You can’t call it Unfiltered Fridays without tapping our monthly unfiltered fass keg! With spring training is right around the corner, we thought it be best to tap a batch of our Twins Pils in preparation for the 2023 season! Our Twins Pils is a German-style pilsner that boasts a creamy white head and full body. Brewed with traditional German hops and barley, this crisp, refreshing pilsner has light citrus and honey flavors and finishes perfectly balanced and clean.
A what keg?
What’s a Fass keg you might ask? Well, for starters, it’s a keg used for serving unfiltered, naturally carbonated beer taken directly from the fermenter and then put in your glass immediately. Like, the same day.
Our Fass kegs are 30 liters in size, about ten years old, and made of oak. A stainless steel interior prevents the wood from altering the flavor of the final beer.
We have four of ‘em here at Summit, which is truly an embarrassment of riches once you’ve tasted the beer outta these vessels.
Unlike firkins, which allow the beer inside to go through a second fermentation, Fass kegs are not meant for aging or conditioning beer. And unlike casks, which are meant for serving traditional English-style Ales close to room temp and with low CO2, Fass kegs retain CO2 and are a great vessel for continental European-style beers, such as lagers and wheat beers. You’ll spot ‘em fulla Kolsches in Cologne, Germany, and fulla altbiers in Dusseldorf. You may even see ‘em from time to time in Munich come Oktoberfest time. If you get over to those parts ever.
So, come on by the Ratskeller to enjoy another Unfiltered Friday with some Minnesota music and beer!
