Captain Lawrence Saison - CASK!

We have kegs (regular and cask) of Mr. Vaccaro's first ever Saison and we will be tapping the cask this Friday (5/13) at 5pm. The cask has been DRY-HOPPED WITH GOLDINGS & CASCADE HOPS and is truly a one of a kind offering. We only have 5 gallons of this Saison, so get it while it lasts...we will be tapping the regular Saison on our draught tower this week, so check our website, facebook or twitter feeds.

The Return of Johnny Cask - Friday 4/1 6pm

75 Minute IPA is simply a blend of DFH 60 Minute IPA and our 90 Minute IPA.  You can even make your own - just get both beers and blend away!
 
So what's different about the cask version? The cask version of 75 Minute IPA takes the concept to the next level! To create the cask version, DFH retrofitted a 15-bbl tank at the Milton brewery (they've named the tank Johnny Cask) to perfectly produce this blend. The cask-version of 75 Minute gets a special whole-leaf dry-hopping session in this tank, then gets transferred to firkins and dosed with fresh yeast and maple syrup from the ole family homestead (Red Brook Farm in western Mass.).

This is a rare treat.  Don't miss it.
