Our Beer
What kind of beer would a unicorn drink?
If a donut and a stout had a baby, what would it taste like? Is edible glitter a thing? Those are the kind of questions that come up when we’re crafting our beers. And apparently, we’re not the only ones who think a little outside the barrel. Since we staged our invasion in 2015, our band of misfits has been proudly un-refining taste buds at our Garden City brewery and downtown Boise taproom.
If you like your beer a little more on the classic side, fear not. Our traditional barrel-aged beers and high-quality IPAs are as Old World as it gets. And right now, our 90 oak barrels are aging limited-batch sours, Brettanomyces-forward funky beers, Bourbon barrel stouts, barley wines, and more. Our brutish brewers also craft kettle sours, hazy IPAs, West Coast IPAs, Belgian ales, and dark and malty styles.
On any given day (especially Thor’s days), you’ll find creations that will have you rethinking what a brewery can do. Experimental styles like our Ice Cream Ales, cocktail-inspired beers, and Candy Gose series are anything but primitive.
Most of our beers are available only at our two taprooms, so stop in if you want to taste what happens when Barbarians take over the taps.
Outsiders Welcome!

See Jay William Miller LIVE at Barbarian Brewing in Garden City with all original music! Tonight, Feb 25, from 7-9pm. Free entry. @eatkismet food trailer will be open until 8pm.
Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, Jay William Miller has been singing and playing since he was 17 years old. Influenced by the beauty of the state of Idaho and time spent in the mountains nearby, Jay has adopted a unique singer songwriter style that lives somewhere on the borders of folk, classic country, and indie rock. As a former filmmaker and lover of storytelling, most of his writing focuses on telling the stories of ordinary life, hard moments, and the lifestyle of the American west.
