If you find yourself on the other end of town but craving a firkin fix, check out Stanley’s. They’ll be tapping a firkin of oak-aged Forgotten Flem* from Brau Brothers. Plus, a Brau will, “be there talking smart with answers to everything you wanted to know about Lucan but were afraid to ask.”

*Forgotten Flem is a dry, hoppy, fruity Belgian Saison brewed with rye and 50+ IBUs of hoppy goodness.
