Summer Food and Beer Pairing

Heirloom Harvest 

We love to create unique ingredient combinations in our brews while still keeping our high standards for quality,  consistency, and above all, aggressive flavors. This month's beer and food pairing is no exception. 

  We are pairing our Harvest Wind Wheat to a Balsamic Heirloom tomato salad. 

  Ingredients:

1 lb.  of Heirloom Tomatoes

2  sprigs of basil

1/2 lb of fresh buffalo mozzarella 

2 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar

(We used Kalamazoo Olive Oil Companies, out of Saint Pete, 18 yr oaked aged balsamic)

Wash and chop the tomatoes and basil, cut the mozzarella in quarter size cubes, drizzle the tablespoon of balsamic on, and mix ingredients in a small bowl.

The flavors are so pronounced from the thick oak-aged balsamic mixing in with the sweetness of the tomatoes, balanced by the fattiness of the delicate buffalo mozzarella.

All the flavors, with the basil added, makes for an incredibly fresh and vibrant meal. Our refreshing Harvest Wind Wheat combines notes of fresh wheat, coriander and a slight citrus tinge from the orange peel, which perfectly compliments the salad. 

This pairing makes for a light yet intense flavor-packed summer meal.

Brewtales For the Summertime Soul

As the summer season rears it's hot and muggy head, we remember the days when we would fish by the lake, water ski til our bodies were sore and float in an inner tube without any troubles or a care in the world. 

We wanted to bring back the spirit of the fun summers spent in the woods, going to camps and first adventures.  On July 26th on the patio AKA "The Nest" The Wordier Than Thou Storytelling group will conjure up the spirit of of these first summers for you!  5 unique story's about Florida's myths, legends and lore. 

This is a free event and we will have two draft specials starting at 7pm! 

So grab your pints,  sticks and marshmallows and join us for a night of summer campfire tales.

American Craft Beer Week

As the 2014 American Craft Beer Week approaches and we are underway on our expansion, we wanted to do a few events that were not your typical pint nights or tap takeovers. 

We have  just acquired a "Real Ale" beer engine, and will be serving up delicious real ale casks every week! 

Here is a list of some of our events during American Craft Beer Week:

Tuesday, May 13th : Local Brewery Night @ The Bricks Ybor 7-10PM

We will be featuring one of our brands and talking about our new expansion and brands.

Saturday May 17th : Tassel Twirler Beer Release and Burlesque Show @ Barley Mow Brewing Co.

For one night only, we will be transforming our patio into a private speakeasy featuring a burlesque show. We will be releasing a special brew, Tassel Twirler, brewed with help by one of the shows performers, Nilla Bean! 

The Tassel Twirler is a Belgian-Style Blonde Ale, aged on vanilla beans and raspberries. 

Featuring Nilla Bean, Johanna Xenobia, Ruby Vesper, and Franki Markstone.

Tickets will be very limited, so grab them as soon as they go on sale! Tickets are $20 and will only be available at Barley Mow. Cash only! Tickets are on sale now. Get them while you can! 

We are excited to host these great local artists and show off our darker side. This event is not your normal beer release event and will be sure to sell out quick. 

We will be updating this list throughout the coming days with more events so stay tuned.
