(L-R) BarrieHaus Beer Co.'s Junbae Lee, Jim Barrie and Brittney Barrie outside the brewery's location in Ybor City, Florida.
BarrieHaus Beer Co. opens doors at 9945 Trinity Blvd. next weekend, Oct. 5-6. On tap for the grand opening are BarrieHaus’ award-winning lagers and a new hop-forward West Coast Pilsner—”boasting fresh Strata hops for a crisp refreshing lager beer with notes of tropical fruit and citrus”—brewed especially for the opening.
On Sunday, Oct. 6, BarrieHaus Trinity offers a family-friendly Oktoberfest from noon-8 p.m. featuring live music, märzen and festbier on tap, plus face and pumpkin-painting, stein hoist and more.
Nearby Brick Oven Pizzeria Ristorante and Dang Good Sushi will provide the food.
Co-founder Brittney Barrie told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the Trinity location features an inviting wrap-around 12-person bar, cozy corner and family-friendly indoor biergarten. There are also TVs for the game, and a small sunny patio.
“As a proud neighborhood brewery and community hub, we remain deeply rooted in the area, where Jim grew up. We're excited to extend our welcoming atmosphere, along with our signature easy-drinking lagers and a variety of exciting new events, to the Trinity and South Pasco communities," she added.
Over the summer at the World Beer Cup in Las Vegas, BarrieHaus Beer Co.’s Bublina Czech-Style Pilsner took home a gold medal in the Bohemian-Style Pilsner category which included 152 entries.
Just last week BarrieHaus was named a finalist for Best Hillsborough Brewery in CL’s Best of the Bay competition. The brewery also took home a critics pick award for Best Head.
In her notes, CL contributor Jennifer Ring noted the hardware on BarrieHaus’ award shelf.
“What they haven’t won an award for yet is their commitment to giving great head,” Ring added, alluding to a Czech-manufactured pull faucet that ensures perfect pours.
“Three fingers of dense foam are standard. But if you’re in the mood for something different, BarrieHaus offers five different styles of head, all with varying amounts of foam,” Ring wrote. “Now that’s how to keep your customers satisfied.”
Asked about the head at Trinity, Barrie said, “One can only hope we can meet expectations.”
BarrieHaus Beer Co.’s new Trinity taproom at 9945 Trinity Blvd. will operate 11 a.m.-11 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5 and noon-8 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 6.
