We’ve finally got our hands on a very special cask and are going to tap it on a very special day for our beer community here in Chicago.

We’ve got a cask of Oak Aged Firestone Walker Double Barrel Ale. And we’re fairly sure it’s the first Firestone Walker cask in the city.

We’ll tap it out on the bar at 3pm so anyone coming out of the Cicerone exam that day, that has taken it recently or even those salty dog long-time cicerones can come by, decompress and share your beer war stories. 

Gravity pour until it’s gone. Should be a great night for great beer.

*cicerone exam not required for consumption of cask ale*

JUST TAPPED a fresh 6-barrel of Allagash Brewery’s exotic Hugh Malone.
Hugh Malone Ale’s base includes English two-row malt and pale crystal malts, establishing an understated sweetness. To give Hugh Malone its hop character we use generous portions of Simcoe hops at three points in the brewing process. To begin with, we use a technique referred to as first wort hopping, in which Simcoe is added to the sweet wort as it enters the kettle. When the wort comes to a boil in the kettle we add Warrior hops, adding another layer to the bitterness of the beer. Later in the brewing process we steep a large amount of Simcoe in the whirlpool to impart a distinct hop aroma. Finally, during secondary fermentation in our conditioning tanks, we dry hop the beer, which instills a hoppy aroma with notes of pine and grapefruit. This 8.5 % ABV ale has a malty palate and a pronounced bitterness. It has a pleasant dry, hoppy finish.
