Barbarian Brewing

Visited July 2017 as part of RBSG. Pretty busy late on a Friday afternoon, but we were able to get some seats and order every single beer they had on the menu, so all was well in the world. Located in a shopping center, small bar but a good amount of table seating and standing room around the tasting room. They have a lot of beers and the quality ranged from pretty bad to very good. Overall, one of the better options, beer-wise, in the Boise area. Worth a stop if you're in Boise.

Visited during RBSG with the group. The place is located in a small strip mall, so there is parking available. At the time of our visit, it seemed sufficient. Inside the place was hoppin. Lots of people in there, but the bar tenders kept up and were pretty happy. I only ordered 2 beers during the visit, but they were both pretty good. Sampled a few others from the other RB guys, and even talked to a few of the locals for a little bit. This place is worth visiting, especially when you consider Meriwether Cider is about 20 yards away. Two great places pretty much right next to each other.

Small space in Garden City, but way better now than when they first opened (seemed like they had 9-10 seats and one table, IIRC). Now there is room to hang out and enjoy some beers without being right on top of one another. Service is friendly and the beer selection is always 12+ taps. Currently no food available, but they do get food trucks from time to time.

A strip mall brewpub that is very local and comfy. Service is at the bar and they were busy so hard to say much about it. Selection was pretty vast and went from horrible to great, so worth a stop as you may get lucky. Wifi and flights available.

This stop on our tour offered a cramped tasting room with a dozen or so tap offerings. All beers were good quality. A relaxed staff despite the throngs of patrons fighting for beers; great service.

Very cool place. Great service despite being very busy. The beers were well above average and this might have been my favorite stop. Very relaxed. Not sure about food. Nice samplers of nearly everything.

In the door at about 4pm on the bus for RBSG17. Busy already with a good sized crowd. Bar staff was friendly and helpful. Beers here were among the best we had from the local breweries. Would have liked to have spent a little more time here, but the other awesome draw this place had going for it, was they’re in the same industrial park as Meriwether cidery, which was our next stop. And you should certainly go there as well. Very much worth a visit.

Small two room with a good good list. Of to the side of the trail room is a big room with couches and a few tables. Good service and beer.

Another small brewery in the GC. They did a nice expansion to open up some much needed seating. The staff is always very nice and on top of things. They always have a nice board up. My only issue is the price is a little high for the location. If they were in downtown boise they could get away with $5 or $6 pints but in the GC I think it’s a little high.
