Gotham City Cask Ale Festival

Now, this is a cask ale festival!

It's the Cask Head -- Cask Ale Festival #14 -- at The Brazen Head, in Brooklyn, NYC, organized by Alex Hall. There are nearly 40 casks, with 11 on at any time.

It's taking place yesterday, 22 February, through Sunday, 24 February 2008, so I won't be making it there.

Have a pint (or two, or ...!) for Y.F.G.F.
