We’ve already blogged several times about the growing popularity of real ale (see our blogs on Cask Ale Week and Cask Marque’s real ale Sat Nav service), and recent reports confirm that real ale is now Britain’s fastest-growing drink.

Ale is benefiting from the trend towards traditional, locally sourced products and there has been an explosion in the number of breweries in Britain, with 71 starting up last year alone. There are now more than 700 breweries in Britain; more per head of the population than anywhere else in the world.

Admiral landlords who’ve yet to consider stocking real ale should consider getting a slice of this lucrative market; Admiral Taverns stock a huge range of cask ales and participates in the “Britains got cask” guest ale scheme, which means our pub landlords are spolit for choice.
