Pre-OKTOBERFEST

Barley Hop

What is Barley Hop?

The Barley Hop bar hop is a pre-Oktoberfest event where we run trolley shuttles in a circuit of 6 local bars to taste some of the beers that will be at Oktoberfest in John Ball Park the next weekend.

2010 date to be announced.

How do I get on the Barley Hop Express?

Buy a Barley Hop shirt ($10) at any participating bar and ride the Barley Hop Express shuttle for free. Shirts are available three weeks before the Barley Hop event. The night of Barley Hop, start at any bar you want. Trolleys will run continuously from 7pm to midnight with stops at each bar so you can get on and off as often as you like. There will be about 30 minutes between shuttles. When you hear the sound of the Alpine Cow Bell, it’s time to get on the shuttle.
