Hmmmm.... a firkin of Sly Fox keller pils. That seems unusual. I've seen gravity fed German beers, which I gather is similar (but not the same) as a cask conditioned version, but even then, my recollection is that it's uncommon to see many gravity fed pilsners.
Well, yeah, but...this IS southeastern Pennsylvania, the best place for lagers outside of central Europe. Stoudt's does this too, on occasion. It's not so much cask-conditioned as ungespündet, unfiltered, and run off the barrel. Good stuff.
The boys in Berwick do the gravity keg o' pils (and others) on a semi-regular basis. They call it a stichfass, and it's a real treat to drink from!
