Firkin Fest 2016!

This week, May 16-21, is American Craft Beer Week!  To celebrate, Bayern has crafted a special firkin to be tapped each day during the week. Trying new things is great and Bayern's staff would love for you to join in and give your input on the new beers. By the way, a firkin is a small, hand-filled keg (in this case, very specially prepared and cask-conditioned). Your input could influence a new beer offered by Bayern!
 

Monday- 20 liter firkin of Pilsner dry hopped with Sterling (Sterling is a US hop to replace the German Saaz hop normally used in Pilseners, it has more citrus and spicy notes)

Tuesday-  41 liter English firkin of St. Wilbur Weizen triple-hopped with Mandarina Bavaria hops to give it a more refreshing summer finish.

Wednesday-  41 liter firkin of Helles dry hopped with a Hallertau Blanc - a new bold German variety with floral and fruity, passion fruit, grapefruit, pineapple, grape and lemongrass overtones. (very excited for this one!)

Thursday-  30 liter firkin of Dump Truck hopped with El Dorado, which shows fruity notes, specifically tropical fruit flavors. Other fruit notes offered have been pear, watermelon and stone fruit.

Friday-  30 liter firkin of Dancing Trout double-hopped with Jarrylo. Paired with a crisp, Pilsner malt base, Jarrylo shines with banana, pear, orange, and fruity spice.

Saturday-  20 liter firkin of Amber hopped with Amarillo. 

Also, on Monday, Juergen will be tapping a wooden barrel of Unfiltered Pilsener at the Iron Horse as we help them celebrate their 25th anniversary.
