UK Beer Debate 2018 - Part 3 of 3
The UK Beer Debate 2018 featured a panel made up of journalists, authors, brewers, bar and pub managers. Recorded live at Green Duck Beer Co in Stourbridge on the 2nd of December 2018.
The topic under discussion in part 3, is Cloudwater - Has a corner been turned?
Cask beer has come in for some bad press recently, with quality generally deteriorating and prices reaching a low point. Many young breweries have chosen to produce only keg, being able to ask a fair price for a quality product.
Craft beer is still a small percentage of overall beer sales in the UK though - if it's good quality, cask beer is a superb product! Are drinkers more prepared now to pay what a beer is worth, or are there still enough people wanting a 'pint at a price' to support the cheap '£50 a cask' brewers?
With Cloudwater announcing the return of their beers in cask, are we about to see an upturn in the quality and price for cask beer, and could that at last see the demise of poorly kept, poorly produced cheap beers?
