MEET THE STAFF: MIKE

You may know Mike as one of our bartenders.

Based on this photo, however, you probably assume he’s a Disney villain who stole a monkey from a traveling circus.

When asked for a staff photo, Mike somehow found the only picture in existence where he looks like he’s negotiating a business merger between humans and primates.

The scary part? The monkey actually looks more comfortable than most of our customers after Mike starts explaining August Burns Red lyrics.

By day, Mike is a teacher.

By night, Mike serves beer and tells stories that somehow start with, “So there I was...” and end 20 minutes later with absolutely nobody remembering what the original point was.

Fun fact: We can’t confirm whether Mike adopted the monkey or if the monkey adopted Mike. Judging by the matching facial expressions, they’ve clearly been hanging out for a while.

Catch Mike behind the bar this week. If he shows up with any more exotic animals, we’re officially turning Barley into a petting zoo and charging admission. 🐒🍺🍻

We’d like to formally address the video currently circulating of Jeremy making out with a beer can.

First, we’d appreciate everyone respecting his privacy during this exciting new chapter.

Second, before anyone asks, yes... it’s a brewery he just discovered this week.

Jeremy insists their relationship is built on mutual respect, shared interests, and an aggressively hopped IPA portfolio.

Friends and family have expressed concern, but this isn’t the first time he’s fallen head over heels for a new brewery. History suggests he’ll be in love until approximately next Thursday when another beer delivery arrives.

Until then, please refrain from judging. Love comes in many forms.

Some people find it in another person.

Jeremy finds it in a limited release 16-ounce can.

Happy Friday. Come meet Jeremy’s latest crush.

🍻😂💋📦

🚧 BACK DOOR UPDATE 🚧

Before anyone says it: no, we are not making Libby the butt of this joke.

After a rough Thursday last week , we’re happy to report that our back door has made a full recovery and is ready for action once again. Doctors are calling it a miracle. Physical therapy was tough, but it persevered.

TODAY ONLY: the front door is unavailable, so you’ll need to come in through the back door. We know that’s not everyone’s first choice, but sometimes life presents opportunities for growth.

Libby has volunteered to demonstrate proper back door entry techniques in the photo below. We appreciate her bravery and professionalism during this difficult time.

Again, today is the ONLY day you won’t be able to use the front door. Tomorrow we’ll be back to our regularly scheduled entrances.

See you soon. Enter from the rear. Be gentle. 🍻😏

🍷 MONDAY: The Official Support Group for People Who Thought the Weekend Was Longer 🍷

Pictured here: two brave souls doing what needs to be done on a Monday.

One glass in and they’re discussing life goals.
Two glasses in and they’re applying for ownership shares of Barley Market.
Three glasses in and they’re convinced the work week is a social construct.

Luckily, every Monday at Barley Market means $2 off wine by the glass and $8 off bottles, because facing reality at full price seems unnecessary.

Come join us. Therapy is expensive. Wine is on special.

Open 4-10 PM.
🍷 Mondays are for surviving, not thriving.

🚧 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚧

Yes, it looks like a construction zone.

Yes, there are cones.

Yes, there is a wheelbarrow.

No, Barley Market has not been transformed into a Lowe’s training facility.

WE. ARE. OPEN.

The city is hard at work making downtown prettier, but behind the cones, caution tape, and general appearance of a minor archaeological dig, there is still cold beer waiting for you.

Think of it as a quest:

* Dodge a cone.
* Navigate around a wheelbarrow.
* Ignore the overwhelming urge to turn around.
* Reach the promised land.

Your reward? Beer.

If you’ve ever survived IKEA on a Saturday, you can handle this.

Barley Market is open. Follow the signs, ignore the construction apocalypse, and come see us. 🍻🚧😂

🚧 BARLEY MARKET UPDATE 🚧

Due to construction, we’ll be using the back door only today.
We know… usually you at least buy us dinner first.

Open 4PM–10PM.
Come around back, slip in quietly, and try not to make eye contact with the suspicious alley vibes. The beer will be worth it. 🍻

MEET THE “STAFF” — BRANDON

Technically Brandon doesn’t work here.
But every Wednesday he walks in with a microphone, a laptop, and the confidence of a man who absolutely believes “Mr. Brightside” is still a fresh music bingo category.

He runs Music Bingo every Wednesday, which mostly consists of:

* aggressively singing 12 seconds of every song
* explaining rules nobody asked about
* calling people “cheaters” for knowing lyrics
* and somehow turning a 2-hour game into a TED Talk about 2007 radio hits.

This photo was taken during his weekly “very important business operations,” where he appears to be either:

1. building the bingo playlist
2. arguing with Spotify
3. or googling “how to stop people from yelling FREE BIRD during music bingo.”

Not officially staff.
But emotionally? Unfortunately yes.

Catch Brandon every Wednesday for Music Bingo at Barley Market. Bring your music knowledge and your patience.
