I can't wait for the Belgian Christmas Ale and the Drowsy Lads always put on a great show!

One year has zipped by after last year's tapping! Happy Birthday to the awesome brewers and staff at Barley's! Your delicious food, fantastic beer and generous hospitality
is a template for what we do well in Columbus,
I had a great time at last year's tapping with guest tapper Frankie Hejduk, and it's always a good day when I get to chat with the Barley's brewers - Angelo, Gabe and Stephen. If Andyman were still with us, he would be looking forward to this tapping. What better way to honor him, than to come out and make a donation to For the Kids and drink to his memory?
So, was the Behjun Noel inspired by the Belgian-loving thirstychef? Regardless, it sounds delicious, and I can't wait to try it, along with some of that chestnut ice cream. I'm also stoked that the ice cream goddess will be tapping that night. Local + local = awesome. Wonder what her favorite brews are?
The Drowsy Lads were really enjoyable last year as well. I bought a couple of their CD's. They would make great Christmas gifts for the music aficionado on your list.

My love for Belgians and Christmas Ales knows no bounds, but Angelo and the gang are really doing a great job.
There is also some Barleywine aged in a Woodford Reserve Barrel lurking about the brewery as well............

Barley’s is going to auction a few half gallons of Jeni’s/Barley's Christmas Ale Ice Cream to benefit CD101 For The Kids.
Everybody is welcome to try to outbid me.
Alexs-I’m gonna buy you a birthday beer.
patient_zero-thirstychef & I are hoping you can make it, but be careful; you might get over-served...

@OAngle - I can't wait for this beer and ice cream extravaganza! So, what beer would make the best beer float with Jeni's chestnut? Maybe some of that aged Barleywine?
I thoroughly enjoyed the beer float tasting at Hill's Market a few Summer's ago. Maybe we see an appearance at Barley's?

What a blast!
It was a great evening of conversation and meeting people though WE KIND OF HAD TO SHOUT because the place was packed, probably the most crowded I've ever seen it.
(and then the camera battery died)
It was a nice birthday present, and I have a growler of ale in the fridge.

Thank-you for coming Alex. I hope you and patient_zero got a happy bellyfull. Great picture of the boys with the Sacred Mallet and the Leaky Faucet.
We raised $375 for CD101 For The Kids from the Jeni's Christmas Ale ice cream auction alone. We still have a couple hundred gallons of Behjün Nöel, plenty of Christmas Ale (we're brewing more, too) and a few gallons of ice cream, so we are still serving the ice cream for dessert at Barley's to benefit this great cause.

OAngle, I got a belly full of great beer and food, mixed with great music, camaraderie and holiday cheer. It was a beautiful night, thanks to you and the rest of the Barley's staff, who were so friendly and accommodating all night. Chelsea our server was so nice all night, and really took care of our birthday boy alexs. He does so many good things for our local waterways, everything from removing invasive species to educational awareness, so it's a pleasure to see him served and honored on his birthday as he should be.
What a sweetheart Jeni was to make her chestnut ice cream for the kids. Andyman would be warmed by her generosity, as they held a special place in his heart every year. That ice cream was fantastic, by the way, paired with the crispy cake and ginger whipped cream.
The chicken paprikas I ordered off the new Barley's menu was outstanding as well, this coming from a German-Hungarian raised in Cleveland. And ahh yes, pierogies are still on the menu!
The Drowsy Lads sounded as great as ever, and were a perfect addition to an already festive night. They had the front of Barley's chanting and swaying at the end of the evening, something I captured on my cell phone at the last few minutes.
Happy 19th Barley's! Let's plan something big next year, for your 20th, and the city's 200th!

Great Pics PZ thanks for sharing, this was the first year I'd missed the tapping in a long time :-( If I knew Alex was gonna be there I'd have tried harder to make it.
Anywho, looks like you guys had a great time, see you next year for the big 20!

Oh good you got the keg! I wasn't ready to catch that and I probably didn't have enough juice for another flash by then anyway.
The growler is rinsed, I still haven't tried the new ale, and I'm due to go scout river access for boaters at Grandview Ave., oh lookie, right by the smokehouse...
Thanks again for the evening, it was a great time. And yes, the wait staff was hustling. We were seated by the kitchen door, so I could mooch the aromas off whatever came booming through the door on a tray.

Hey Porky! I was looking for you and Michele, and wondered if you headed to some warm islands again. :] We had great seating next to the Signorino Il Numero Uno table, that saw a nice rotation of friends, family, and Barley's staff. Did you know that Jeni met her husband to be at Barley's? Even more reason for her to tap the keg. And considering her attention to her craft is just as strong as the Barley's brewers, it just made sense to see her as a guest tapper.
Viva 20/200!

Alex, I always thought that image looked familiar. That is hilarious.
PZ, your photos do an amazing job of capturing the joy of that party. Given better lighting, your video might give MBeaumont a run for the money. Well done.
Again, the ice cream is stiill being sold at the pub to benefit needy kids.
Thank-you everybody, for supporting local beer!

This was my 2nd Barley's tapping. What a great event!! The beer, chargrilled wings and sauerkraut balls were amazing as usual. I think I preferred the traditional Christmas Ale over the Belgian, but had a great time celebrating the tapping. Oh and the band was awesome too, perfect band for a tapping.
Edit: Just watched the video.. we must of left too early and missed the circle up... Next year we'll have to stay for the long haul.
