As I'm sure you are aware, since changing over to Greene King, we have tried our best to continue providing an excellent range cask ale. This year we are trying to take it one step further and run a cask ale week between September 19th - September 29th. During this week we will aim to utilise 10 of our 12 handpumps at once, offering the biggest selection we have had in a while. Additionally, during this week, CAMRA members will be able to get 20% off all ale.
