring local breweries who produce their own unique types of beer every year during the Welsh Beer Festival.
