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.

473ml can. Hazy gold, big frothy white head, very good retention and lacing. Aroma of tropical fruits, grain, sweet malts. Body is medium, quite smooth, soft carbonation. Taste is pineapple, orange, grassy, sweet and malty, a bit of earthy funk. Nice.

Draught@TCBW2023. Pitch black colour, small beigeish brown head. Aroma is caramel, some roasted malts, nuts and a bit chocolaty tones to it. Flavour is is pretty much the same elements as the aroma, but also has some lactose and mild fudgeish tones to it. Really smooth. And nice body for being a lighter Imp stout.
