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.

Tap at the Stagshead. Pours hazy gold with white head and citrus nose. Tastes of grapefruit, earth, herbs, grains, leaves, and light toast. Plenty bitter and refreshing. Great summertime pale ale if I had an outdoor space I’d be grilling while sipping on this for sure

My first beer from Barrier! Hazy yellow color, small white head. Sweet fruity yeasty aroma with orange peels and citrus. Medium-bodied. Citrusy, sweetish American-Belgian yeasty-fruity flavor. Lemongrass and hops in the finish. Nice.

On tap. Pours with a clearish bronze-brown body with a lasting off-white head. Aromas are malty, brown sugar, caramel, medium esters, roast and light citrus. Flavors are roasty, bready, malty, caramel, and a light hop character (citrus). Very lively carbonation for the style and a bit on the drier side. Still malt forward with a very light roasted character. Nice mild.
