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!
Tater Patch Tuesday at Barbarian Downtown was a memorable one last night!
Luckily, we had some quick thinking people who plugged the door before our entire building flooded.
Tater Patch. Every Tuesday from 7-9pm. Rain or shine. Best bluegrass in town and you’ll only hear them play at Barbarian.

Mark your calendars for another KOLSCH NIGHT!
June 13
5-9pm
Brewery Taproom (Garden City)
We’ll be drinking Barbarian Kolsch all night long!
This event will NOT be ticketed, unlike the April event.
Simply show up, grab a Stange glass of Kolsch from the bar, then grab a seat anywhere in the Taproom or Beer Garden. We`ll bring you a fresh Stange of Kolsch when your current glass is empty and mark your coaster to keep track of your tab.
When you are done drinking Kolsch, you place your coaster on top of your Stange and we stop serving you. Easy Peasy.
@crisp.boise Food Truck will be on-site selling a German inspired menu (see below).
The Taproom and Beer Garden will be open to the public. Therefore, if you don`t want to drink Kolsch you can still come hang out with us, but you`ll have to order your non-Kolsch beers at the bar like normal.
_______________________
@crisp.boise MENU:
Pretzel Sticks $12- Three Soft Pretzel Sticks with Swiss Cheese sauce and Stone Ground Mustard
Schnitzel Sandwich $14- Panko Breaded and Fried Pork Loin, Stone Ground Mustard, Swiss Cheese, Red onion, Greens, Tomato, on Acme Ciabatta
Emantaller Mac $14- Swiss Cheese sauce, Pickled onions, Parsley - Option to add Pork Belly or Brat for $4
German Brat $11- Meridian Meats German Brat, Sauerkraut, Stone Ground Mustard on Roll
___________________________
What is a Kolsch Night?
Inspired by the Kölsch beer and serving method originating in Cologne (Köln), Germany, this low abv, clear German ale with a light golden color is traditionally served in a .2L Stange (tall, skinny glass), and often the only beer available to drink.
How does it work?
-Check in at the bar upon arrival to receive your first Kolsch and drink coaster, then find a seat.
-When your beer is low, we drop off another beer (no ordering necessary) and place another notch on your coaster. This continues until you decide you are done drinking Kolsch or need a break and place your coaster on top of your glass.
-When you are ready to leave, bring your coaster to the bar to check out.
