Cask Ale Fest at Brit’s

**This is the same event that had been scheduled for February 28th but was postponed due to weather. If you had already made a reservation, it will be honored.**

Brit’s is bringing you the opportunity to sample cask beers from three Minnesota breweries as well as a cider maker and well-known Colorado brewery along with a hors d’oeuvre buffet.

We’re going to be sampling cask conditioned beers from five different breweries – Surly, Summit, Fulton, New Belgium and Crispin Cider. A number of these brews will be limited additions and you will also get the chance to chat to a brewer/owner/representative from all the breweries.

During the evening you will be able to self-pour each beer, allowing you to sample as often as you like!

Accompanying these fine offerings will be a delicious hors d’oeuvre buffet prepared by our Executive Chef, Mimi Coppock.

This event will sell out quick! Cost is just $40 per person (plus tax and tip). To reserve please email amarson@britspub.com or call 612 332 8011 x 128

IPA Cask at Barley John’s

Since I couldn’t describe it any better, here’s the details on tonight’s cask at Barley John’s, straight from the horse’s brewer’s mouth.

Tonight’s cask offering is going to be a variation of our Stockyard IPA – I kept 5 gallons of the wort last time I brewed and fermented that very special 5 gallons with champagne yeast. Last time I did that, with the Little Barley Bitter, the result was a somewhat Belgian-charactered version of the original: flowery, a little sweet, with fine bubbles and the slight sulfur character characteristic of a good champagne.
