Menace of Marin Barleywine

A very big & bold barleywine that was produced towards the end of 2009 and has been aging ever since.  This was just tapped and it is tasting spectacular.  Limited time only!

We have started a new tradition at Iron Springs.  Join us every Monday for Luis’ special Fish & Chips – this is Luis’ special recipe which uses the freshest Mahi Mahi battered in our own Kent Lake Kolsch and served with those yummy French fries!  Don’t forget, all the oil used to make this delectable treat then gets filtered and put back into the Ambrewlance as a viable fuel source – a win-win for all!!  Tasty & environmentally beneficial.

GIVE BACK TUESDAY PROGRAM:

In February, we supported some great local causes – Marin Stables, Cascade Canyon School, Marin Agricultural Land Trust, and the San Anselmo Cooperative Nursery School.

In March, we’ll be donating 10% of Tuesday night sales to the YES Foundation., supporting the local Ross Valley School District and funding programs such as music, art, and PE. Especially with the state of the California budget, work that the YES Foundation does is even more critical to our schools.

You can learn more about the YES foundation at www.yestokids.org. Come on out and support the YES Foundation!
