What does
‘brewery conditioned ale’
mean?

You may have seen our hand pulls marked with ‘Brewery Conditioned Ale’ and wondered, what does that mean, how is that different to cask ale? It simply means a change in the brewing process, which goes a little something like this:

The brewing process for these ales begins within the brewery exactly as cask conditioned ale would
It then undergoes a controlled conditioning in the brewery, unlike cask conditioned beers where this happens in the cask. That is why it’s called ‘Brewery Conditioned Ale’.
We then pass the ale through a filter to remove the yeast and stop any further fermentation
We package the beer in kegs to keep it fresher for longer than cask conditioned alternatives, ready to be served in your local pub.

Brewery conditioned ales supplement traditional cask ales

by fusing tradition with innovation, to allow pubs that currently do not serve cask ales, or serve only a limited selection, to offer alternative products with a similar taste profile, but extended shelf-life.
