Think you know your cask? 🍺🤔

We put our regulars to the test with our Golden Times Ale and asked them to guess the ABV and style… and honestly, they smashed it! 👏

Proof that we’ve got some serious ale lovers behind the bar. Thanks to our amazing customers for always keeping the cask tradition alive ❤️

Have you tried this month’s Cask Club pint yet?
