DOG Street Pub Firkin Festival – Jan. 16, 2016 – beer and food festival featuring cask ale
January 16, 2016
11:30 am – 4:00pm
~ a beer & food festival featuring cask ale ~
The Blues sound flourishes in the roots of music, much like Cask Beer is raw & unfiltered. Taste the beer tapped at the source.
Firkins refer to Cask conditioned ale which means that beer is made unfiltered and without the use of carbon dioxide or nitrogen. It is also called “real ale”. Real ale is a term for the conditioning of the beer but not defining the beer style. While it is true that every beer served will be a cask conditioned beer, there will be many styles represented such as, but not limited to, Porters, IPA’s and Stouts.
We are sure to have many different flavors & styles of beer to appeal to beer lovers and will be listing more involved breweries soon such as newly added Devils Backbone.
This event will feature live blues music on two stages. This year, performers include the Bobby BlackHat Walters Band, Anthony Rosano and The Conqueroos, Billy Joe Trio, Zack Salsberry Music, and Shelly Thiss – lead singer of the Mike Lucci Band
