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.

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.

On tap @ The Pony NYC. A glowing cloudy almost yellow golden one with a nice big and lasting dense top. The nose is mild, quite gentle but still manages to be really nice and inviting. Orange zest, blackcurrant, wheat, yeast and citrus. It has a mild gliding oily mouthfeel and a average small bubbled carbonation level. More citrus in the taste, wheat, white pepper, orange zest the dried kind, gooseberries and quite a fair amount of grassy hops. More than I'm used to in my saisons really. Quite complex and refreshing. Yeasty finish with a deep lasting aftertaste. Quite enjoyable. 20.06.2013

Proletariat, NY tap ($7): Pours hazy gold with white head. Aroma is saison yeast, of course, citrus, spice and some hops. Taste is slightly sweet, somewhat funky, plenty spice and just very saisonesque. More hits of citrus and funk than there is of hops. I would not have called this a hoppy saison in my book.

Tap at Hoptron - a surprisingly dry and biscuity ipa for the abv - a slight burtonesque character accentuates the dryness - light bready character late and a whiskey like note from the malt - lingering earthy finish - quite good.
