Speciality Cask Calendar 2026

Meet Our Seasonal Brews For Jan-Jun 2026

We’ve been brewing beer for a long time now, but there’s one job that still gets the whole team leaning in a little closer: planning the seasonal cask calendar.

Cask is what we love. It’s where our roots are, and it’s where we still find the most room to play. Every year, we take real care over building a line-up that keeps things interesting on the bar — balancing familiar favourites with new recipe brews that give us space to experiment, explore new ideas, and keep cask feeling exciting.

Interest in these limited releases only seems to grow. We still get asked about past favourites, and we know landlords and drinkers alike look forward to seeing what’s coming next. That’s why the calendar matters so much.

Led by our Head Brewer, Ian, and shaped by plenty of tasting, debate and the odd argument, we’ve pulled together a seasonal run that blends Nethergate familiarity with our distinctive"traditionally different" twist.

Take a look below at the schedule from now until June. Get in touch if you'd like any reserving.
