Cask Ale Week is returning in September and organiser Cask Marque is setting out the many ways in which pubs, bars, and breweries can get involved.
The event runs from 19th-29th September and celebrates our national drink. Last year there were more than 25,00 events held around the country.
These can be as simple as a promotion on cask beer, maybe a meet the brewer, or tap takeover event. Competitions are popular, too.
Promotion need not be simply in the pub, either. There’s a chance to get involved online, via pub and brewery websites or apps.

The latest in SALT Beer Factory’s Vermont Session IPA series, showcasing different hop flavours in their juiciest form, is here. This month’s release sees Simcoe and Idaho 7 balance notes of berry, peach, apricot, and citrus fruits with resiny pine, tropical, and herbal aromas.
Doolin Rock Pub Company, founded by Colin Coogan and Austin Whelan, has opened its second pub with Greene King Pub Partners. They have taken on The Waggon and Horses, in Newmarket, following a £300,000 investment by Greene King.
Glass Sky (6.5% ABV) is Left Handed Giant’s latest hazy IPA. It’s hopped with Nelson Sauvin, Idaho 7, and Mosaic, each known for their distinctive flavour profiles. Also new in can is Dream House, a 6.2% ABV gluten-free hazy IPA.
