I just caught the current list of firkins for Friday the Firkinteenth at The Grey Lodge Pub and I am ready to grab a bar stool now. If your not familiar with the event it's a cask ale beer festival that takes place on Friday the 13th. Only the calender determines when the event will happen each year. This year we get a maximum three opportunities (Feb, Mar, Nov) to enjoy real ale. Last year was my first experience and I hope to make two of the three this year. The second FtF in 09 coincidentally takes place during Philly Beer Week. For a great description of the event and a quick video click here. The current draft listing for the event is below

February 2009 Firkinteenth Details
updated as of 11 February 2009
tapping begins at noon.
Number of firkins looks to be 20, which is a little less than usual.
7 firkins will be pouring at any time (except when we get down to less than 7), tapping a new one as one kicks. The order of the casks will be random, but hey there should be no stinkers in the line-up.
