Boise's Firkin Frolic Beerfest is back for another year and we have added more space to make it even bigger and better than before! We are featuring 12 of the best local breweries and will be pouring LIMITED EDITION, ONE-OF-A-KIND firkins along with several other fantastic brews!
WHAT IS A FIRKIN?
A Firkin is a unit of measurement, and also the size of a particular kind of keg for cask conditioning. One quarter of a barrel, 72 pints, 9 imperial gallons…blah, blah, blah.
The bottom line, the brass tacks, the nitty-gritty…or, if you will, the bottom of the glass…it is a specialty beer that is tapped in a unique way. A firkin is a “Real Ale” in that it has not been cold filtered, pasteurized, carbonated, or manipulated by any other processes. You will be drinking a free range, cage free beer, just like those back in the first days of beer drinking. So, essentially a firkin is a time machine to take you back to time when men were men, the west was wild, beards were not manicured, and beer was actually beer.
