Real ale is a traditional cask-conditioned ale popular in the time of Founding Father and lexicographer Noah Webster. Undergoing a second fermentation in the cask it will be served from, the entries are always unique and delicious – with complex and satisfying depth. It is beer you won’t find anywhere else!
Each year, a panel of judges determine which brewery will be named Cask Champion and attendees will vote for the Taster’s Choice Winner.
Join us for an exciting day of unique brews and good company at the National Historic Landmark home of American Icon Noah Webster!
The Noah Webster Real Ale Harvest Fest would not exist without the generosity and support of Harvest Fine Wines & Spirits, for whom the museum is eternally grateful!
