Cask Ale Week 2010

Over 8000 pubs will be helping celebrate Britain’s National Drink during Cask Ale Week 2010

Each year Cask Marque, with support from CAMRA, SIBA and IFBB, organises National Cask Ale Week to celebrate Britain’s National Drink.

From March 29th – 5th April the nation’s pubs will raise a glass to real ale to toast everything brilliant about beer.

If you’re a landlord, pub goer or ale virgin we have all the information you need to make this year bigger and better or take a look at what we got up to in 2009 for some inspiration.
