Cask-Conditioned Enlightenment
A cask-conditioned beer, often referred to as 'real ale' is brewed from only traditional ingredients and allowed to mature naturally. The unfiltered, unpasteurised beer still contains live yeast, which continues conditioning the beer in the cask. This process creates a gentle, natural CO2 carbonation and allows malt and hop flavors to develop, resulting in a richer tasting beer with more character than standard keg beer. 'Real ale' is always served without any extraneous gas. This is the traditional way of brewing and serving beer; only a few decades ago did filtered, pasteurized, chilled beer served by gas become normal.

Butch Morgan & Dirk Hamilton
Butch Morgan: Never let it be said that Claude "Butch" Morgan isn't passionate about life. His songs are often spiritual in nature, but they're full of fun and carry simple but powerful messages.
Butch Morgan has an ability to take life's simplicity and put a striking message inside in the form of a song, a great example being his "God Drives A Pick-up Truck". Morgan's "Blubberball" attests to all that can go wrong when you don't take care of yourself, and is a song performed entirely with one chord. As Butch says, "It starts off in G, then goes to G for the solos, then we wrap it up in G."
Don't miss this show ... a wonderful character with a humorous rapport onstage. You'll laugh for sure!
Dirk Hamilton: A poet and musician known for his uniquely intelligent lyrics and passionate performance style, Hamilton creates music that can't be pigeon-holed into one genre or another, so indie rock, alt-rock, roots music, americana and folk-rock are often used. For his lyrics and performance style he is most often compared to Dylan, Van Morrison, and John Hiatt.
Dirk Hamilton is a prolific artist who has released a total of 16 albums under various labels, including his own, Acoustic Rock Records. Over the past two decades Dirk has returned to Italy annually to tour as Dirk Hamilton and the Bluesmen, an American/Italian 'cross borders' project, or with his American rock ensemble, The Dirk Hamilton Band.
In more intimate settings the wit and humanity of his music shines through in a way that only solo performances can provide.
Willie B will be performing the opening set for the show this evening.
