s we move into September and October, the focus shifts from peak Summer trading to making the most of early Autumn occasions, changing customer habits and the return of more regular routines. With schools back, evenings drawing in and customers looking for cosy, welcoming places to eat, drink and spend time together, this is a key period to keep momentum going.
TOP PICK! Crisp & refreshing PAGE 38
For me, this is also a brilliant time to celebrate one of the true cornerstones of the Great British pub: cask ale. From Cask Ale Week to Autumn food occasions, Halloween, half-term and the build-up to the festive season, there are plenty of opportunities for our Free Trade customers to showcase quality cask, drive footfall and give guests a reason to discover something new on the bar. In this issue, we’re shining a spotlight on cask ale, exploring why it remains such an important point of difference for pubs and how the right range, quality serve and seasonal line-up can help you make the most of the months ahead. Alongside this, you’ll find drinks deals and promotions to help refresh your offer, add value and support a successful Autumn trading period. Everyone at Greene King and Belhaven looks forward to working with you and supporting a busy, successful September and October ahead.

Your support needed to champion
VAT CUT for Hospitality
MOMENTUM HAS ACCELERATED THIS YEAR BEHIND CALLS FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO REDUCE THE RATE OF VAT PAID BY HOSPITALITY IN THE UK.
W
ith pubs, bars, restaurants, cafes, hotels, and more all seeing costs increase significantly in recent years, there is increasing awareness of how a cut in VAT would give all hospitality businesses the boost they need to continue serving their communities for years to come. Led by renowned chef, publican and TV presenter Tom Kerridge, the VAT’s the Problem campaign is calling for a VAT cut from 20% to 10% for the whole of the hospitality sector. Its aim is to reach a million signatures to demonstrate to the Government the strength of support behind this. Belhaven is backing the campaign and is pleased to share a letter with our readers from Tom Kerridge on why your support is so important.

SEP- OCT 2026
DEAR ‘VALUE FOR VENUES’ READER,
O
ur sector is under huge pressure. We know it. We live and breathe it every day. We know that the key to unleashing hospitality’s potential to grow and thrive into the future comes through a VAT cut. We’re making sure Government knows that too, and we need your help. That’s why we’ve launched #VATsTheProblem. It’s a nationwide campaign for all hospitality businesses to unite behind a call to cut VAT for hospitality to 10%. In Europe, VAT rates run anywhere between 8% and 12%, whereas we sit as one of the highest with 20%. That needs to change and we need your help to push this message to Government, your guests, your customers and the public at large. We’ve launched a petition, and we’re aiming to get a million signatures supporting a VAT cut to 10% for hospitality. Now is the time for hospitality to galvanise behind this campaign. Three hospitality businesses per day are closing. We need them to stay open, we need growth, we need to bring youth unemployment down and we need to secure the future of the most exciting sector that we have. Our ask is simple. Firstly, visit www.vatstheproblem.co.uk and add your name to the petition, or scan the QR code next to this letter. Secondly, help spread the message in your venue. Displaying #VATsTheProblem posters, beer mats and other campaign materials is a simple way to raise awareness with customers and encourage more people to get involved. All the campaign assets are on the website and you can either download materials to print yourself, or order them to be delivered directly to your venue. Be part of a movement that aims to get hospitality recognised and taxed in a much fairer way. I know that the Government is listening, but we do need to push hard. Ask every single member of your team to sign the petition, and ask them to rally their friends and family, too. Let’s all get behind the campaign, make our voices heard and bang the drum for hospitality! Big love,
“NOW IS THE TIME FOR HOSPITALITY TO GALVANISE BEHIND THIS CAMPAIGN.” TOM KERRIDGE

CASK F ALE
or pubs, bars and hospitality venues, that makes cask a powerful point of difference. Whether you are serving loyal regulars, encouraging midweek visits or giving curious drinkers something new to try, a well-kept cask range can help create conversation, drive footfall and add theatre to the bar.
A PROPER POINT OF DIFFERENCE
In an ever-changing drinks landscape, cask ale remains one of the defining features of the Great British pub. It is distinctive, characterful and, most importantly, something customers cannot recreate in the same way at home.

SEP- OCT 2026
This September and October, cask has an even bigger moment to shine, with Cask Ale Week running from Thursday 17 to Sunday 27 September. It is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the category, refresh your range and give customers a reason to explore what is on the hand-pull.
Why cask still matters Cask ale is more than just a drink; it is part of the pub experience. It offers provenance, craft and tradition in every pint, while giving venues a genuine reason for customers to choose the pub over the sofa. For regular cask drinkers, it is a trusted favourite. For others, it is an opportunity to discover something different. The key is making it easy, approachable and well-presented. A clear range, confident team recommendations, quality glassware and simple tasting notes can all help customers feel comfortable trying something new. Cask also works hard for venues. It can support quieter trading periods, encourage repeat visits and give regulars a reason to check what is new on the bar. When served well, it becomes a marker of quality and care across the whole venue.
SPEAK TO YOUR SALES DEVELOPMENT MANAGER ABOUT BUILDING THE RIGHT CASK RANGE FOR YOUR VENUE AND MAKING THE MOST OF CASK ALE WEEK
A seasonal ale line-up gives venues a simple way to keep the bar fresh and link the range to key trading moments through the year.
Make Cask Ale Week work harder
Quality starts in the cellar
Cask Ale Week is a ready-made reason to put cask in the spotlight. It gives venues the chance to celebrate the category, encourage trial and create activity that feels social, relevant and easy to join in with.
A great pint of cask begins long before it reaches the glass. Cellar standards, temperature control, line cleaning, stillaging and stock rotation all play a vital role in delivering the flavour the brewer intended. For customers, quality is everything. A well-kept pint builds trust and encourages repeat purchase. Greene King supports venues with practical cellar guidance and support materials to help teams maintain standards day to day.
Simple ideas include tasting flights, a “beer of the day”, chalkboard tasting notes, team recommendations, quiz nights, live music or social media posts showing what is currently pouring. The aim is to make cask visible, accessible and worth talking about. Even small touches at the bar can help customers feel more confident trying something new.
Trial, rotate and reduce risk A successful cask range should balance consistency with discovery. Core brands give regulars confidence, while seasonal and rotating ales give customers something new to try. For venues that want to expand their range without overcommitting, smaller formats such as 4.5G pins can help support trial and maintain freshness. They are particularly useful for quieter trading days, seasonal specials or venues introducing cask to new drinkers. Tasting flights can also help remove the fear of choosing a full pint. Offering smaller serves encourages exploration, supports upsell and gives teams a natural way to start conversations about flavour, style and recommendations.
Stock with confidence Greene King’s Cask Iron Guarantee gives venues added confidence when stocking Greene King cask ales. If any Greene King cask ales go out of date, whether broached or unbroached, venues can claim a full refund for unbroached casks and credit for the remaining volume on broached casks.*
The final pour Cask ale remains one of the pub trade’s most distinctive assets. It brings heritage, flavour, theatre and a genuine reason for customers to visit. With the right range, strong cellar standards and simple promotional activity, cask can work hard throughout September, October and beyond. From trusted favourites such as Greene King IPA and Belhaven 80 Shilling, to modern choices like Yardbird and seasonal ales, make cask a standout part of your offer.
*Excludes 4.5G pins. Cask Iron Guarantee terms and conditions apply.

HISTORY
JACK PALMER, WHO HAS BEEN IN HIS ROLE AT GREENE KING SINCE 2022, HOLDS MASTER BREWER STATUS AND HIS PREVIOUS JOBS INCLUDE WORKING AT GUINNESS IN DUBLIN. WITH CASK ALE WEEK ON THE HORIZON, HE WAS QUICK TO UNDERLINE WHY HE FEELS THIS NATIONWIDE CELEBRATION IS SO IMPORTANT. “Cask ale is what makes British brewing special, I think when you get cask at its best you can’t beat it, it’s brilliant. I do think it should be celebrated more, I’m actually waiting for the trend to go full circle, because cask is the purest form of beer. It’s coming straight out of the tank into the cask whilst it is still fermenting and then you’re drinking it. It’s what makes British pubs unique.” With such a loyal customer base the responsibility of maintaining the quality of old favourites such as IPA and Abbot Ale is huge. But it is one that Jack thrives on. “There is a recipe book – and when you first join it does take you a little bit of time to understand how each beer is made. IPA is pretty much unchanged from 100 years ago. Abbot Ale is 75 years old now and that will have changed very little too. It reached the final of Great British Beers last year, which was great recognition for the work that we’re doing.”
expect, our calendar focuses on the time of year in which the beer will be consumed. The seasonals give us a chance to try different things as well. We’ve experimented with stouts and fruit flavoured beers and that’s key for the cask offering moving forwards.” It is a job Jack is clearly passionate about - with Greene King’s portfolio providing him with the perfect balance of old and new. “I love being in the brewery with all the nice smells and the smart kit that we have. The lovely thing about Greene King is that we combine the heritage of our traditional cask ales with our new product development work too and the development of new premium beers like Level Head and Pilfer has been really exciting.” “I never forget that it’s our heritage that makes us unique, but we’re aiming to make history with our new beers too now.”
In addition to the curation of those classic beers, the firm’s Head of Brewing is overseeing an exciting range of new cask flavours too.
Another important aspect for the brewing team is ensuring that when the beer leaves the brewery it arrives at the venue in the best possible state.
“Our seasonal cask offering has really developed and as you might
“From the grains coming in the door to leaving to go the venue, we test the

beer up to 200 times. And we taste every cask batch before it leaves us to ensure the end customer is getting exactly what we expect.” Jack is also in regular contact with the marketing team to discuss the industry’s latest trends, including the growth in Gluten Free and low and no options. “Our Gluten Free bottled products are proving very popular and this is something we are certainly looking to expand upon. In terms of alcohol free, the market is going from strength-to-strength and there have been huge improvements in taste in these over the last few years. The technology is advancing all the time and we’re constantly looking at it.” With exciting developments in place Jack has every reason to be optimistic about Greene King’s brewing future. “Whenever I go into a venue with our beers on, and I see people in there drinking them, it makes me incredibly proud. And with our new brewery opening in 2028 we are set for another exciting chapter, one that secures the future of brewing in Bury St Edmunds.”

ENERGY Fresh
at The Last Shift
Last year it looked as though it had quite literally been the ‘Last Shift’ for the Braehead-based pub of that unusual name. However, Eileen and her daughter Danielle had other ideas, and they have been working all hours to breathe new life into this historic pub. “I finished working at The Last Shift about 11 years ago and I always thought, ‘If it becomes available, I’d like to have a go at running it myself.’ So, when it became a possibility last year, me and my daughter sat and spoke about it and said, ‘If we’re going to do this, we’re doing it together.’ Life’s too short you cannae stop and think ‘what if.’ You’ve got to go for it, and so far, it’s been ok.” Reopening as recently as late March this year, it has taken a huge amount of effort to get the pub back up and running and serving its community again. “I was always brought up to know that anything that’s worth having is worth working for. Everything we have done to the pub; we have done ourselves. At times I’ve even been sitting at a sewing machine at 4am
reupholstering the chairs.” “We spent three months of long days and nights getting her all cleaned up, and now she’s open and running with good quality home-cooked food. We’re putting on events too so that the bar is getting busy as well.” As a result, the locals are delighted to see it open and looking so cared for again. “It’s a wee pub in the middle of nowhere that’s run by locals for the locals. There are a few Airbnb’s in the village, one of which is only two doors down from the pub, so they can phone a meal in and one of the waitresses will take it over there for them.” “Most of our customers are from the farming community though, and they like to fall out of their tractors and grab a pint and something to eat at the bar,
28
29
rather than going in the restaurant so that’s why we’re doing a range of bar snacks as well now.” “At the moment we can’t justify being open seven days a week, hopefully we will get to that as it builds because folk will always need to eat and they will always need to have a gathering place and that’s what we are.” That strong commitment to their local community is leading a co-operative approach to the pub’s food procurement process too. “The long-term goal is to source everything locally from our farming community. I want to cut out the middlemen and give the local farmers all of the profit, so they get good market value for their animals.” So, where did the pub’s interesting name originate from?
“We’re only a small venue, but Belhaven has given us as much care and attention as they would to a big 40 keg a week order.” “It’s an old building with a lot of history. It was an undertakers at one time. There also used to be a lot of mining around here and once they had finished their work, the miners would all come to the pub, so it was their ‘last shift’. I think it must be a combination of those two things.” While certainly not complacent, Eileen takes great satisfaction from all that her family has achieved so far. “The thing that I’m most proud of is that my daughter has stepped up and done this with me and my granddaughter helps out too, and together as a family we have got the building looking like it is loved again.” That sense of family is a constant reference point throughout our conversation, and it extends to the Belhaven team too. “Whether she likes it or not, Karen, our SDM is one of us now! I think there was only three weeks from the time we first spoke to Karen to us
making our first order with her.” “Belhaven feels like my wee local brewery. Sometimes with nationwide companies you get different faces all the time. But it’s the continuity that makes the difference with them. If there is ever an issue you don’t feel like you have to explain every detail, Karen just gets it.” With space in their compact bar at a premium, the selection of drinks is another critical factor where Belhaven has been able to offer advice. “Whatever we have behind the bar needs to sell. We’ve got our regulars here who know what they like. But Karen suggested we try Twisted Thistle and it has proved really popular.” Eileen may refer to her establishment as a ‘wee pub’, however, that’s definitely not how she has been made to feel by her drinks supplier. She concluded: “We realise we’re only a small venue, but Belhaven has given
ISSUE NO.24
SEP- OCT 2026
us as much care and attention as they would to a big 40 keg a week order. Our business feels like it really does mean something to them.” Belhaven’s Sales Development Manager Karen has found her move from the telesales team into a field-based sales role a rewarding experience, as she explains: “It’s given me the opportunity to build deeper, face-to-face relationships with customers and to really understand their businesses first-hand. I’ve loved seeing the impact we can make on the ground.” “Working with the owners of The Last Shift has been a highlight they’re a fantastic mother-anddaughter team who are new to the trade but bring so much passion and enthusiasm. Supporting them as they navigate running a pub for the first time has been so rewarding. We’ve built a strong, collaborative relationship and it genuinely feels like we’re working together to make the business a success.”
The long-term goal is to source everything locally from our farming community.”
