What the f$&* is a firkin, you ask? For those of us who skipped that day of beer school, firkins are small casks, with just over 10 Gallons for liquid. The exciting thing is what these 40 breweries put in their firkins - delicious, unique cask ales. There's only about 70 pints/firkin, and once its gone, these one-off beers are gone forever.
HQ will provide you with a firkin sampler mug for unlimited firkin pours throughout the event. Growlers will be available, so you can bring your favorite firkin home with you after the fest.
Select Breweries will also be bringing some of their rarest bombers from their cellars.
Buffet station upgrade also available and highly encouraged.
