Storing and Serving Cask Beer

Cask Beer Delivery, Storage and Service
Delivery and Storage
• Ensure ‘best before’ date has at least 14 days shelf life before signing for delivery
• Store immediately in a cooled area – 12ºC-14ºC (53ºF-57ºF)
• Rotate stock to ensure you use the oldest first
• Seal all empty casks before returning to prevent infection of other beers
Serving
• Storing & Serving Real Beer Temperature – use a thermometer to measure temperature of the beer in the glass. It should read between 12°C-14°C(53°F-57°F)
• Appearance – the beer should be bright and should create a lacing on the side of the glass when drunk. This means the beer has ‘condition’
• Aroma – is it appetising?
• Taste – most important of all, it should taste clean and fresh and not dull and tainted
