Initially launched in early 2020 as a gypsy brewery, they opened their own brewery in Autumn 2020.

Newbarns is a brand-new brewery, but the team behind it certainly know what they’re doing. McKenzie, his partner Emma McIntosh, Jonny Hamilton and Fred Bjerkseth have an impressive array of experience between them from the likes of The Kernel, Siren and Beavertown breweries

Can from Hogs Back brewery shop. Sweet oaty yeasty aroma. Pale urine gold. Thin patchy foamy white head. Medium bitter. Herby. Sour streak, a hint of citrus. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Interesting for a lager but ultimately just seems one dimensional.

Can from Cork & Cask. Clear golden body with a light haze and white head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange peel and pine. Flavour of peppermint and melon. Medium body with an oily texture. Light fizz. It’s not a hop combination I would have thought complemented each other but it comes together nicely here.
