All I can say about this is, about damned time. I’ve been hounding Firehouse Brewmaster Steve Donohue to create a cask version of his beers. I guess enough of us have bugged the hell out of him that he finally did it. This is also remarkable in that Steve hasn’t done a cask in years (at least for Firehouse) so it’s good to see him putting together a cask ale program. Nothing wrong with force carbonated beers but there’s no substitute for the real deal. Here are the details:
Who: Firehouse Brewery & Grill
What: Cask Ale Night, featuring Firehouse Pale Ale dry-hopped with Citra
Where: 111 South Murphy Avenue. Sunnyvale, CA 94086 map
When: Thursday, August 19, 2010 @ 4pm – cask is done.
Cost: Free to get in, just pay for your beers
Even though I’ve dedicated a post to promote Cask Ale Night at Firehouse, cask ale is not a new phenomenon here in the South Bay. Tied House in Mountain View holds their Firkin Fridays every 1st Friday of the month featuring their cask ale du jour, while Faultline Brewing Company has a cask ale on tap as part of their regular rotation of beers.
If you plan on going to Cask Ale Night, as I plan on going, you should be aware that this is the same night as their Wine & Beer Tasting Event. Strange as this may sound, these are two, separate events. Should make for an interesting night all around.
See you there!
