Description
Barrier Brewing Co. is the collaborative effort of brewers Evan Klein and Craig Frymark, located in Oceanside, NY. Brewing their first batches on a 1bbl system (2 kegs at a time!) in June 2010, the two expanded the business to a 5bbl brewhouse in June 2012 which operated for four short months before being severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. After several months of rebuilding, Barrier reopened in late-February 2013. The brewery currently produces nearly 50 different beers throughout the year totaling 1500bbl annually, all of which is self-distributed throughout the NY metro area.

Can. Near clear gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light clean pale malts, just mildly sweet, refreshingly free of the creamy sweetness that accompanies most hoppy offerings these days. Crisp pine. Strata hops already a bust imho, good a couple of years back, now hard to pick up, I suspect terroir spread has not been favourable but, maybe it's just cyclical hop intensity. Anyhow, here just a watery passion fruit, pretty mild. Mild floral lime. More crisp cooling pine on the light crisp finish. Good, wants for a lot more hop intensity
