Firebrand goes back to 1864 for Cask Ale Week
Cornish brewery Firebrand Brewing Co. is celebrating Cask Ale Week by going back 162 years and brewing a 4.8% Traditional Pale Ale inspired by an 1864 recipe.
The beer takes inspiration from a period of significant change in British brewing, when developments in brewing, cask conditioning, transport and distribution were helping to shape the more approachable beers we know and love today.
Founder and Head Brewer, Joe Thomson, has kept the recipe deliberately simple with just pale ale malt and classic English Goldings hops. This creates a light biscuity and bready beer backbone, with earthy, floral hop character, firm bitterness and a crisp, dry finish.
With only 20–24 casks brewed, the beer will be available for a limited time only to pubs across the UK, subject to availability, during Cask Ale Week (17–27 September 2026).
