The past two months the Next Act off Whyte Avenue has tried its hand at a cask night, making it the second after the monthy Sugar Bowl offering. Apparently the second one was such a hit, the cask ran dry after only 50 minutes.

With such clear success with their first efforts, the owners of Next Act have informed me that they have agreed upon a regular date every month for their cask event. The first Tuesday of every month at 6:00 pm. Those of you unhappy about the early 5:00 start at the Sugar Bowl will be particularly pleased about their choice of start time. Plus, I like that we now have cask events approximately two weeks apart (the Sugar Bowl’s is the third Thursday). Filling in the calendar nicely, if you ask me.

So mark your calendars for January 4, 2011 for the first cask event of the new year! No word yet on the beer.
