Spring Break (4.4% ABV), is a golden ale offering aromas of peach, lychee, and tropical fruit.
The cask beer was originally brewed in 2022 in collaboration with two apprentices studying at the University of Nottingham’s brewing programme.
It has since become a “firm favourite” and has doubled in volume, Greene King said.
Great successes
In celebration of St George’s Day on Wednesday 23 April, the Suffolk-based pub operator and brewer has launched a new pump clip for Spring Break, branding it ‘George & the Flagon’.
Pubs can simply swap the pump clip for the duration of the celebration or for as long as they choose to, then revert to a longer use seasonal brand with Spring Break.
Spring Break cask ale and the George and the Flagon pump clip will be available to order throughout March and April.
Greene King brewery brand manager Amina Ali said: “We are proud to have worked with the National Brewing Apprenticeship Programme for a number of years and Spring Break has been one of the great successes to come out of that partnership.
“Spring Break is a fruity golden ale that complements the spring weather as we transition from the darker, stronger cask ales we’ve had in the winter.
Interchangeable branding
“Our seasonal beers are there to support our permanent cask range, offering styles and flavours that are ideal for the time of year and also themed to celebrate special moments in pubs.
“We created the George & the Flagon pump clip to offer flexibility for pubs so that they can celebrate a national day but also have a beer that can be enjoyed over a longer period with interchangeable branding.”
Greene King released its 15-strong calendar for 2025 in January, including a mix of “new collaborations, guest favourites and seasonally themed ales”, available in limited runs throughout the year.
The previous beer to be released as part of the Fresh Cask Releases seasonal calendar was Wolfpack Alpha Stout.
