Ale in the dale is an important part of local life. It is essential that we serve the very best local beers to our customers. Not only does this give great awareness of the local products but it also creates a great talking point at our bar. Why not join the conversation?
30 years ago the British beer industry was at its lowest point with little choice due to the huge breweries having bought or pushed out the smaller breweries. Foreign larger's & keg ales became the norm as the huge conglomerates tried to take over the countries brewing industry.
Fortunately the public had had enough & revolted and as the Campaign for Real Ale did, the Craven Arms has embraced this “real” cask ale revolution. Individual local beers are now being produced by small “micro” breweries & the public are demanding them. Ladies are now opting for & savouring a craft beer.
Keeping the beers is not easy. They are living things and the conditioning of them in the cellar to get them to the bar in peak condition requires considerable attention to detail.
The Craven Arms is passionate about the cellar work and this is
bourne out by the rapidly increasing sales being experienced.
