Definitely the Lake District as the water there is so soft. I also had this imperial pint somewhere after a long drive (I can't remember where unfortunately) which was lovely. And finally the best cask beers I've ever had were in Skipton/Gargrave. You can't beat the northern sparkler! One I remember in particular I *think* was at The Boar's Head in Long Preston. They had a very dark beer which I think was called Ink Jet and it was beautiful!

American beer (particularly craft) is amazing, but please try to come to a great UK pub! You would love cask beer. It's a unique experience. A perfect cask pint is hard to describe, but it's generally smooth and very session-able. I normally like to try multiple varieties on a night out, but a good pub with good cask beer means you can generally stick to the same beer all night and love every pint. This video is brilliant is describing how it needs to be served - and only the best pubs get it right.

Fantastic start to the series. A great way to shed the stuffy reputation cask ale has gotten in recent decades. CAMRA has done great work at keeping cask "purity" but has not helped itself with public image or media management resulting in a reputation of being somehow outdated and exclusionary. This series looks like it could be a helping hand at attracting or/and educating more youthful drinkers that wouldn't ordinarily choose cask by highlighting the artisnal and historical aspects that aren't always at the forefront of a drinkers mind.

I love cask ale! It's why I worked in a Fullers pub and there was no better satisfaction than tapping an ESB! It's a beautiful art. That said though, there's so much bad cask. So many pubs are clueless, the majority use long life plastic spiles, lots use vertical extraction (all brewdog pubs do this - absolute no respect) and since people have been returning to pubs management of pubs are reluctant to add a variety of cask. You also have pub companies like Greene King who have 'must stock' products (Greene King IPA, 'house' bitter) which are usually of poorer quality and not very popular so they detoriate, the management figures there no demand for other cask beers so that's all whats on offer. It's like if you had a sweet shop and you were forced to sell chocolate with shit in and no one wanted it you might think no one likes chocolate. I love cask and whenever I go to a new pub I will ask 'what's your most popular cask' that way I know which will be the freshest and if its Doom Bar its a shit pub.

I think there is some confusion in the (secondary fermentation) that occurs in the cellar. I work in a cask ale pub and look after cellar and everything that goes with that, as far as I'm aware the secondary fermentation happens in a "warm" room at the brewery and when we vent the beer we are just depressurising the cask and waiting for the right level of conditioning before we serve, (No fermentation in the cellar) if I'm wrong please let me know
@neotropos3 жыл бұрын
This was my understanding as well - the secondary fermentation happens at the brewery at a suitable temperature to spur the yeast, then it needs to be cooled to cellar temperature, settled, vented and tapped before serving. There will be some residual flavour development and biotransformation after the secondary, but all fermentation is (or should be) done at the brewery.
@TheCraftBeerChannel3 жыл бұрын
Apologies for the confusion. Yes very often secondary fermentation occurs at the brewery but so many of them package the beer almost fully carbed so warm storage is less vital - it's nearly really to go, which partly explains the difference in when these beers are ready (hours or days)

So happy yous are doing this :) Really important stuff. I'm just so lucky to have the Grapes in Liverpool as my local. So many good small breweries in and around Liverpool at the moment. One thing though is I genuinely think that pints poured without a sparkler can put people off. A frothy head with big bubbles can look at bit off and old-fashioned. Whereas a more "northern" style pint pulled through a sparkler with a smooth head and some texture to it is more appealing, and closer to more widely available beers. What does anyone else think?

Don't know of any locally (eastern Canada) that do cask ale. Sure, you get the odd brewery that will hold back a keg, maybe they have taken a keg of one of their staples, and have added something to it prior to filling, and one night a week, they will tap the firken and have a cask night. That's about as close as it gets here.

You guys should get yourselves down to the Scale Lane/High Street area of Hull's Old Town. There's half a dozen excellent pubs, dating back to around the 16th century, serving almost exclusively real ale. Cask ale is alive and well in Hull.

As a brewer/distiller, my experiences with cask are as follows... Short shelf life (pubs only get 3-5 days to use up the beer once its tapped). Also the shelf life of cask even before its tapped is only around 6 weeks. Many pubs don't care for their beer lines and you end up with sour, warm beer. Cask doesn't (imo) really work as well as keg for the current predominant beer style (IPA). When its done right though, its a thing of beauty - preferably with a sparkler (cask in-joke).

Indeed these are key issues, but you can 100% brew great hoppy and IPA like beers for cask as we'll find out in episode 3!

Would you rate the fountain cask over the Wenlock down the road?
