(not to mention the physical space a cask cellar would take up) a lot of our serious beer customers make sure they always have an extra glass from the previous pint on hand, order well in advance, and pour a little into the extra glass just to raise the temp that couple of extra degrees where the flavours and aromas start to flow. cheers the beer temperature thing is a tough one. cellar temp storage areas are not an easy thing to acheive without pots & pots of cash. i’m finding out the hard way. i’ve been looking to introduce permant cask at the alibi for months now but don’t want to compromise the beer quality by serving at the wrong temperature. but the hardware (beer engines included) is very hard to come by.
