"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Benjamin Franklin

CASK Challenge

No surprises were to be found at our CASK Challenge on Tueday November 18, 2008 where we compared the kegged and casked versions of the same brews. This is not to say that people didn't enjoy the fine beer it's just that we were definitely preaching to the choir: All cask versions scored higher than their kegged siblings except for the Black Oak Pale Ale which had identical marks for each version. One has to wonder what would have happened in a blind tasting, but that will be another evenings work.

Brewers Charles McLean, Ken Wood (Black Oak), and Bruce Halsted (Durham, C'est What) all talked about the finer details of the "real ale" process. Notes On a Beer Mat author and CASK stalwart Nick Pashley did a fine job filling the spaces between sips with his abundent wit.

Oh, by the way, our Coffee Porter finished first. Although, to be fair, we have to mention that it also finished second last. Go figure...
