Firkfest Cask List Announced – 2015
Anaheim,CA – Why a cask ale festival? A cask is simply a vessel filled with liquid meant to be served within a day or so once opened. Brewers fill the cask with beer for conditioning and then can treat it like a blank canvas; adding fresh hops, blending beers, adding tea/coffee or other creative adjuncts, or whatever. It’s a one time shot to try something new and fun.
Held on March 21 from noon to 4 at Farmers Park next to the Packing District, FirkFest is all about celebrating cask beer and great chili.
- Unlimited cask pours from 33 California Craft Breweries (Orange County, San Diego, LA and Northern California)
- Chili cook off with 12 local craft beer friendly chefs (listed here)
- Benefits Inspire Artistic Minds
- Small, classy setting with limited ticket availability
Location
Anaheim Farmers Park – 400 S Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim, CA 92805
