The organisers of Cask Ale Week 2026 have stated more than 10,000 pubs have signed up to celebrate the event that runs from Thursday 17 September until Sunday 27 September.
Cask Ale Week 2026 is a chance for UK pubs and bars to shine a light on cask beer, which is not available in many other countries and is definitely a USP for the on-trade because it cannot be replicated at home.
Cask is an artisan, flavoursome product that comes in all colours and flavours from pale ales to dark stouts, and is a living drink that continues to ferment in the cask in the cellar. When served in top condition, very little beats a pint of cask ale.
