Firkin Fridays continues at Steamworks Brewing Co. with the introduction of Peaches and Cream. The cask will be tapped at 3 p.m.

September's firkin is Peaches and Cream. The intention is to have the beer taste like the simple desert of peaches with vanilla ice cream. We'll use our Ale Diablo as a base and add fresh peaches, vanilla beans and milk sugar.

A firkin is an old English unit of volume, typically a wooden cask equal to approximately one-quarter of a regular barrel, or nine gallons. Firkin beer is unpasteurized, unfiltered and naturally carbonated, or conditioned, it its cask. It is served at approximately 55 degrees - cool but not cold, and because it contains no preservatives, it’s designed to be consumed after tapping.

“We’ve got a large following for Firkin Fridays, and it typically grows in the summer. These unique brews are perfect for sampling out on the deck,” said Martin. “Come early to make sure you get a pint. You won’t find it anywhere else.”

Steamworks initiated its Firkin Fridays to introduce unusual, specialty craft beers to patrons, and augment its regular, award-winning offerings.
