Tap a cask with us at each of our brewpub locations every Thursday night. Each week we've got something new and different that our brewers have dreamed up for you to try.
Cask-conditioned beers are ales that undergo secondary fermentation by maturing in small casks (approximately 11 gallons), which gives more developed flavors than draught beer. It is also smoother than kegged beer because it is dispensed without the use of carbon dioxide (CO2). Draught beer is pushed from a keg using CO2, while cask beer is pulled out of the cask and drawn into the glass using a siphon pump device called a beer engine. This is the traditional serving technique found in pubs in the UK.
We tap a new cask every Thursday at 5 p.m.
