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.

Can @ The Hoptimist, Manhattan (Jul 2025). Pours hazy bright yellow with a foamy off-white head, faint citrus peel aroma, adequate carbonation, initially sweet then medium bitter mandarin orange-mango taste, thin body, long finish. There is an overwhelming saccarine type of sweetness with this brew.
