What on earth have lightsabers got to do with brewing beer?

What on earth have lightsabers got to do with brewing beer?

It may seem a little excessive, but we check every last cask with what we call our lightsaber. But it’s not from a galaxy far, far away. It’s an ultraviolet light used by our brewing team to inspect our casks for absolute cleanliness. Only when it has passed the lightsaber test is a cask considered worthy of becoming home to 72 pints of freshly brewed Landlord. With a beer as finely balanced in flavour as Taylor’s, coaxed from the purest Pennine spring water, aromatic hops and finest barley, we can’t help being just a little picky.
