| We served 560 pints of Barnbrewed beer at the Pool Room in Lawrence with the help of Steve Mclain and the Jefferson County Green Band , Russian Discussion , The Card Carrying Members , and Hawley . That’s 70 gallons of beer including 20 gallons of Bonfire chocolate porter, 25 gallons of Kansas Gold Ale, and 25 gallons of the double-fermented Berry Pickers Ale. If you want to try a beer, send us an email.
Bonfire chocolate porter starts with a dark roasted barley seed of the highest quality. It’s cooked at just the right temperature to release the sugars that create a chocolate flavor even though no chocolate is added. This beer was by far the most popular of the night, surprising people with its subtle flavors and its heady buzz. Kansas Gold Ale uses 7 different varieties of barley and 4 different kinds of hops. This unique combination leads to a bold flavor for serious ale drinkers. We’ll show you how we make it in a future update. Berry Pickers Ale is a golden ale fermented a second time with a variety of fruits to create an underlying layer of wine within the beer. So far we’ve experimented with raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, blueberry, and peach w/plum. We encourage a strong and deep fermentation to eliminate sugars preventing the beer from getting sweet. The subtle wine flavors peek out from behind the beer to create a uniquely smooth ale like few you’ve encountered. The alcohol content is much higher from the second fermentation.
