CaskFinder

Discover the UK's finest cask ale pubs with CaskFinder, the essential app for anyone serious about quality beer. Using real-time location awareness, CaskFinder connects you to over 8,500 Cask Marque-approved pubs across Britain—venues that have earned their reputation through rigorous quality inspections and a genuine commitment to cask ale excellence.

Explore pubs near you instantly on an interactive map. Once you've found a pub, browse its current cask ale selection based on the latest Cask Marque inspection data. Curious about a particular beer? Tap the beer logo to access the Cyclops® database, containing standardised tasting notes and detailed information on over 1,000 beers compiled by trained inspectors, including head brewers. This means you're learning from genuine expertise, not guesswork. Build your own beer journal by rating favourite brews and keeping a personal record of discoveries you'd like to revisit.

If you're a brewer enthusiast, follow individual breweries to learn about their full range and instantly see which pubs stock their beers. Or simply browse the database and explore new beers at random—the choice is yours. The Cyclops database updates almost daily, and Cask Marque assessors are active 51 weeks a year, so the information you're seeing reflects the very latest pub offerings and beer releases.

Beyond pub hunting, CaskFinder includes a comprehensive beer festival guide with contact details, admission prices, and maps. Stay informed with the Beer Blog from award-winning beer writer Pete Brown, offering insider perspectives on the industry. Discover the Beer of the Week—a featured regional beer worth seeking out.

Now with caching of ale trail scans, CaskFinder works even when network reception is poor, ensuring you can find great pubs no matter where you are. Remember: cask ale doesn't have a long shelf life and changes regularly, so use the in-app pub phone numbers to confirm your target beer is in stock before making the journey.

CaskFinder draws exclusively from The Cask Marque Trust's quality inspection scheme and the Cyclops Beer standardisation initiative—both industry-sponsored bodies—guaranteeing authoritative, reliable data. Whether you're exploring your local area or travelling across the UK, CaskFinder is the indispensable companion for every cask ale enthusiast.
