We're incredibly lucky this year to host the Michael Jackson Award in honour of the great British beer writer to celebrate the best in American Cask Ale.

Previously this award was hosted at the Great British Beer Festival, but as that's not on this year, we've stepped in to both ensure that the much coveted award goes ahead, and that such an amazing range of US Cask is available to drinkers in Peterborough!

Most of these beers have never been seen in the UK before, and some have never been seen in cask before. This really is a treat for fans of cask ale, to see how the American brewers are adopting this traditional way of serving beer, and adapting their skills and recipes to suit.
