A selection of Pub Partners pubs have been chosen to be exclusive members of the new Head Brewer’s Club, a collection of Greene King’s hero cask ale pubs.

Following a rigorous selection process, three hundred out of the 1400 strong estate were picked by the Bury St Edmunds brewers as worthy of the accolade for their dedication to great cask beer.

Greene King head brewer John Bexon says: “Cask beer is a fresh, natural product, produced with wholesome ingredients. You can’t buy it in the supermarket, it is available only in the pub because it’s fresh. The landlord or landlady finishes off the brewing process in the pub cellar and it is their efforts that determine the quality of beer served to the customer. When served in great condition, cask ale is the best drink in the world and I want to pay tribute to these licensees who do it really well. 

“Membership of the Head Brewer’s Club means the guarantee of a great pint and top notch service. The Head Brewer’s plaque of honour will indicate the high standards you can expect at these pubs.   Hearty congratulations to all those that have been chosen and on their achievement”.

David Elliott, managing director for Greene King Pub Partners said, “There is a real enthusiasm for cask beer, so now is the time to try it if you aren’t already an avid fan.  We encourage all our pubs to promote and offer quality cask ale and it’s great that these particular pubs have been recognized for their passion and commitment for a great British pint in a Great British pub”.

Members of the Head Brewer’s Club include an assortment of tenanted and leased pubs from historic country inns to thriving community locals.  For more details about the ‘Head Brewer’s Club,’ an insight into a day in the life of a head brewer and details of other member pubs in the area, please visit www.headbrewersclub.co.uk.
