As part of the brewery’s 2026 Fresh Cask Releases calendar, the popular Spring Break beer is making its return to pubs across the UK from March through to the end of April.
Spring Break 4.4% ABV golden ale will remain true to its popular recipe: hoppy, light, with hints of peach, lychee and tropical notes, offering drinkers a flavourful pint perfect for the brighter months to come, according to the brewer.
Additional pump clips
In response to “continued innovation with pump clip designs and a focus on visual appeal”, Greene King is introducing two additional pump clip designs for Spring Break in 2026 – meaning publicans can bade Spring Break in any of three ways.
- Spring Break – the original pump clip design
- George and the Flagon – “a character led, playful design, created to help pubs celebrate St George’s Day, adding personality and a conversation spark at the bar”
- Four Leaf – “a fresh, seasonal, spring themed pump clip inspired by St Patrick’s Day, bringing a sense of optimism and a reason to celebrate”
Pubs and bars will receive all three pump clips with their usual on-trade beer order, giving pubs the flexibility to tailor their bar presentation to their venue style and guest preferences.
Patron saint celebrations
Greene King brand manager Amina Ali said: “Spring Break is always a favourite with our drinkers and we appreciate they will be keen to enjoy the beer again; however, we have also considered that some pubs want to be able to showcase pump clips tailored to special occasions such as St George’s Day and St Patrick’s Day when utilising a seasonal beer.
“By offering multiple pump clip designs, we’re helping our customers create stand-out moments that appeal to different audiences, while delivering the same high quality golden cask ale that guests return for year after year.”
Spring Break will be available in firkins and pins (36-pint units), along with all other seasonal cask beers, providing pubs with greater flexibility on throughput.
