“Cask beer …is in serious, serious decline. Outside of the wonderful cask focused pubs you or I probably drink in, cask is becoming a little bit of a rarity. If that continues, where are the new drinkers, that the sector so desperately needs, going to come from? Where are they going to discover the joys of great real ale? “
