We’ll have our pumpkin ale, Freddie’s Revenge (A Nightmare On Pratt Street) on cask as well as 3 Lions Ale and Harvest Ale on tap. Come along, have a pint and snag a logo pint glass to add to the several dozen you’ve already picked up this week!

the friday question
Friday, October 9th, 2009
As many of you already know, before coming to the States I was a brewer for the Firkin Brewery pub chain. When I started at The Fowl & Firkin in Coventry I brewed 3 different ales 4.3% Fowl, 5% Cockerel Ale and a 5.6% dark ale. The 4.3 and 5% ales were themed to the Firkin pub in which they were served but the 5.6% ale was common throughout the entire pub estate and had its origins in David Bruce’s original Firkin Brewery in London. What I want to know is what was the name of the 5.6% ale. Up for grabs this week is a night out with the brewery!!! We’re doing pint nights at Metropolitan, Federal Hill on Wednesday night and Bertha’s, Fells Point on Thursday night. The winner is invited to come along to whichever of these events he/she chooses and we’ll pick up the tab up to a value of $40. Please submit one answer only via the comment section below and a preference as to which night you’d like to attend should you win. A winner will be announced on Wednesday morning. Good luck.
Have a fun weekend.

What’s happening ….
Monday, July 13th, 2009
We racked the Chelsea Best today (see earlier post for details), firkins are filled and the rest of the brew will condition for a week before being carbonated. I’ve got to say I can’t wait to have my first pint of this one, quickly followed by my second pint of course, after all it is a session beer! Check out the logo for the tap handle, pretty cool, eh?
We’re going to raffle off the 2 tap handles at the post game celebration at the Pratt Street Ale House. Come along, buy a pint of Chelsea Best and you could walk away with one of the most unique souvenirs of this incredible event!
On the Brewer’s Choice handpull now is 3 Lions Ale, a 7.5% strong brown ale. If you’ve tried the regular 3 Lions tap you’ve got to try the cask version. You’ll be amazed by the malt flavors that come to the forefront of this complex beer when served on cask. Writing this is making me thirsty, I’d better go up to the bar and get one …. ah, that’s better, delicious! Keep an eye on the brewery news posts for details of a 3 Lions brewery celebration at the Ale House sometime in late July/early August. We’ll have a Kilderkin of Oak Aged 3 Lions on the beer engine (yep, you read it correctly … a kilderkin… 21.6 gallons, oh yeah) and a few special things going on! More details soon.
Don’t forget, enter the Friday competition …. you never know what you could win!
Cheers
