Fresh Cask Ale
Cask-conditioned beer, like all living things, is a fleeting phenomenon. Firkins are emptied and new ones brought in all the time. That makes it a challenge to keep up with what cask ales can be found in New England. With that in mind, here's what we've heard about recently tapped real ale. If you would like to share news about a cask, you may tweet to @NERAX on Twitter, visit the NERAX Facebook Page, or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

See also our maps of Cask in Boston and Cask in New England, which will give a more general idea of where cask is likely to be found.
Cheers!
About CASC
CASC (the Cask-conditioned Ale Support Campaign) was formed in the spring of 1997 to promote real ale festivals in the Boston area. It was established to promote and educate brewers, publicans, and the public about the brewing, distribution, and pleasures of real ale. We are dedicated to the sensible enjoyment of top-fermented, traditionally brewed ales that undergo a secondary fermentation in the vessel from which they are served. CASC is a group of like-minded individuals who seek to expand the awareness of producers, distributors, and consumers about the use of traditional ingredients in, and dispensing of, real ales.

What is Real Ale?
Real ale is a top-fermented beer that completes its secondary fermentation in the container from which it is served. Cask-conditioned beers are real ales served from the brewer's cask.
