Greg has tabled a motion in Parliament recognising the importance of the National event and will be celebrating locally with a "Meet the Brewer" event at Whitakers in Otley on Wednesday 31st March with the head brewer of Black Sheep. Greg will be pulling the first pint of Golden Sheep, which will be the 200th guest ale served at the pub.
Commenting Greg Said:
"Cask ale is our great national drink and Cask Ale Week is a great way to celebrate and promote it.
"It is notable that real ale is the area of the beer and pub trade that is expanding. I hope people will use Cask Ale Week as an opportunity to support their local pub and the nation's cask ale trade."
"I am also looking forward to pulling the first pint of Golden Sheep, the 200th guest ale at Whitakers a having a pint with the head brewer!"
