The Campaign has collaborated with journalist and racial equality campaigner David Jesudason to create a three-part series, Cask Around the World, for its Learn & Discover platform.

In part one, David travels to Brussels to look into the practicalities of serving UK-style beers abroad and how cask is received by both the licensees and their customers at the Belgian bar GIST.

Parts two and three are exclusive to CAMRA members.

In part two, the Dandelion in Philadelphia, US welcomes David to talk about how British cask beer, which is imported by boat, is proving popular with American drinkers.

The final episode goes to South America where David meets the owner of famed Argentinian bar, Notre Dame, which hosts its own cask beer festival – the first and only in Latin America to be supported by CAMRA.

CAMRA’s Learn & Discover manager Alex Metcalfe said: “People will see cask beer in a new light, giving further appreciation to the skill of hard-working publicans that keep ale well-maintained. The articles may even inspire your next spot of beer tourism over the summer holidays.

“I am excited for the future of Learn & Discover and I cannot wait to release all the upcoming content planned for this summer. Cider lovers will be eager to know there will be some excellent material about the fermented beverage very soon.

“Our YouTube channel is also growing from strength to strength, now with more than 1,000 subscribers, so viewers can expect more videos in the future too.

“CAMRA’s Great British Beer Festival returns 1-5 August at Olympia London, as does the interactive Learn & Discover bar, which is an opportunity to meet brewers and cider makers at the flagship event.

“Curious festivalgoers will have the ability to talk to industry experts about the ingredients and methods of crafting their favourite drink. Keep an eye out for upcoming press releases and social media announcements about the very special guests.”

David has featured previously on Learn & Discover with What was the Colour Bar? This revealed the unsavoury history of racial segregation within British pubs. David’s eye-opening article reveals how black and Asian pub-goers were forced to drink in a separate room or refused service completely.

The thought-provoking piece details that even US civil rights leader Malcolm X was declined service in a London pub and puts a spotlight on the hostile reception received by the first pub landlords of colour.

As well as writing for the platform, CAMRA’s upcoming book Desi Pubs by David is released on 17 May. This new title is a celebration of our modern multicultural country. David has travelled the country, visiting desi pubs run by British-Indian landlords who have stamped their unique identity on the institution that is the pub.

David was awarded the British Guild of Beer Writer’s award for best communication about diversity in beer and pubs in 2022.
