Pucker Up for Lizzie Twister, Y’all!

Blackberry Lizzie Twister We are so excited to bring some funk to cans–finally! If you are a BARn regular, you know we’ve been serving Lizzie Twister Berliner-style wiesse since we turned our original brewery space into a home for some farm-raised funk.  Lizzie Twister is a delicious tart wheat beer, and we have raspberry, blackberry and peach flavored syrups that can be added to the Lizzie Twister as an added flavor shot. Craft beer drinking in the US continues to grow a little each year, and "sour" beers are part of that growth.  We've been serving Lizzie Twister at the…

Who’s Ready to Raise A Ruckus?

“This is the best one yet,” Brian said last week. Brian was talking about our annual Raise A Ruckus Imperial Stout.  This beer is only made once a year, and we’ve only made it three times in the life of our brewery, inspired by a beer we brewed with Michael Wells, a home brewer from Kansas City. That’s why it’s craft beer—because we’re hopefully getting better at our craft every time we work at it. 2019 Raise A Ruckus Imperial Stout went into cans and kegs today. The celebration of this once-a-year, limited release beer begins this weekend at the…

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has a motto: Birth. Movies. Death. If you’ve ever been to an Alamo Drafthouse, you know that it’s not just “going to see a movie”. At Alamo, it's about having a “movie experience”. Leather recliners. Well-behaved guests. Great food and drink served to you while you watch your movie. The Alamo Drafthouse movie experience is awesome! Brian and I were kinda excited about the Alamo Drafthouse that was slated to come to Springfield, MO in 2017. We distinctly remember the time we were vacationing with a very young Andy that wanted to see a new cartoon movie…

German Road is an Oktoberfest Beer, too

Last fall Brian and I decided that in 2018 we would make an Oktoberfest-style beer. We enjoyed three delicious ones that led to our decision—Marshall Brewing Oktoberfest; Sun King Brewing Oktoberfest, and Highland Brewing Clawhammer Oktoberfest.  None of those beers are available in Missouri, but if you are in Oklahoma, Indiana, or North Carolina, get your hands on one of those Oktoberfest beers! So…we drank some delicious Oktoberfest beers, and as it tends to happen when we drink, we decided to brew a beer. The awesome thing about this beer is that while Brian and I made the decision to…
