Whoa! 5.6%abv ?! I didn't think John brewed anything between his 3.5%abv bitter and 7%+ abv everything else. I guess I'll have to have 3 beers next time I go -- usually it's either 4 bitters or 2 specials. Three beers at Barley John's... hmmm... I don't know what that will be like. Now that they've hit the mid-octane range, maybe they'll do something really wacky, like open up on Sunday. Many a Sunday has passed where I was coming down 35 and got off on County Road D with anticipation of a fine brew and grilled pizza, only to find the parking lot empty and the lights out. Do us a favor and close on Monday instead of Sunday.

Gold color, emphasis on the malt and a complimentary bitterness. Triple Oat Stout (5.6%abv): This beer is named for the usage of three forms of Oats in the mash - Golden Naked Oats, Toasted Flaked Oats and whole malted Oats. This trio makes itself known under a backdrop of stout roastiness. Complimented with a traditional stout tang on the finish to add a refreshing springtime zest. Dark Knight is coming.... The Barrels have been emptied, the kegs have been filled and the Dark Knight is poised to make a return. Look for it on tap this Friday, May 12th... ********************* Cribbage Tournament May 21st at noon. Cribbage tournament #4 will be held at Barley John's Brew Pub on Sunday 21 May at Noon.
