If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty for a good cause (beer is always a good cause) then head over to Barley John’s and help them harvest their hops.

Every year at about this time, the hops we have growing on our patio need to be picked so we can put them to good use.

Monday the 1st, as we welcome our Oktoberfest, we will be picking our hops. Anyone interested is welcome to join us, and for your help, we’ll pour you some free beer as you work.

Stop by any time after 3pm and join in. Our brewer will be on the patio most of the day, picking our Cascade and East Kent Goldings stock hops.

The harvest is destined to dry hop our Winter Ale, which we will be cellaring away until the snow flies. It will be a little taste of summer’s bounty in the throws of winter’s worst.

Oktoberfest beers are in abundance these days and in a few short days you’ll be able to try Barley John’s version.

Our traditionally brewed Oktoberfest Bier is slated for release on Monday the 1st of October.

We are the only brewery in the state of Minnesota that has a German brewing system. That means that our German lagers are brewed like they are in Germany, and we are the only brewery in the state that can do it.

Our Oktoberfest has been lagering for months in our cellar, waiting for the chill of autumn, and the Stein (or Maß)
of our thirsty customers.

While you’re here, enjoy some German food specials!

Oktoberfest Food
Every year our kitchen whips up some amazing German-styled specials for Oktoberfest. Look for Roulanden (a roulade, or pinwheel, of beef stuffed with bacon, onions, pickles and mustard), Grandma’s Baby Back Ribs braised in Sauerkraut, and other specials to celebrate the season.

Town Hall has a new release coming up next week as well as a peak at a couple beers to look forward to in the near future.

Hey All,

Seems like you are a fan of the seasonal lagers….that’s cool because the brewstaff is having a great time making (drinking) them! So you had the Classic American Pilsner, then Saaz Pils (Ya, I really miss that one too) and now M.P.L.S. is on the way. This coming Monday 8/6 Tuesday at 5pm we will release our Minnesota Pale Lager Style! MPLS is a crisp thirst quenching beer that will be a perfect relief for this CRAZY hot weather. This beer is so clean, some of you may question whether it is really a lager….well I assure you it is. We fermented this beer with American lager yeast and hopped it pretty well with Nelson hops from New Zealand……61.2 IBUs to be exact.

You are just about to burn out the Flight of the Falcon (nice work!), this is your next single hopped beer from THB. Come down and drink some MPLS on Monday, pints of this fine Minnesota Lager just $2.50 release day (5-6pm)

Thanks for drinking our lagers! You keep drinking them and we will keep brewing them……..Hopfen Ublich (Double Pilsner) and Oktoberfest are coming.

P.S.- This week we released Crimson Oat (Oatmeal Amber) and our Belgian style Wit beer if you are craving those.

Cheers
Mike
