It can be difficult to find cask-conditioned ales here in the States. Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant in Newark, Delaware is having an event featuring cask-conditioned ales in November. Here’s the press release:

NEWARK, DE – On Saturday, November 17, beginning at 12 noon, Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant, at 147 East Main Street, will host another of its popular Brewers’ Reserve events, featuring extraordinary Cask Conditioned Beers from all six of its locations, plus additional beers from some of the region’s top craft breweries. The event is free, with reserve beers and food sold a la carte and runs through the afternoon and evening, or until the casks run out.

“Cask conditioning refers to beers brewed with traditional ingredients that have not been filtered or pasteurized,” explains head brewer Justin Sproul. “These beers are naturally conditioned and carbonated in their casks. They are served without any carbon dioxide pressure and must be drawn from a hand-pumped beer engine.”

Some of Iron Hill’s Cask Conditioned beers featured at the event will include: Russian Imperial Stout; Wee Heavy Scotch Ale; English style IPA; German Altbier; and West Coast Golden Ale. In addition to these specialty beers, cask-conditioned selections from Stewarts Brewing Company, Flying Fish and other area breweries will also be available.

Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant produces distinctive, full-flavored, handcrafted beers accompanied by inspired yet informal American cuisine in a comfortable, casual atmosphere. All of its exceptional beers are brewed on site and include six regular draughts and one or more rotating specials.

Iron Hill’s six locations are in Newark and Wilmington, DE, Media, West Chester, North Wales and Phoenixville, PA. All six locations are open seven days a week for dinner, lunch and Sunday brunch. Please call for hours of operation: Newark, DE, 302.266.9000; West Chester, PA, 610.738.9600; Media, PA, 610.627.9000; North Wales, PA, 267.708.2000; Phoenixville, PA, 610.983.9333; and Wilmington, DE, 302-658-8200.
