Smaller casks would help. Maybe more expensive to produce, but I wouldn't mind paying more for a decent pint !! And there would be less wastage because of stale beer.
I'm all in favor of clear labeling .
I believe that all cask ale dispense should be clearly marked with the date of first dispense.
When we buy stuff in a supermarket we are able to see best before dates.
I've had too many stale pints of cask ale, it's about time something was done about it.

If the brewers of cask wanted the drinker to have yeast in the glass they wouldn't use finings.
Arguably the main reason the yeast is in cask is to allow for...
Maybe CAMRA should start a campaign to get rid of larger cask sizes. Force the breweries to supply ale in Pins . Of course it would increase the cost of delivery of a pint to the customer , but who amongst us wouldn't be happy to pay more for a decent cask ale. 😉
