Improving Beer Quality in Pubs
Since 1997 Cask Marque has been ensuring that the cask ale you drink in pubs is in perfect condition. Each year our 60 qualified assessors make over 20,000 visits to pubs in England, Scotland, Wales, Europe and even the U.S to check the temperature, appearance, aroma and taste of Britain’s favourite drink.
Use our free Caskfinder App and you are guaranteed to receive a great pint of cask ale.
