Cask Beer for Pubs

At Wold Top Brewery, cask beer is at the heart of what we do. Brewed on our family farm in the Yorkshire Wolds, our cask ales are crafted with care using homegrown barley, pure chalk-filtered water from the farm’s borehole, and carefully selected hops. The result is a range of distinctive beers that celebrate both traditional brewing and the landscape that inspires us.

Cask beer, often referred to as real ale is a living product. It continues to mature naturally in the cask, developing flavour and character before being served fresh through hand pull in pubs and bars. This traditional method of dispense creates a smooth, balanced pint with gentle natural carbonation and a depth of flavour that simply can’t be replicated by other formats.

Our cask range includes some of our best-known and most loved beers, including classics like Wold Gold, Scarborough Fair and Headland Red, alongside seasonal specials and limited releases throughout the year. Each beer is designed to showcase balance, drinkability and character, making them perfect for pubs that want to offer customers a proper pint of Yorkshire ale.

For pubs and bars, serving cask beer offers something truly special. It creates theatre at the bar, brewing heritage, and delivers a pint that encourages customers to slow down and savour the experience. Many drinkers actively seek out pubs serving well-kept cask ale, making it a valuable addition to any bar offering.

Our casks are supplied ready for cellaring, and we are always happy to offer advice on storage, conditioning and best practice to ensure every pint reaches the customer in perfect condition. Whether you’re an established real ale pub or looking to introduce cask to your lineup, our team is here to help.

Mini Casks for Home and Events

For those who want to enjoy fresh cask beer outside of the pub, our mini casks bring the experience home.

Mini casks contain real ale in a compact 5-litre format, allowing drinkers to enjoy the character of traditional cask beer wherever they are. Once tapped and vented, the beer pours naturally from the built-in tap, just like a miniature version of a pub cask.

They’re ideal for gatherings, celebrations, barbecues, and weekends away, or simply for enjoying a few proper pints at home. Many of our customers love taking mini casks on camping trips, to holiday cottages, or sharing them with friends and family at parties.

Because mini casks contain real ale, they should be stored upright in a cool place and consumed within a few days once opened to enjoy the beer at its best. The reward is a fresh, full-flavoured pint that captures the authentic character of cask ale.

We regularly release our most popular beers in mini cask format, making it easy to bring a taste of the Yorkshire Wolds to your own table.
