Just what is cask ale (a.k.a. real ale)?
Cask ale (or cask-conditioned ale) is
young beer that has been placed in small, metal,
English casks called firkins. In the sealed firkin
the beer undergoes a special conditioning process
whereby the yeast produces soft, natural
carbonation and elegant flavor components before
settling to the bottom of the cask. After a time,
excess carbonation is vented and a serving tap is
hammered into a spout on the cask. The beer is
served without pasteurization or additions of
artificial carbon dioxide or other gas. This is soft, fresh,
living beer the way it was meant to be served!
Attendees
at
the Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting (ACAT) will be amazed
at the complexity and smooth, delicious character
of these special real ales. The beer lineup at
ACAT will include cask versions of classic styles
and many outrageous specialty beers with
exceptional ingredients! Expect
classic UK beer styles, wild ales, hazy IPAs,
fruit beers, wood-aged brews, lagers, stouts,
sour ales, special dry-hops, and MUCH MORE! A
panel of beer judges will conduct a morning blind
judging session and award "best of show" ribbons.
