The astute observer will notice that there is a small room with two doors directly behind the center of the bar. Further observation will reveal that this room contains two stacked rows of brown containers enjoying varying degrees of tilt. These are generally known as 'casks', but in particular are called 'firkins' or 'nines', as they contain 9 Imperial (U.K.) gallons of beer. That converts to a nominal 72 Imperial (U.K., 20 oz.) pints, but in reality there is a certain amount of ullage (waste) reducing the actual number of proper pints to around 65 to 70. As the beer is pumped by hand from a beer engine into your glass, the tilt of the casks will increase.
The Local 180 features a simple pub menu, along with daily specials to provide something warm and filling after that long singletrack ride or that day out fishing on the lake. Our Downtown Uptown location is perfect for a diversion off the busy highway, and is close to Uptown businesses and trails out to the forest.
