Sadly, there were some problems getting the cask in time for this Friday's tapping, so we're going to have to postpone it... We're incredibly bummed as, truth be told, this was the cask we had been looking forward to the most - an absolute classic! The good news is that we've been promised that the cask will make it's way to The Beer Temple in the near future. So stay tuned!
