Fuggle is a classic English aroma hop, released in 1875 by Mr Richard Fuggle. [1]
Firkin is an English brewery cask unit, specifically one fourth of a barrel or half a kilderkin. [2]
There used to be a chain of Firkin pubs in the UK, all of which featured Firkin in the name, e.g. Fettler and Firkin, Goose and Firkin, etc. [3]
