On the weekend of April 7-8, we’re running a cask beer festival the like of which we don’t think you’ll have seen before, featuring some of the UK’s finest and most exciting breweries.

This festival aims to start a positive conversation about cask-conditioned beer. For too long it has been devalued and even regarded as beer's less-valid cousin. This needs to change. Cask beer at its best is an unprecedented thing of beauty.

There are three aspects we are looking to tackle head on:

Price

Range

Quality of serve

When you see what ourselves and our friends have come up with, we hope you'll agree that all three of these critical elements have been absolutely nailed.

There'll be two sessions, on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th April, and an equal amount of beer (30 casks - one from each brewery) will be available on each day. Sunday's beers will all be different to Saturday's, and once they're gone, they're gone. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment!

The event will be co-hosted with our friends from Partizan Brewing, who are located just around the corner on Raymouth Road.

60 casks from 30 breweries will be available over the weekend, and every single beer, regardless of style, ABV or ingredients, will be £5 a pint. Halves will be available.

Food will be plentiful and wide-ranging. With this much amazing beer to try, solids are important and highly recommended!

Your ticket will get you a branded festival glass, collectable on the day, a welcome half pint pour of a beer of your choice, and a souvenir brochure with full details of all the beers available over the weekend.
