There are plenty of things we enjoy about brewing beer, but few generate as much discussion, excitement and anticipation around the brewery as planning our seasonal cask calendar.
Cask ale remains at the heart of everything we do. It's where our heritage lies, and it's where we continue to find the greatest opportunity to showcase creativity, craftsmanship and character. Every seasonal release is carefully considered, allowing us to balance much-loved favourites with exciting new brews, reimagined recipes and beers that capture the flavours and atmosphere of the changing seasons.
As interest in our limited-edition cask ales continues to grow, we know many drinkers, landlords and beer enthusiasts look forward to seeing what comes next. We regularly receive requests to bring back beers from years gone by, alongside suggestions for styles and flavours people would love to see return. Building the calendar gives us the opportunity to revisit some of those favourites while also exploring new ideas and seasonal inspirations.
Led by our Head Brewer, Ian, and shaped by plenty of tasting sessions, recipe development and healthy debate, this year's collection showcases the passion, creativity and adventurous spirit of our brewing team. From nostalgic favourites and reinvented classics to festive specials brewed specifically for the colder months, each beer has earned its place in the line-up.
Spanning a range of styles, strengths and flavour profiles, the calendar has been thoughtfully scheduled to complement changing tastes as the year progresses. Whether you enjoy traditional bitters, rich ruby ales, dark and warming winter brews or something with a more contemporary twist, there's something to look forward to throughout the season.
Take a look at the full schedule below and discover what's coming to the bar over the months ahead. If you'd like to find out more, discuss availability, or reserve a cask or two for your pub, festival or event, we'd love to hear from you.
