Cask Republic

The Cask Republic brings a Classic American Tavern to New Haven, Connecticut. Featuring 53 draught beers, cask conditioned ales, gravity pin casks, 80 plus bottles and American fare. The Cask Republic is unlike any other beer destination in the Northeast. Our unique approach and appreciation for the craft is evident through the caliber and variety of beer we offer, as well as the care and respect we treat our collection with. Andrew Hoenig, Beer Manager for the company, in addition to providing customers with great tasting beer, offers a wealth of knowledge about the art of beer. Cask Conditioned Ale is beer prior to the modern day introduction of carbon dioxide (CO) as an external pressurizer. It undergoes its secondary fermentation (conditioning) within the cask it is served from, yielding only small amounts of carbonation, which is naturally occurring as a byproduct of the creation of alcohol. While not prevalent in many bars in the United States, it is traditional in the UK, and it is making a resurgence in the US craft beer market as a style that is sought after in fine beer bars and breweries across the country.
