Cask beer from the Brewery Store is "bright" ready to drink and does not need time to settle.

2 pint best within 2 days of collection.

18 & 36 pint containers best within 5 days of collection

Q, How long does bright beer last?

A, Very much depends upon the following;

Quantity of beer, a full Piggin (18 pints) will be good for a week or more but the last 4 or 5 pints will only last a couple of days.
Exposure to Oxygen, a full Jug (2 pints) will be good for a few days after purchase but have one pint and go back to it the next day and the beer will not be as good.
Storage temperature, traditionally real ale is stored and served between 8 - 12°C, too cold and the beer will appear dull and lifeless, too warm and the beer will spoil quickly.
Movement, when the beer is collected from the brewery the container should be stored in a place where it will be dispensed. We recommend the porch or conservatory, somewhere with no heating but that doesn't get too cold. The more times the container is moved the more gas is shaken out of the beer and the more air gets into the beer.

Simple rules to follow;

The fresher the better.
Buy smaller containers that are consumed in one or two sessions, just buy more containers. This will also give you a chance to try some variety.
Always buy backup bottles or cans, nothing worse than misjudging how much to buy and running out of beer. Another advantage with having some bottles is that if you do have some bright beer that has gone beyond its best you can liven it up by mixing it with a bottle.
