"Sure, you’ll find some seltzers and ciders and even a fancy mead there every now and then, but BarleyPop is a beer bar, bar none. There are other bars nearby, and beloved ones at that, but when it opened in 2017, BarleyPop quickly established a clean-edged, modern aesthetic, and rolled out a tap program that has grown to nearly 60 lines that turn over regularly (including a growing number of NA options). It’s a great spot for ringing in the weekend of the Great Taste of the Midwest, Madison’s world-class late summer beer festival, for which BarleyPop always brings in something exciting." - Kyle Nabilcy
