It's firkin madness at The Porter this week, which sounds great, but then you realize you don't know what a firkin is or why you should care. I'll start by saying that you should care because it means you're drinking a fresh, naturally carbonated, living ale. There's not loss of flavor from filtering (meaning the beer will be cloudy) and they are served room temperature to let all the flavors be more fully released. I assume there's only one firkin of each beer (9 imperial gallons), so they'll probably go fast, which is good because once a gravity drawn firkin is tapped they have very limited shelf life. Here's the schedule. I'm looking forward to the Lenny's.
Tuesday-Bell's 2 Hearted Ale
Wednesday-Allagash Black
Thursday-Lenny's RIPA
Friday-Heavy Seas Hop^3
