Barley John’s Update

By on November 20, 2009in brewpubs

We want first to apologize to all of you who have stopped in in recent times and found the beer you wanted out. We are finally getting caught up with our new tanks fully online and are working to prevent such beer shortages in the future. Our regular taps are back on and we have two new seasonals as well.

Smoked 8 Porter (7.0%)
Our Old 8 Porter recipe with a portion of Smoked Malt substituted. The smoke presence is balanced by the smooth chocolate and coffee overtones and malt sweetness, not an over the top Smoked Porter. Great beer to sit around our fire pit with!

Amber Ale (6.0%)
Amber in color with a strong biscuit malt presence. Hopped with Mt. Hood hops and fermented with our house yeast.
________________________________________
With us being caught up we are announcing some sales:
Thanksgiving Growler Sale (11/20/09 – 11/25/09)
Buy any 2 or more Growler fills and they are 25% off each (does not include barrel aged Rosies)
Bring any of our beers to your Thanksgiving Dinner and share our beers with your table!

New Happy Hour Additions effective 11/20/09

We are busy brewing and will announce more specials and sales this Fall/Winter. Thanks to everyone for a fantastic year and your patience while we expanded. Cheers from Barley John’s!

Town Hall Prints for Sale + Release

By on November 18, 2009in beer events, brewpubs

Hi,

Check out that picture at the top. We had famous local artist Terrence Fogarty at the Blessing of the Maibock this year and this is his finished product. We had a limited 100 of these prints made and are now selling them. The first 25 are at the brewery, so swing in and check out the original in the bar and by your piece of Town Hall history today. There is talk of a series and this is the first……(they are signed and numbered).

Beer release Monday 5-6pm, check out “Alter Ego”. This is the creation of young brewer Adam after discovering this beer style while attending brewing school in Germany. “Alter Ego” is a Stikke Alt beer, this is a special alt made by breweries once a year that is stronger in alcohol and hops. This classic beer will be added to our Thanksgiving holiday pack in place of “ODIN” on Monday….you really hit the Odin harder than I thought you would! So come in Monday and try our “Special Alt” beer and get your holiday growler pack for Turkey day.

If I don’t see you have a great holiday-

Mike
