Description
UnBarred was established in 2014 from the shed of our founder and Head Brewer Jordan Mower. Born of a passion to brew uncompromising and exciting beer, our original flagship IPA won the Bev Robbins Award for the Best Sussex Beer in its first year of production. We soon outgrew the shed and moved onto gypsy brewing, enabling us to grow production and hone our craft, working together with other fabulous breweries.
Since establishing our taproom and brewery in the heart of Brighton in August 2019, we have doubled our production and embraced the Brighton community that we call home. Our core range is stocked nationwide, alongside ltd editions that embody the creativity, passion and freedom that have always defined our core ethos. We love to collaborate with other breweries that share those same values.
We’re inclusive, passionate and adventurous in everything we do, from our beer conception through to our design, brewing and welcoming taproom experience. To celebrate our roots, we love to work with local artists, independent businesses and fellow-creatives to showcase the best of the vibrant culture and boundless innovation of this beautiful city.

Keg at CBJ. Just a light haze on this yellow gold beer, tidy off white head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Very light malts, sweet enough. Soft pine and a little elderflower. Airy finish. Decent summer beer.

Keg at CBJ pre-tasting. Aroma has citrus and onion. Then some sugary sweetness appears. Hazy-opaque darker gils. Thick foamy white head. Flavourwise it's got a 'tight' citrus ans onion core. A vague hint of sweetness, which then gains prominence. Light. Thin. Lively fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent. I can't see casuals liking this, nothing like a Fosters.

Keg at Craft Beer Junction, Bermondsey, 27/05/2026.
Golden blonde with a lasting white head.
Nose is sweet tropical fruits, pineapple, melon.
Taste comprises sweet edged malts, papaya, tangerine, floral notes.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness.
Passable basic pale and running overly sweet for my liking.

440ml can from Middle Farm, Firle and shared in Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a dry, fresh, smooth, melon, mango, stone fruits, mineral, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
