CaskFinder

CaskFinder is a specialized mobile application tailored for enthusiasts of Cask Ale, offering a directory of over 8,500 pubs across the UK that are recognized for their quality by the Cask Marque Award. This application effectively utilizes your device's location services to guide you to the nearest pubs, providing detailed information such as the types of beers available, which adhere to the quality standards of The Cyclops® Beer database.

The main purpose of this tool is to enhance the ale-drinking experience by ensuring that users can always find high-quality Cask Ale, regardless of where they are in the UK. The database updates regularly to include new beers and brewers vetted through industry-standard inspections, so users are assured of the quality and authenticity of the ale they are drinking.

An intriguing feature is the ale trail functionality, which allows you to participate in the World’s Biggest Ale Trail, exploring and experiencing different pubs throughout Britain. Additional functionalities include detailed information on over 1,000 beers, all standardized by trained industry experts including Head Brewers. You also have the opportunity to learn about various brewers and discover additional options they offer, which extends your understanding and appreciation of Cask Ale.

Moreover, the app provides access to an array of supplemental resources like Beer Festivals complete with directions and pricing, insightful Beer Blogs by award-winning authors, and a weekly highlight on the Beer of the Week from your region.

For those who are passionate about their beer choices, particularly Cask Ale, CaskFinder ensures that all listings are fresh and up to date, reflecting only those beers currently available based on the pub's last inspection. However, since Cask Ale often sells out quickly and has a limited shelf life, users are encouraged to call ahead using the provided contact details to confirm beer availability, maximizing the ale-seeking adventure without the inconvenience of a wasted trip. Importantly, the application plays an essential role in connecting ale enthusiasts with high-quality options, enriching the pub-going experience across the UK.
