Cask beer earns place in ark
Latest News from East Central

Cask beer earns place in ark

The Slow Food Movement has recognised the significance of the United Kingdom’s cask beer tradition by making it a part of its Ark of Taste. Founded in Italy in 1986, Slow Food seeks to support food that is good, clean and fair for everyone on the planet. The Ark of Taste is a collection of “small-scale quality productions that belong to the cultures, history and traditions of the entire planet”. Cask joins the list of more than 6,600 unique ingredients, production methods and gastronomic traditions that are significant both to their communities and to the wider world.
