  • Brewers Toast the Return of Real Ale - FT.Com Page 1 of 1
    Brewers toast the return of real ale - FT.com Page 1 of 1 FINANCIAL TIMES September 4,20128:10 pm Brewers toast the return of real ale By Christopher Thompson On a weekday evening at the Rake in London's Borough Market the assembled drinkers - a mix of hipsters and suited local businessmen - are not supping Foster's, Stella Artois or any of the other mass market lager brands. Since opening in 2006, the Rake has only sold craft beers, of which it offers 130 different types. Despite typically charging more than £4 for a pint or a bottle, co-owner Richard Dinwoodie, 45, says the pub has registered year-on-year sales growth since it opened. "Our popularity is on the back of the foodie revolution, where people are more interested in taste ... we've also seen big growth in supplying restaurants and hotels, [some of whom] have beer menus and even a beer sommelier," he says. The Rake's success reflects a broader movement of beer drinkers towards cask ale and craft beers as Britain's overall beer market declines. In 2011 total beer sales were £17bn, of which ale accounted for £3.7bn, according to the British Beer and Pub Association. Last month Heineken, the maker of the eponymous lager and Kronenbourg brand, reported a fall in volumes in western Europe, including the UK, in the first half of 2012. It follows a long decline in UK lager sales, which have fallen by more than a fifth over the past five years. In contrast, cask ales sales have declined at less than half that rate, with many companies even registering sales increases.
