John Moore and wife Laura Subak founded Barley John’s Brew Pub in 2000. After years of homebrewing, a degree in nutritional sciences from the U of M, John completed coursework from the Siebel Institute of Brewing Sciences. After brewing for the now defunct District Brewing in downtown Minneapolis and James Page Brewing (NE location), John took his passion and experience to the current reality. Along with help from wife and partner Laura and countless friends and family, Barley John’s Brew Pub was born March 14th, 2000.

Our brewhouse is a steam heated 3.9bbl facility from Specific Mechanical. It features a mash tun/boil kettle (left) and a lauter tun/whirlpool combo (right). There is an additional cereal cooker that allows us to brew in the German tradition employing decoction techniques for those recipes that can benefit from it. We brew 2-4 times per week, and brew twice to complete a batch and fill our double sized fermenters. We have 3 primary fermenters and 2 bright tanks in our basement as well as 8 serving tanks that deliver the fresh beer to the taps. We feature 4 flagship recipes as well as up to an additional 4-7 seasonal recipes at any given time.
