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.

--Keg at Udda, Stockholm. -- Clear golden, small head. Faint aroma of hay and citrus. Mid sweet with light body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Sourdough and hay. Mid bitter finish. Disappointing.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 19/05/24. Hazed orange with a well presented lasting creamy white cap. Nose is bitter orange, citric tinged straw, grass, pine nip, grapefruit. Taste comprises orange pith, grapefruit, melon, papaya, grass, pine needle. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with balanced juicy come grassy hop bitterness allied to a light boost. Decent enough clean and easy drinking DIPA.

Draft at Only Good Beer, Budapest. Poured almost black in colour with little life. The aroma is roasty malt, chocolate and liqourice. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a smooth, somewhat rich, roasty, chocolate, light coffee, light warm alcohol, light liqourice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation. Well hidden alcohol along with the coffee, which was masked by the sweetness of the beer.

Can. Mildly hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, a modest dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, sweet enough but with a whisper of grain. Hops being light nibbly hop spice, crisp pine and a good juicy tropical fruits and citrus. Light hop spicy finish. A very light and crushable dipa, would be superb if not for that mild grainy element to the malts. If memory serves, and frankly it often lets me down, I don't think this is the first time I have had said something similar about a Barrier beer. Good shit, just not quite Premiership.
