2007 Events Calendar


Robert Burns Dinner
& Robert Burns Scottish Export Ale Tapping
27 Jan 6:00 PM
$50. SOLD OUT

Join us for our seventh annual Robert Burns Dinner, where we will pipe in a nine pound haggis from the bar to the private Robert Burns Tapping Room.

Once there, we'll be feasting on a four course dinner, three single malt scotches and, of course, a full firkin of Robert Burns Scottish Export Ale.

Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite Burns poetry to recite to all!


Oysters & Stout
Valentines Day Edition
14 Feb 4:00 PM until they're gone
Open to All! Not a ticketed event.

We started this event in 2000 to celebrate leap day. It would be a crime to hold this event only once every four years, so now we do it twice a year, shucking oysters right out of the brewery.

It is a well known fact that oysters and stout are an aphrodisiac when consumed in pair. Bring your lover to feast on the finest Blue Point oysters and stout.

This year, we'll have Saint Joan's Revenge, Guinness, Bell's Expedition Stout &more...


Saint Patrick's Day
17 Mar All Day
Open to All! Not a ticketed event.

Our doors will swing open at noon for those who prefer to celebrate Saint Paddy's Day without being subjected to green beer.

What is now a tradition, we'll offer smoked corned beef and cabbage, smoked on premise with 100% hardwood hickory.

We'll also feature $5 Irish Car Bombs, and Barley's Irish Rogue, an authentic Irish style ale.

Who knows what else? Ya gotta be hear to see... the devil is in the details.


Fifth Annual
Mini Real Ale Fest
28 Apr 2-6 PM
$20.

Our festival continues to grow, thanks to you. This year, we shoot to have fourteen cask-conditioned ales, mostly in firkins.

Check back often to find more details as they develop, possibly including a Brewer's Dinner on Friday night!

Included in your ticket price are seven tasting tickets for real ale and a commemorative pint glass.

Tickets go on sale at Oysters & Stout!


Cinco de Mayo
at the Smokehouse

5 May All Day
Featured Specials all day

Join us at the 'House as we celebrate Cinco de Mayo Barley's style!

We'll be pouring our famous margaritas right out of a firkin, and we even feature a certain brew that comes in a clear bottle with a lime inserted into its neck.

Cinco de Mayo is a great time to enjoy our famous award-winning barbecue, including fresh sliced smoked brisket after 4:00 PM.

(We will also have a brand new ale on tap!).


eXtreme Croquet Tournament
16 June Noon
Registration required

We're hosting our annual eXtreme Croquet Tournament again, and it's more exteme than ever.

We set up a court (or two) in the parking lot and then let the balls and mallets fly!

It's a lot of fun, and all it takes is for you (or your team) to register. Take the challenge solo, or play scramble style with your mates.

More details to follow soon.


Red Wheat & Boom
3 Jul (or the actual date of the show)
No reservations required

We noticed something our first summer here. You can actually see the fireworks from the 'House.

We also noticed cars in traffic to go downtown turned in to get a beer, and then never actually left to go downtown.

We're not saying the view is as good as downtown, but you can see them, and, as it turns out, we've got the beer. Barley's Wheat: the official beer of summer.

We call this party "Red, Wheat & Boom."


The Robert Burns Wake
14 Jul 6PM
Ticket price to be announced

Our Robert Burns Dinner is hard enough to explain, so how do we explain an event commemorating Robert Burns' death?

Suffice it to say it's your chance to celebrate the life of Robert Burns, especially if you keep getting shut out of tickets for our winter Burns Dinner.

Bagpiping, dinner, single malt scotches and year old Robert Burns Scottish Export Ale, as well as Burns poetry is all in store for you when you purchase your ticket.


Microbrew & Barbecue
Month
Entire month of August

Hey, we didn't make it up. Oh, wait. Yes we did.

The way we figure it, you can search all over the country and you just won't find the combination of award-winning craft ales and authentic award-winning pit-style barbecue.

It's summer, and we know you drink beer and grill out all summer long. When you're tired of doing all the work, stop in to Barley's Smokehouse & Brewpub.

It's Microbrew & Barbecue Month, after all.


North Market
Columbus Microbrew Festival
15 Sept 12-7PM
At North Market--pricing TBA

Last September, the North Market played host to the it's first Columbus Microbrew Festival, featuring all local craft brewers.

About 1,000 beer geeks attended (and may have even included you!) as cclose to two dozen beers and ales were sampled--many more than once.

There's only one thing to do, and that's to do it again. We'll furnish you more details as they become available. Cheers!


Oysters & Stout
Autumnal Equinox
21 Sep 4:00 PM until they're gone
Not a ticketed event.

It's the first month with an "ARR" in it after summer, and it's the first day of fall. Don't miss our autumn classic.

What better reason to shuck the first oysters of the season, and tap some damn nice stouts, to boot?

By now you know oysters and stout are an aphrodisiac, so get in here as a prelude to what you do when there's frost on the pumpkin. As always, Barley's and guest stouts will be pouring from the tower.


Halloween Costume Party
31 Oct All Day
No reservations required
Dress to be noticed but not recognized

We've been doing this for a few years now, and its a chance for us to dress like we'd never do the rest of the year.

It's your chance as well. Put on scary or put on funny. Just put it on and get your butt in here.

It's the closest Barley's gets to becoming the Mos Eisley Cantina all year!

Don't confuse this night with the rest of the year... that's just our regulars sitting there!


Holday Feast To Go!
Thanksgiving and Christmas
Advance order required
The Event: your home

When you want to serve the very best, order a Holiday Feast To Go! from us. We can supply you with a whole smoked turkey, pork shoulder or beef brisket.

Or, order an entire feast, including all the sides and trimmings. We'll even throw in a growler of Barley's Christmas Ale!

This is one event you don't want to mess up... the event in your own home.

We do the work... you take the credit!


Gift Certificates from
Barley's Smokehouse
& Brewpub
Thanksgiving thru Christmas Eve

We'll call this a virtual event... our annual gift certificate extravaganza.

Buy $100 in gift certificates from Barley's Smokehouse & Brewpub, and we'll add a $20 gift certificate just for you!

That's not only a great deal, it's our thanks to you. If that's not an event, we don't know what is.

Happy Holidays from everyone at Barley's Smokehouse & Brewpub!


Check back again... we'll be adding pictures from previous years' events.

Cheers!
