Gen Z is saving cask ale in the U.K.

A new U.K. survey shows 25% of Gen Z beer drinkers regularly order cask ale—up 50% in a year. Are younger drinkers just waiting for a reason to go out?

In a prime media slot for coverage of #CaskAleWeek 2025, I was on BBC Radio 5 with Laura McGhie on Sunday morning to talk about Britain's signature beer style. For the few unfortunate souls who didn't hear it, you can find it on BBC Sounds at around 3h7m in. Cheers! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Really pleased to see this one out in the wild. Beer and temperature for The Telegraph.

The temperature of beer affects its flavour in more ways than one – try these brews to see how

Cold isn’t always best – a subtle tweak to the temperature of your favourite ale can draw out its bitterness, sweetness or umami oomph
