   About The Firkins
The Firkins? What the hell is a Firkin? Quick answer ... a small cask and/or a Rock n Roll Band Long Answer ... A Firkin is an old English unit of volume. The name is derived from the Middle Dutch word vierdekijn, which means fourth, i.e. a fourth of a full-size barrel. For beer and ale a firkin is equal to 9 Imperial gallons (about 40.915 l) or a quarter of a barrel. Casks in this size (themselves called firkins) are the most common container for cask ale. Why name the band "The Firkins"? - I love Real Ales. What the hell is a Real Ale? An unpasteurised, unfiltered beer which continues to ferment in the vessel from which it is served (‘cask-conditioned’ or ‘bottle-conditioned’). -------------------------------------------
