It is used in Canada to refer to a drink of beer, often consumed as a casual or lunchtime beverage, playing on the idea that beer is like "solid food" or a meal substitute. People typically say "I'll have a barley sandwich with my burger" or "Time for a couple barley sandwiches." The term originated in Canadian drinking culture, possibly as a lighthearted joke among blue collar or pub goers, but it is not as common as other beer slang like "brew" or "cold one."
