Our premium wooden hard spiles are made in the UK from top-quality FSC white beech wood. Designed to seal casks after venting, they help keep your ale well-carbonated and fresh, ensuring it tastes just as it should when served.

Used after soft spiles or on their own depending on conditioning, these solid wooden pegs stop CO₂ from escaping, maintaining the perfect condition of your beer.

Why Choose Our White Beech Hard Spiles?

  • Made in the UK from FSC-certified timber – sustainably sourced and responsibly produced.

  • Non-tainting – pure white beech won’t affect the flavour of your ale.

  • Precision fit – 50mm long x 12mm diameter (tapering to 8mm) for a snug, airtight seal in standard cask shives.

  • Eco-friendly – natural, untreated timber with minimal impact on the environment.

How They Work:
Hard spiles are an essential part of any cellar. After venting with a soft spile, a hard spile seals the cask, helping to retain the right carbonation and balance flavour, mouthfeel, and shelf life. Their non-porous design provides a firm, reliable seal without damaging the cask.

Whether for professional use or your own home cask setup, our UK-made hard spiles are a reliable, traditional, and sustainable way to keep your ale in tip-top condition.
