Cask ale as an Intangible Cultural Heritage
There is a petition calling on the Government to recognise the production and serving of traditional British cask ale as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. These are traditions, expressions, knowledge, and skills passed down through generations within communities and groups, recognized as part of their cultural heritage. Examples include oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, and traditional crafts.
If you would like to sign the petition please follow this link https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/716686
