OYSTERS & STOUT: Tax Day Edition It's that time of year again for our annual Oysters & Stout. This year, we'll celebrate on April 15, starting at 4:00 PM. As usual, we'll be shucking oysters out of the brewery and smoke oysters out of the kitchen. We'll also have a nice selection of stouts on tap, including Saint Joan's Revenge that's been maturing in a Woodford Reserve barrel.
It drinks like a barleywine, with notes of vanilla, blackberry and plums. Scott says it will be gently carbonated and we only have less than 50 gallons. Be sure to get here early for what promises to be one of the "high art" beers of the year. And oh yeah, get your taxes in by the 14th so you can be here instead of in front of your computer. See you on Tax Day! 2010 MINI REAL ALE FEST ALERT Yes, we're having the Mini again this year. Yes, we do know the date (May 22). No, we don't know the lineup yet. No, tickets are not on sale yet. Believe it or not, it takes a lot of planning to pull off those four glorious hours of Real Ale nirvana. This year, we thought we'd get you into the action. As you know, we include a souvenier pint glass for you to keep with the purchase of your ticket. In the past seven years, we've come up with seven different glass designs. We'd like to incorporate one of the two elements shown below into our design. If you've attended in the past, you've seen these two. We like 'em both, so we thought you'll decide which one we use. (The rest of the design will be up to us to come up with.) Vote your favorite in the poll to the right. We'll leave this up for a bit, and then start the design work. (Note: if you don't see the poll, you have to allow permicssion for ActiveX to run.)
WE'RE ON FACEBOOK Are we the last place on Earth to join Facebook? It seems like it, but we hope to face you with timely information as you go about your busy day. We'll add photos as we go along--you can even add your own! In the future, we hope to bring you "breaking news" such as when we put a new beer on tap. Right now, we'll at least post our weekly Friday firkin. You'll also be among the first to know when we schdule an event (such as the Mini Real Ale Fest.) If you sign up as a fan, you'll get the feed to your Facebook page in real time. You can also start discussions, post your comments and more. Join us by become a friend of Barley's Smokehouse & Brewpub through the link below.
ANOTHER ROBERT BURNS DINNER SUCCESS!
Our eleventh annual Robert Burns Dinner and Robert Burns Scottish Export Ale Tapping is in the books. As it turned out, there were quite a few Robert Burns Dinner "virgins" in the crowd, though that didn't keep the room from erupting many times over the course of the evening. We started with haggis and we ended with Auld Lang Syne, and everything in between was riotous, including three single malt scotches, a strong Scottish spirt and a hearty lamb shank entree. For those of you who missed it, there's always next year: our twelfth annual Dinner will be around the third Satruday of January in 2011. Cock Up Your Beaver, Johnnie Lad! HAPPY HOUR OFFERINGS Happy Hour is better than ever at the 'House. Happy Hour is from 4-7:00 PM, Monday thru Friday, and we offer $3.25 pints on Barley's ales from the tower (with a few exclusions). We've still got discounted prices on mixed drinks, bottled beer and wine. You can see our daily food features for the entire week here. Pack Up Your Blues. See you at the 'House! THE 'HOUSE IN HI DEF Our installation of HDTVs is complete. We now have nine plasma screens, wide screen projection and HD receivers. What better way to watch a leisurely baseball game this summer than with your mates, drinking Barley's real ale? You're assured of a great view from just about anywhere now. If you haven't seen what we're up to, stop by (and don't forget to buy your ticket to the 6th Annual Mini Real Ale Fest!)
Your Game. Your Beer. Our Place. Game on! That's it until next week. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, write to me. Cheers! |
