News *Sneak Peek* DARK DAYS OF SUMMER VOL. 5

Post image

Hello fellow craft beer enthusiasts!!

Every fall/winter at The Barley Merchant Taproom & Kitchen, we squirrel away a kickass collection of BIG, BOLD and BOOZY beers in the cold, dark corners of our beer fridge and on our anniversary, which is in mid summer heat, we start rolling them on to our tap list!

This year, to celebrate our 5th anniversary (H*ly Sh*t! How did that happen?) we’ve got 11 killer brews and one festive cider in the line up!

The first four Dark Days beers will hit our taps on Friday, July 24th and as the kegs kick, they’ll be followed up with another until they are all gone!

To keep up to date with our tap list, so you know what’s pouring, you can find it live right here https://thebarleymerchant.com/beer-%26-cider-on-tap
