I opened the link a second time to check it, but the FT had put up a paywall. Hopefully, if you're a first time reader you'll get away with it. If not, a googlle search should bring up the article....if you can be bothered! Effin' paywalls.

Strange article really, I’m not sure how cask will be “saved” by becoming a heritage beer style for craft brewers to play with in their spare time. It’s still on the bar in a decent number of local pubs here, I just rarely see anyone under 40 drinking it. But they’re not drinking craft either, they’re drinking Madri and Cruzcampo. I know he’s a beer enthusiast and will naturally talk to other beer enthusiasts first, but I feel like he overstates the impact of craft beer in the UK outside the big cities?

Thanks!
" and partly because it’s happening in taprooms and small Venues."(Referring to cask). This can often apply to craft, especially in country, village/small town "local" pubs. I know I don't regularily look for craft keg, but I rarely find it in traditional outlets. Having said that, the condition and quality of cask in Taps and Alehouses seems to outscore many regular pubs, tied or free.

Quite a good article,although the 10 new cask ales to try list seems a bit patronising but might peak the interest of younger FT readers who avoid old man handpumped ale.

Good point that the multinational owners of cask ale brands show no real interest in their quality leading well know cask brands to become "so staid" while many pubs don't keep these ubiquitous cask brands in decent condition.

I have seen a few craft beer operators offer cask versions of their wares with positive outcomes ,so maybe this might get younger beer drinkers to abandon their handpump aversion.

Thanks for highlighting this - I'd never heard of it before. Don't think I'm using it quite right though. I pasted the FT link into the box and then clicked search, but nothing appeared. Is there something else I'm supposed to do? I'll openly admit, I'm pretty rubbish with computers.

That's what I did and it worked for me. Perhaps you haven't copied the whole of the link?

Start by opening the paywall removal app. Then right-click on the link in your post at the top of this thread, choose copy link and then switch to the tab where you've opened the remove paywall app, then paste and click search, it should work.
