Love craft beer? Love rare brews? Then get ready, because La Taberna Lúpulo & Salitre Craft Beer are bringing back a true cask ale experience for the first time since 2017! This #FirkinFriday Valentine’s Edition is all about tradition, flavor, and one seriously smooth stout.
On Friday, February 14, at 4:30 PM, the taps will open, and for a limited time only, beer lovers can enjoy SlyFox Beer’s Softly Falling Darkness Oatmeal Stout straight from the cask. This is real ale, poured the way it was meant to be—unfiltered, unpasteurized, and naturally carbonated.
What is Cask Conditioned Real Ale?
Not all beer is created equal. Cask ale is beer in its purest form, crafted with traditional ingredients and naturally carbonated through secondary fermentation in the cask itself. No forced CO2. No shortcuts. Just rich, complex flavors that evolve with every pour.
This style of serving brings out softer textures, deep malt character, and nuanced aromas that you won’t get from a standard draft pour.
SlyFox Softly Falling Darkness Oatmeal Stout – A Stout Worth Sipping
This oatmeal stout is the perfect Valentine’s Day pour. It’s smooth, rich, and full-bodied, with notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and a touch of sweetness from the oats. The cask-conditioned version will showcase an even softer mouthfeel and more complex malt character compared to its draft counterpart.
💡 Want to compare? The same beer will be on draft, giving you a side-by-side tasting experience to appreciate the differences between cask ale and regular draft beer.
