 Magnolia - Magnolia Brewery
Magnolia brewery uses a single-temperature infusion process for mashing, meaning that the temperature of the hot water mixed with the grist at the beginning is solely responsible for the mash temperature and the mash is held at that temperature until completion.
It is becoming more common to use it with bitters and other light ales but, in a brewery with such a cask conditioned ale emphasis we feel it is a bit redundant and the cask method is the more traditional of the two (and our favorite way to drink beer!).
The brewery was designed to be able to condition and serve a large number of cask ales; we are one of the few brewpubs in the U.S. with a dedicated cask cellar (kept at 56 degrees farenheit).

 MPs revolt over pub chain acquisition (Pub-friendly) [The Rockall Times]
Universal agreement within the House was confused however by the arrival of the government whips and several senior ministers, who promptly set about arguing against the main proposals (whatever they were) and threatening to leak backbenchers' sexual profligacy to the press unless they voted with the government.
After two hours of shouting, however, the government front bench realised that the backbenchers were discussing the Firkin brewery chain and not, as they had suspected, the recent firing and behind-stage undermining by senior members of the government of Elizabeth Filkin, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards.
After another hour of shouting, the House then agreed to a select committee to review the brewery industry and passed a motion that no pub within 500 yards of the Houses of Parliament should be able to change its owner or décor without informing the House three months in advance.

The last is available in all Firkin pubs so Kath has to follow the recipe closely, but she has plenty of freedom as regards the other ales.

Now, we've all heard of the Firkin Brewery — those crazy guys who go in for naughty puns and take over your favourite local in order to spice it up with 'fun' gimmicks and modern décor.
In a way, you'd think the Firkin concept could only be more successful in an area like Baker Street — which, for all its resonances of Sherlock Holmes and that slinky song from the eighties, isn't famed for its charming watering holes anyway.
And indeed, the Firkin Beer Company Apollo, sitting on a quiet road off Baker Street, is fairly humming on most weeknights.

Despite giving promises to preserve the chain as it was, they instantly undertook to dismantle it, firstly by losing the real ale, then by re-themeing and renaming most of the pubs, relinquishing the ground to other chains such as Hogshead.
I notice that they are not advertising Real Ale, which if they were to do so would be technically incorrect, as they are using a cask breather system.
