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, pastry 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.
