What's Firkin Going On....

CASK Barrel Project: Chris Prevatt, head brewer of the new beaches brewery ZETA was kind enough to let us house our barrel in his establishment. We transferred all beer, after tasting again, into the barrel on Sunday, February 23rd. We'll taste in a couple of months to see how it is aging

Marshall Crews' beer did not make it into the barrel. Partially because he didn't brew Old Woody, but mainly because he doesn't possess the necessary brewing skill to make it in the barrel. Sorry Marshall!
