Yorkshire Wolds brewery launches cask conditioned beers to enjoy in lockdown

A range of Wold Top Brewery beers, including gluten free options and a monthly seasonal special beer that is normally reserved for pubs, are now available in 5 litre/8.7 pint mini casks.

Brewery Director, Kate Balchin explained the rationale for the launch of the casks.

"While nothing beats enjoying a beer in a pub with family and friends, our customers are asking for cask conditioned beer that they can enjoy at home," she said.

"The mini casks keep for up to five days and can be bought singly, or as part of either a monthly or prepaid subscription."

Monthly cask subscriptions cost £40 for two mini casks or £35 for one mini cask and a choice of six bottled beers from Wold Top's core range and prepaid cask subscriptions start at £120 for three months and include a free gift. All options can be ordered online and include delivery.

The recyclable metal casks keep the beer in good condition for three to five days provided it's kept cool and the top vent is closed after use.
