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!
American Lite Lager. It’s perfect for crushing beers on the patio.

Thor decided he was lead supervisor today. One eye on @james_the_barbarian pulling weeds and another on the brewery crew. 10/10 good boy all around.
Thor is the Barbarian owners’ (James and Bre) 13 year old Alaskan Malamute. He’s a very small 118lbs. His working hours are 8-3pm on the days he decides to come to work, so you’ll never see him when the taproom is open.

~ MO’ HOPS, MO’ PROBLEMS ~
Hazy IPA with Mosaic, Motueka and Nelson hops and Tropics Booster. Tropics Booster is a plant‑based extract developed by Berkeley Yeast to enhance tropical fruit flavors in beer made with their TROPICS™ yeast strains. It’s designed to amplify notes of guava, passionfruit, and grapefruit, giving beers a more intense, “tropical fruit nirvana” profile. This is a new Mo’ Hops recipe because we can’t get Moutere hops anymore.
