In celebration of Cask Ale Week 2021, we brought together leading figures from the beer and hospitality trades through a light-hearted panel discussion, entitled “Cask Meets Craft”.
Compered by The Morning Advertiser editor, Ed Bedington, the panel explored what the camps of cask ale and modern craft beer can learn from one another, as well as the future direction of the brewing industry following the pandemic.
Sitting on the panel alongside Simon Theakston, joint managing director of Theakston Brewery, was Cat Fergusson, editor of The OnTrade Preview; Greg Hobbs, co-founder and head brewer at Five Points Brewing, and Chris Jowsey, CEO of Admiral Taverns.
