Welcome to Barley John's Brew Pub!Barley John's Brew Pub is making beer to distinguish itself from the national brands. Macro breweries concentrate on making vast quantities of beer, we concentrate on making beers full of personality and flavor on a batch by batch basis. |

Seasonal Beer on tap:India Red Ale (IRA) (6.5%abv) - This amalgamation of styles (India Pale ale and Red Ale) was named IRA in hopes of finding a definition to the creation. The hop and strength schedule of this beer owe their allegiance to the IPA while the color and malt profile are contructed from the Red Ale style. A pleasing collision of worlds, this beer has a great hoppy kick with a suitable malt compliment. Nut Brown Ale (5.5%abv) -This American-style Brown Ale was brewed with an emphasis on toasted malts which contribute a “nutiness” to the beer. Hopped entirely with Liberty Hops and fermented with our house yeast strain, this Nut Brown Ale is a medium-bodied and well-balanced ale. Winter Ale (6.6%abv) - We brewed this one a bit late this year - we should almost call it the End of Winter Ale - but we won't. The maltiness of this beer is balanced by the addition of Caraway and Fennel into the aging process. We also incorporate our annual patio hop harvest into this beer - we picked nearly 6lbs this year! Brewed using a German Ale yeast and hopped to balance, this spicy beer is a great way to enjoy whats left of winter. Dark Knight (Vintage 2006) - 13.5%abv :The Dark Knight is a bourbon barrel aged double fermented porter. In this case we brew our standard Old 8 Porter and then feed it more sugar to boost the alcohol content. Once the fermentation is complete the Dark Knight to-be is transferred to Bourbon barrels where it ages from 4-8 months, in this case 7 months. We used barrels from the Rip Van Winkle Distillery which housed their premium bourbon - Pappy Van Winkle - for 20 years. This is a very smooth and mellow bourbon which marries nicely with the dark and complex tones of the double fermented porter. We serve this one in a 5.5oz bourbon glass and it is designed to be a slow and enjoyable brew-apertif. Heavy bourbon nose that fades upon sipping, then the chocolate and malt notes from the porter dominate the middle and a slightly tannic/dry finish to complete the taste. Rosie's Old Ale (14%abv): Winterfest 2007 Winner! While she came in with a lower alcohol percentage than the last incarnation, we still gave her the royal treatment and aged her an extra year in Bourbon Barrels - a fermenting time of 8 months and a total aging time of 2 years. Served in a 6oz Bourbon glass, this beer pushes the envelope of "beer" and harkens more towards a fine Sherry or Port - and is served as such. Intense vinous aromatics with a lusciously sweet background, brilliant clarity and that familiar warming tone from the elevated abv%. Rosie's is truly a beer to experience. |
