but were afraid to ask..........or have forgotten!!!!

The brewery oom-pa-loompas have requested that an article be written (they are unable to write themselves as their small, fat hands can only mash the keyboard, causing frustration and tears) in an attempt to enlighten (educate) our clientele (punters) on the topic of cask styles and specifically on tapping them. Much hilarity has been encountered recently with some returned casks providing a great deal of entertainment to the brewers and a great deal of swearing on the part of Roy the cask washing – loompa as he struggles to extricate the tap from the wrong orifice!!!

So hold onto your proverbial hats as we immerse ourselves into the world of casks and beer.

First off we’ll talk briefly about the type of beer you can purchase from the brewery, that is ‘Bright Beer’ or ‘Real Beer’.
