The Festival also brings in quality cask ales from across the country and border to border. From California (Green Flash and Lagunitas) to New York (Blue Point) and Maryland (Heavy Seas). From the great breweries here in Michigan to Louisiana (Abita) and places in between such as Utah (Epic) and Colorado (New Belgium). From England, Harviestoun brewery will be represented.

Cask ale is an important part of brewing history and Ashley’s is honored to be keeping this centuries-old way of serving ale in its unfiltered and naturally carbonated (by live yeast) state. When you allow the live yeast to grow and thrive you create a more complex, delicately flavored beer, this is how the brewer master intended the beer to taste.

Roy More, co-owner of Ashley's says “Most venues don’t handle cask ale, or what we call ‘the craft beer of craft beer,’ because the living nature of the beers means they require special handling and serving techniques,” which is why this festival is so important “As the market for craft beer expands, more and more beer lovers are seeking something special, and Ashley’s is committed to providing them with unique taste experiences they can’t find anywhere else.” this is where Ashley's Cask Ale festival shines. They bring a unique product from all over the world to the Westland area.

This year is the first year the festival will take place outside.
