Where have all the casks gone? I've been trying to buy a 4.5 gallon cask for home-use and found it impossible to locate any. The usual suspects, Keg Services and Alumasc Grundy, have gone have gone out of business and ABUK, Morrow Bros can't get hold of ANY casks for love nor money. What gives here? Are we expecting a sudden influx of new brewery set-ups or is there some other reason for this sudden dearth of casks? The only people I can find supplying casks at present are Maisonneuve, a French company, that only deal in minimum orders of 20
- rather more than I desire. I find it rather gauling(!) that English beer is distributed in French casks and then invariably dispensed into French glasses. What gives!! If anyone can has a spare pin lying around or can suggest any other casks suppliers please let me know!
