Kölsch is at the heart of BarrieHaus Beer Co.’s four-course, German-fare Father’s Day Brunch this weekend (where staff will refill any empty stange glasses for $3.50/pour until you cry uncle), but be on the lookout for the Ybor City brewery’s Bublina Czech-Style Pilsner.

Last month at the World Beer Cup in Las Vegas, the brew took home a gold medal in the Bohemian-Style Pilsner category which included 152 entries (Massachusetts’ Bright Ideas Brewing got second place and Minoh Beer from Japan was third).

“Jim, our Head Brewer, has a talent and passion for crafting beers that are reminiscent of our personal favorite beer memories like drinking lagers by the liter in Biergartens in Munich on our honeymoon,” Brittney Barrie, Co-Founder and Director of Hoperations of BarrieHaus, wrote in a release.

The victory marks the brewery’s second World Beer Cup gold after it took home the top prize in 2022 for its Family Tradition Vienna Lager. There’s a banner unveiling set for Aug. 24, but Father’s Day brunch from Loko Cuisine is a good chance to wet the whistle with the gold medal pils, which is in cans and on tap right now.

What's more is that BarrieHaus, according to the press release, has plans to expand its footprint in the Tampa Bay area with a satellite location opening this fall in South Pasco County's Trinity/Starkey Ranch area. "There will be more details to come this summer on this exciting project!," BarrieHaus wrote.
