Cask beer played a crucial role in the rise of beer appreciation and remains a unique product, delivering a drinking experience that can’t be achieved any other way. But cask no longer enjoys the same priority among beer connoisseurs and brewers that it once did. Its shorter shelf life and need for conscientious cellaring and dispense is part of the problem, but it’s also misunderstood by many drinkers and surrounded by myths and half-truths dating from times when beer knowledge was disseminated much less widely.

For the first time in a popular book, award-winning beer writer Des de Moor introduces cask beer to a new generation, explaining why it’s still important and what distinguishes it from other beer. He examines the history of cask in detail, explores why it’s survived, and explains why it remains this country’s greatest gift to the world of beer.
