Description
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 Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a white head that holds well. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of tangerine and minerals. Flavour of grape and mint with a light bitterness on the finish. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. This is bright, refreshing and in great condition. A classy beer from an exciting new brewery.

Can from Westhill. It pours lightly hazy yellow - good with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is piney, earthy, cereal, toasty grains, touch of spice, tropical fruits, pineapple, passion fruit, melon and some gummy bears. The taste is firmly dry, earthy, good hit of bitterness, prickly pine, wood, floral, grass, spice, light tannin, pithy, tropical fruit vibes, pineapple, papaya and guava with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Enjoyable.

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.
