Barley John’s a Top Bar of 2009

Congrats to Barley John’s for being recognized by Minnesota Monthly magazine as a Top Bar of 2009 in their September issue! The link to the story is only a partial list so you’ll have to pick up a copy of the magazine itself to find the complete list (or wait a few weeks, when I suspect they may publish the full story on line).

If you haven’t made a visit lately, you may be blown away by their hops. I know I was when I had the chance to stop by earlier this week.
