• A firkin keg is one in which all the carbonation comes from the fermentation that takes occurs in the keg—no CO2 is added.

Tonight, proceeds from pints sold in association with Broken Top Bottle Shop’s First Firkin Friday will go to The Bethlehem Inn, an area shelter. So drink up, friends, and be happy—your money is supporting those in need.

Broken Top Bottle Shop’s generosity is not without precedent. BTBS donates all of its bottles and cans to Bethlehem Inn. The bottles contribute directly to Bethlehem Inn’s program of cleaning, palletizing, and selling them for recycling. Such work engages the folks who seek shelter there while providing much needed revenue for the Inn.

Get down there soon, they just tapped Sierra Nevada’s Imperial Red Ale.
