Our first and long anticipated attempt at a cider is done and we’re ready for you to try it! We will tap a firkin of our hard-pressed cider on Thursday, February 25 at 6 p.m. in the restaurant and brewpub. Come try it and give us your feedback. If you guys like it, we’ll likely put it on tap.
Starting next month we will start doing a firkin tapping regularly on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Start marking your calendars so you don’t miss them!
Firkin tappings are free for Olde Main Union Members. You can sign up for membership anytime at the brewery. It is just $30 to join and includes tons of discounts, a t-shirt, and free bragging rights of course. Click here for details.

We will tap a honey porter firkin on Thursday, January 21 at 6pm at the restaurant and brewpub. It’s the same porter used in the Reindeer Fuel, but without the chocolate. The porter has been infused with honey and has been aging for weeks, which should give it a unique and different kind of sweetness compared to the chocolate in the Reindeer Fuel.

What’s a firkin you may ask? It’s an old style wooden mini-keg with nine imperial gallons (10.8 US gallons) of delicousity. To tap the firkin we pick one lucky member of the crowd to hammer in the old fashioned tap through a special wooden seal. The firkins are always filled with a one-of-a-kind beer concocted by Olde Main’s brewers. Once it is gone it is lost forever, which could be a few hours or even less.
Check out pictures from the last firkin on our Facebook page.
