Cask Fermentation

Cask fermentation is a process where beer continues to mature and develop flavors inside the wooden casks it is stored in. During aging, natural yeasts and residual sugars interact within the cask, producing complex aromas, subtle carbonation, and depth of flavor. This method often involves minimal intervention, allowing the beer’s natural characteristics to evolve over time. The use of wood can also impart unique nuances, enhancing the final taste profile. Cask fermentation is valued for creating richer, more nuanced beers that showcase the influence of traditional aging techniques.
