This week we are at the Supercute Beer Festival on Saturday from 12pm to 9pm at Croydon Road Recreatio

Sorry for the cap for your weekly update, Matt was truly sleepy after a week in a tent, in 31c heat and attending a Metal Festival in German called Wacken Open Air.

Off the top we are pushing back our Jaipur Cask Takeover on Wednesday due to the extreme heat. We love Cask Beer and believe that Cask Weather is all Weather. However, that works when you have a great range at a lower abv, not three casks all sitting at 5.7%+ on one of the hottest days of the year. We will however get these three awesome beers on all at once in the coming weeks. All three can be found in our What's in the Cellar section below. Thursday however, sees our first

During May the Campaign For Real Ale celebrates the every enjoyable and perfectly made for Cask, the Mild. To help revive the drink which saw a drop in popularity, CAMRA branches encourage local pubs to have at least one mild on the bar during the month of May, and that is exactly what we have been doing.
