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.

Cask Ale Week

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.
