The Firkin Brewery is a chain of pubs originating in the United Kingdom.
Established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery it grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. Most of the pubs are owned by Mitchells and Butlers and have been rebranded as either Scream, O'Neills or Goose pubs.
The pubs were distinguishable because they all follow the same naming convention: The ---- and Firkin. The brewery side of the chain has stopped.
The Ferret and Firkin - (Named in full: The Ferret and Firkin in The Balloon up The Creek, references the original name of the pub - The Balloon - and its location Chelsea Creekactually the full name was: The Ferret and Firkin in The Balloon up The Creek, Without Live Music)
