Hops with your pie: pizza, cask ale, & Leesburg

In Leesburg, Va., Fireworks is the pizza-restaurant adjunct to the town's long-established Tuscarora Mill Restaurant.

Like it's older sister, Fireworks features an extended selection of good beers on draft and has a smaller, yet still interesting, list of bottled beers.

In a recent issue of Mid-Atlantic Brewing News, Shawn Malone, the General Manager of both restaurants, announced plans to introduce regular cask ale service to Firework's draft lineup. [Photo was taken at recent Magnolias at the Mill Beer Festival.]

In the meantime, he has invited Clipper City Brewing Company to bring the restaurant its first cask ever: Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale. We'll be tapping it at 6PM sharp, Wednesday, 30 July.
