Cask Conditioned Dispensing

Cask-conditioned beer, often referred to as 'real ale,' is brewed from only traditional ingredients and allowed to mature naturally.  Casks (also called a firkin) are filled by many local craft brewers.

The unfiltered, unpasteurized beer still contains live yeast, which continues conditioning the beer in the cask (known as 'secondary fermentation'); this process creates a gentle, natural CO2 carbonation and allows malt and hop flavors to develop, resulting in a richer tasting beer with more character than standard keg ('brewery-conditioned') beers.

Real ale is always served without any extraneous gas, usually by manually pulling it up from the cellar with a handpump (also known as a 'beer engine'). This is the traditional way of serving beer; only a few decades ago did filtered, pasteurized, chilled beer dispensed with gas become normal.

It's simple to add cask conditioned beers to any establishment.  Offer your guests more choice.  Dispense a pint of Cask Conditioned Real Ale and enjoy the freshest expression of the Brewers Art!
