PARKER, CO — Barnett & Son Brewing will bring back its popular St. Patrick’s Day celebration for the seventh year on March 17, 18, and 19.
St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Thursday this year, which was all the motivation Barnett & Son needed to host a 3-day celebration to showcase some of their favorite Irish and Scottish-inspired beer styles. Usual suspects Saoirse Irish Red, and Falling Skye Scottish Ale will join a batch of Mo Chroi Irish Black Ale made for holiday, with a green beer on tap for good measure. The long weekend will include daily performances by the Celtic Steps dance group and Centennial’s Reed School of Irish Dance, and live music by Juice O’ The Barley on Friday and Saturday.
Saoirse, Irish for freedom, is a red and malty Irish-style ale with approachable hop bitterness This four-time Denver International Beer Competition (DIBC) winner is one of Barnett & Son’s most popular beers.
Falling Skye Scottish Ale is another winner and returning favorite at the brewery. A rich and malty character from Maris Otter barley malts meet hints of whiskey flavor in this homage to classic Scottish Ales that’s balanced out with Golding hops.
Barnett & Son will be introducing not only some old favorites, but two small batch brews as well, including their Mo Chroi Irish Black Ale. Mo Choi, “my heart” in Gaelic, is a tongue-in-cheek poke at owner Andy’s black heart.
“Irish Black is not an officially recognized beer style, but rather an accident that we wanted to drink,” says brewery Founder Andy Barnett. “Some of the best beers are incepted by mistake.”
Mo Chroi Irish Black Ale gets its color and full body from the unplanned addition of Roast instead of Special Roast malt to a batch of wheat. The final beer struck a balance between deep malt flavor upfront and clean, subtle bitterness on the finish that characterizes many Irish-style ales, so it earned a place in the annual St. Patrick’s Day lineup.
Keep the specialty glass while supplies last, buy a special t-shirt made for the occasion, and come hungry for Irish-inspired eats prepared by three food trucks: The Family Meal will serve on Thursday, Schnitzelwirt on Friday, and Uncle Tapas on Saturday.
