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.

Bar Great Harry, NY tap ($6): Pours an orange colour with a small head. Aroma is lemon and wheat. Taste is mostly lemony, with a heavy mineral feel throughout. ’Tis rather salty, but not in a bad way. Really light, but full-flavoured. Does have a nice aftertaste.

Location: Draft at Mission Dolores, 9/8/12
Aroma: This one has a nose of caramel, bread, nuts, and toffee
Appearance: It pours a clear dark orange color, coating white head/lace
Flavor: The taste of this one is medium sweet, mostly malt, and has a light spice hop
Palate: The body is light-medium, it has a tingly feel, and a mildly dry finish to it
Overall Impression: This one was a solid amd drinkable ESB with a enough of a hop backing to provide some balance to this malt-heavy beer.

On cask at the stags head. Pours cloudy plum brown with thin head. Aromas of dark fruit and yeast. Tastes of plums, yeast, tobacco, wood, earth, and raisin. Seemed decent but I’d like to try again not on cask as the added carbonation may lift this up

Finally a mild ale rating. Pours brown with almost no head and maybe light malt and toast on nose. Tastes of malt, very light floral hops, toast,and maybe vegetable. Very subdued and a touch soapy. Reminds me of something out of a British pub but not many other warm fuzzy feelings
