Updates from Barley John’s

By on May 28, 2009in brewpubs

Big things happening over at Barley John’s! First of all, for you Rosie’s lovers:

Rosies Old Ale has been transferred and has only to be carbonated before release. Become a fan of our pub (on Facebook) or join our mailing list for an official release date. The barrel samples were fantastic!

Second, the long awaited fermenters have arrived.

The fermenters arrived from our friends at St. Elias Brewing in Soldonta, Alaska. Hand unloaded from the truck to our basement over the Memorial Day weekend – no small task given our size and equipment limitations! Things couldn’t have been smoother thanks to the kind help of Andre, Dan, Jim and Mark.

If you were able to take advantage of the long weekend you may be able to agree with at least one of these statements.
#1 Even though your brain knows this is a shortened work week, it keeps forgetting that today is Tuesday, not Monday.
#2 With the extra time for socializing over the weekend, your stocks of beer are in need of replenishment.
If you agree with both, then write yourself multiple reminders and head over to Flat Earth 3:30 – 6:30 this afternoon to take some of the following home.

Angry Planet Pale Ale
Belgian Pale Ale
Black Helicopter Coffee Stout
Cygnus X-1 Porter
Monkey Business – Coconut infused porter
Northwest Passage IPA
