A lack of carbonation is the issue with the initial lineup at Firkin Brewhouse

The public opening of The Firkin Brewhouse is set for today (Thursday) at 11:30 a.m. They will have seven different beers on tap right out of the gate. I got to pop in for the soft opening Wednesday night to get a sample tray and do a quick review of the beers.

My first impression was all the beers need a fair amount of work, but after talking with head brewer Aaron Walters I got more insight into these first batches. They only had two days to carbonate the beers, so there is a chance the flavors could improve in a while. Like most new breweries, Firkin will have to be revisited to see how they will progress. Also, I did not try the Pomegranate Ale. You only get six beers with a flight, and, well, fruit beers are not exactly something I consider myself to be familiar with, so others will have to try it and let me know.

Also, take note, as of last night they were not on Untappd. Hopefully that changes soon. (Hint, Firkin staff, HINT!
