The Colorado Brewers Guild has announced the member breweries that will participate in “Firkin February”. Kicking off on Feb. 4 and continuing all month long, Colorado craft breweries will release firkins, a cask that is a fourth of a barrel (and looks like a mini keg) to the public. Chaffee County’s own Elevation Beer Company taps its offering “Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout” on Feb. 5.
Breweries are able to put their creativity into their vessels by infusing beer with things such as Philippine coconut, Sour Patch Kids, Ancho Chilies, mango and more. $20 per firkin will be donated to the Colorado Brewers Guild. The breweries that will tap firkins all month long include:
February 4
- Station 26 Brewing Company: Dry-Hopped Helles Lager. Taps at 4:00 p.m.
February 5
- Elevation Beer Co: Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout aged on toasted organic Philippine coconut. Chaffee County’s own!
- Epic Brewing Company: Creamsicle Escape To Colorado, a combination of Epic’s established Escape to Colorado IPA and their next rotating 16oz beer, Creamsicle IPA
- Joyride Brewing Company: Orange Creamsicle version of their award-winning Ice Cutter Kölsch. This beer has notes of citrus fruit and vanilla and will be quite a twist from their flagship. Taps at 4:00 p.m.
- Wibby Brewing: starting Feb. 5 and every Friday in February, Wibby Brewing will be tapping a firkin as part of their Firkin Friday program.
