Take a firkin break from cooking the turkey

I'll be tapping a firkin cask of Clipper City Brewing's Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale at the Evening Star Cafe in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria, Va. ... on the night before Thanksgiving.

That's a photo of bar manager Evan Labb, who got into the spirit of things last year. And, so, a tradition began.

This year, it will be the 2nd annual 'take a firkin break from cooking the turkey'.

The tapping is set for 6pm, Wednesday, 26 November. The cask was drained quickly last year, so come early. It holds only 84 US pints.
