Winterfest Additions

By on January 16, 2007in general beer

We gave you the list the other day and since that time, we’ve found that Mantorville Brewing is indeed going to be at Winterfest. We also missed another addition, Gluek Brewing Co.

Psst. Among others, O’Hara’s will be bringing I.V.P., an imperial vanilla porter made with English pale and dark specialty malts as well as dark Belgian candi sugar, molasses and, of course, Madagascar vanilla beans.

Yum. Another Sunday Night Supper at Barley John’s. Enjoy.

This Sunday (1/21/07) we will be open for another Sunday Night Supper between 4:00pm and 8:00 pm. Our Sunday Night Suppers incorporate classic homestyle food in a relaxed preset menu format. Supper will include a Waldorf Salad to start and your choice of: Chicken Pot Pie, Stuffed Shells with Vegetables or Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and Vegetables – and of course there will be a Dessert! The regular menu will not be available, but all of our taps will be! A reminder that we are not able to fill growlers on Sundays. Call for details or reservations: 651-636-4670 – $12

While we are on the subject of Dinners – Barley John’s will be featuring a special/romantic Valentines Dinner (2/14/07). The menu is still in the works, but from experience it will be spectacular. Our V-Day dinners are typically 4-5 courses with specific wine or beer pairings with each course – we even dim the lights a little extra for a more intimate setting! We will be sending out an email with the official menu and price within the next week or so. We are now taking reservations: 651-636-4670 for those that don’t need to know the details!

New Fitger’s Beer: Misty Mountain IPA

By on January 15, 2007in brewpubs

Greetings,

Today the Brewhouse will release:
Misty Mountain IPA 7.6%.

Misty is an English style IPA done North Shore style. We use all English malt and hops. The English hops are all low bitterness aroma hops. Fuggle, East Kent Goldings, and Styrian Goldings. The low alpha of these hops require us to use about 5x more then would go into El Nino. The result is a smooth hop flavor with low bitterness, balanced with the alcohol and malt of this strong IPA. We then nitrogenize this ale to increase the smooth creamy texture and flavor even more. Of the 10 IPA’s we brew this is one of our favorites.

Cask this week: Witchtree ESB
