Happy Fourth! Hopefully you’ll be drinking some great craft beer from Minnesota. Here’s some news from Barley John’s… first, a new beer, a Kölsch:

Golden straw color and mildly hopped with German Hallertau, Tettnang and Spalt varieties. A single decoction mashing technique was employed to tame the under modified Pilsner malt used in the recipe, resulting in a malt forward flavor profile. The hallmark of this style is its unique position between an ale and a lager Рfermented cooler than an ale but warmer than a lager thereby creating a beer that exhibits characteristics of both beer families. Crisp and refreshing like a lager yet complex and slightly fruity like an ale, this beer is enjoyed in the traditional straight sided K̦lsch glass.

Secondly, they’ve expanded their kitchen hours so you all can enjoy their great food:

Monday until 9pm

Tuesday-Thursday until 10pm

Friday and Saturday until 11pm

And please don’t show up today, as they’re closed for the 4th of July!
