News From Barley John’s

By on January 28, 2012in brewpubs, cask beer

Barley John’s has a full slate of news for you today.

Announcing a Growler Sale in honor of Groundhog Day!

You’ve seen the movie with Bill Murray where he relives the same day over and over again…

Wouldn’t that day be a whole lot better if you had good beer in the fridge – beer that was replenished every day automatically, and for free? We can’t guarantee that’s going to happen, but wouldn’t you kick yourself if it did and you missed out?

Therefore all next week enjoy our Groundhog’s Day Growler Special — Fill up (2) growlers and save $5! (1/30/12 – 2/4/12)

One of our friendly, across the border suppliers, Casanova Liquors, has set the date for their Beer Cave Festival. The fest takes place on April 28th, but it’s March 5th that you need to put on your calendar.
