Easily the best brewery in Boise... if not the country. So eclectic, and the quality is second to none. Sours, fruited beers, nitro stouts, Belgians, goses, IPAs, lagers... all their own. 24 beers on tap at all times. Sooooo good. Knowledgeable staff. Great vibe. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed this place. There was a good crowd when we visited, and the IPA that I ordered was pretty good. They had some seasonal beer options that I didn't care for- my friend ordered a peppermint beer that I thought was gross- it tasted like candy canes. It wasn't for me, but he claimed he liked it.

The best brewery in town, they provide a wide assortment of beer, not just a bunch if IPA's. They play with different ingredients such a 200 pounds of honey or peppermint candies. The building is great with indoor and outdoor options and food trucks for the munchies. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their brews.

Barbarian Brewery is a heavenly experience for beer enthusiasts. The Peppermint Bark Golden Ale is a delightful blend of refreshing peppermint and rich ale, creating a unique and satisfying taste. The Morgan beer offers a distinct flavor profile, while the German Chocolate Beer is a sweet indulgence that's hard to resist. The combination of these brews makes Barbarian Brewery a must-visit for those seeking a divine beer journey. Cheers to the heavenly concoctions at Barbarian Brewery!

They never have any light beers that don't have something weird added. They had one seltzer tonight and it was so sour it tasted like lemon juice. Why do all the beers have to have some strange flavor? I've been here five times with big groups and none of us can find one beer we like. :(

They have blankets, BLANKETS! Awesome, very welcoming, great prices. I think this is a hidden gem!

Rotating selection of local brews, plenty of inside and outside seating.

Great brewery. Fast and super friendly service. Nicely decorated. Water station. Clean restrooms. Flights available with 6 beers although you can have a half flight. Lots of beers on tap. Several events and food trucks.

Big fan of their hard seltzer slushies!

Easily the best brewery in Boise. This new location is fantastic. Huge selection of beers. Close to the greenbelt, tons of seating options both inside and outside. The owners are super nice and their dogs are great. My favorite thing is they are always experimenting with new beers and beer types. Tons of options. Must go to when in Boise.
The beer was okay. The service was non-existent... you stand in line to order and carry it to your table. No big deal, but we watched a server see someone spill their beer, pick up the glass, and walk away. No help with even a rag for the people who had been spilled on.

Hands down best brewery in town. I used to frequent the downtown location more, but the GC location has become my new fav. Love the openness, and quick access to greenbelt/river. This location is also dog friendly! In addition to great beer selection they have THE best staff in town. You know the owners treat their staff well when the large majority have been employed for YEARS here. It's a great feeling when you walk into an establishment and the staff greats you by name :) They really do have the most unique beers in town, with an every changing tap list. As a sour lover, you just can't go wrong here. If you are deciding on breweries to try because there are so many in town, this is it!!

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY. We just left Barbarian and had the worst experience we have had at a brewery. We have been frequent customers there and and won't be returning after today. My little family were trying to enjoy our company after I worked a full day at the hospital and I was excited to hang with my family and relax. I have a three year old daughter and 1.5 year old daughter. We found a seat inside today because it's been really hot. We had just sat down we were discussing buying shirts and hats and our littlest yelled at the most 5 times. We were in the process of calming her down when a man came from behind the bar and told us if she yelled again we would be asked to sit outside. We were shocked because we had just got there. We are so disappointed because we really liked this place but our family no longer feels welcomed and I would not consider this a family friendly place. Luckily there are other family friendly places like Mad Swede that we highly recommend.

Hands down, best sours I've EVER had. Love the rotating tap with new flavors regularly. Not only can I sit down with a glass, but I can also take home a can or two...or 12 (dont judge me!) Barbarian Sours and some Wednesday night trivia can't be beat.
