Our Fresh Cask Releases for 2026
Our latest line-up of limited-edition cask ales will bring fresh, high-quality beers to venues throughout 2026. Combining innovation, variety and support, the Fresh Cask Releases range is designed to help venues drive excitement, attract new customers, and keep cask at the heart of the British pub experience.
For 2026, we have 14 exclusive beers, each carefully selected by our expert brewers, who are passionate about crafting distinctive, fresh ales that can only truly be enjoyed in British hospitality venues. Limited edition seasonal cask ales bring excitement into the cask category and stocked alongside the core cask range, can increase your beer sales, particularly during themed events and sporting occasions.
The 2026 line-up brings back several returning favourites, such as Scrumdown and Fireside, along with exciting new beers such as King of the castle, a collaboration with St Austell brewery.
Plus, new for 2026, for our occasion-led beers, we are providing Welcome Paks which include all the pump clips for the whole year, as well as point of sale kits for selected beers to support key occasions.
All Fresh Cask Releases are available in 9G firkins and 4.5G pins, making it easier than ever for venues to expand their cask range, reduce waste, and attract new customers into the category. The Fresh Cask Releases 2026 range perfectly complements Greene King and Belhaven’s permanent cask portfolio, including Greene King IPA, Abbot Ale, Old Speckled Hen, Deuchars IPA, and Belhaven’s 80 Shilling.
According to independent CGA data cask ale represents a major growth opportunity for venues, accounting for 45% of all servers in the on-trade.
What’s more, 60% of cask drinkers visit during the week, helping boost midweek footfall, and the same proportion say they’re open to upgrading their ale choice- meaning a strong premium range can directly drive additional revenue.
