Aug. 3rd 2019 MAD FIRKIN FESTIVAL at the Historic Bale Grist Mill

May 21, 2019

Larks.Stones

One of the few operating Grist Mills West of the Mississippi built in 1846 using French Quartzite milling stones. Join Mad Fritz Brewing Co as we offer a fun afternoon tasting beers from some of the best breweries in the country that are small-craft production (<1500 BBLs/YR), 100% family owned (literally Ma and Pa operated), and straight from the cask or Firkin (naturally carbonated and ALIVE!). Many of the picture credits go to Matt Morris.

On August 3rd 2019, there will be up to 15 small family owned breweries offering a variety of styles of ale and lagers from bottles, kegs and Firkins (5 to 10 gallon casks naturally carbonated and hand tapped). We will be offering small bites from various Napa Valley restaurateurs as well as music by some great local talent.
