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.

Growler, thanks to nimbleprop! Poured a nice golden amber color with a small white head. Aroma was notes of sweet grain, grassy notes. This was pretty refresshing, crisp. Enjoyable.

Location: Draft at Ginger Man (NYC), 8/15/13

Aroma: The nose is full of floral and spice, with some yeast and fruit notes as well
Appearance: It pours a clear reddish orange color lasting beige head and sheeting lace
Flavor: The taste is floral and a little funky up front, with some spice in mid-late palate
Palate: The body is medium-plus, fairly full bodied for a Saison, with a tingly, spicy finish
Overall Impression: This is some interesting stuff. I may not have necessarily put this combo together, but it worked pretty well.

The Growler, NY tap ($7): Pours golden with a white head. Aroma is light hops, with some bready malts. Taste is moderately hoppy, but it is really a mellow and sessionable APA. Ain’t nothing much to it.
