Put this on your calendar! Firkin Friday at Deks in Rocky Point will feature a firkin of cask conditioned Oatmeal Stout from Blue Point Brewing Company. The cask will be tapped at 9 p.m. on Friday, September 28, 2007. If you never had cask conditioned ale, now’s your chance. If you love cask conditioned ale already, come on out and join us.Put this on your calendar!

It’s important to come out to Deks on that Friday night because there won’t be any cask conditioned ale on the next night. The cask is for one night and one night only. The reason for this is that keeping the beer more than one night isn’t possible. When the ale is dispensed from the cask, air is allowed into the cask. This air leads to the oxidization of the ale and makes for a less palatable brew the next day. We want you to experience only the freshest cask conditioned ale possible, so all 80 pints have to go that night. If we succeed, then we can look forward to more Firkin Fridays. See you there!
