​Sly Fox has officially declared January 13th "RT. 113 Day" in honor of their IPA. They'll be tapping a firkin at 1:13 PM and 10 oz. pours will be offered at $1.13 a piece.

So "what in the world is a firkin?" you might ask.

A firkin is the size of a particular kind of keg, either wood or metal, used for cask conditioning. It is the equivalent to 1/4 of a barrel, 72 pints, or 9 imperial gallons. 

CO2 is not used to carbonate or push the beer out. Instead, a tube is inserted to enhance the flow of beer using only gravity. This way you get a naturally fermented and carbonated beer in a small batch. 

Many beer enthusiasts swear that firkin beer tastes much better than others. There are entire beer festivals dedicated to it, such as Cask Days in Toronto.
