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.
