At Joule’s Brewery, we believe some things are worth doing the old way. That’s why cask ale is at the heart of our brewing philosophy, traditional, naturally conditioned, and served in the way beer was always meant to be enjoyed.
Whether you’re a seasoned real ale enthusiast or just discovering the joy of a hand-pulled pint, here’s what makes Joule’s cask ales truly special.
Often called real ale, cask ale is a living product. It continues to ferment and mature in the barrel, resulting in a soft, natural carbonation and a rich, layered character that changes subtly from pub to pub, even pint to pint.
At Joule’s, we embrace that. We brew our core range to condition naturally in the cask, so that every pour is fresh, full of life, and deeply rewarding.
Crafted for the Handpull
Our beers are designed from the ground up with the cask experience in mind. From the grain bill to the hop character, every element is tuned to shine when served straight from the barrel.
We don’t chase trends or overcomplicate. We focus on balance, body, and drinkability, the hallmarks of a proper pint.
The Cellar is the Soul of the Pub
We believe great beer deserves a great home. That’s why every Joule’s Taphouse is built to support cask ale from cellar to glass. Cool, dark cellars. Immaculate lines. Well-kept handpulls. And most importantly, skilled Landlords and Landladies who understand the quiet art of keeping beer.
Every pint is a reflection of their work, and we celebrate that craft with pride.
Why Cask Still Matters
There’s something timeless about a hand-pulled pint. The ritual. The pour. The feel of the glass in your hand. It connects us to centuries of brewing tradition and to the pub as a gathering place – a warm, welcoming space where beer brings people together.
Cask ale isn’t just a drink. It’s a moment. And at Joule’s, it’s a moment we never rush.
Come Taste the Difference
You won’t find our cask ales on supermarket shelves or in stadium plastic cups. They’re made for the bar, for the glass, and for the kind of pub where the fire’s on and the chat flows.
