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.
We are UnBarred.

Dark beer thin off white head. Aroma is mostly malt. Flavour is sweet and malty too, a light saltiness, a little chocolate and some hops. Medi7m body. Very drinkable.

1/6/2024. Can at Prague GP beer share. From Eel & Bear, Hastings. Pours close to black with a small frothy beige head. Aroma is strong tonka, waxy, coconut, flowery, roasted, scented candle, touch herbal and spiced. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Medium body, oily, lightly sparkling carbonation.

Keg draught at the Newcastle Tap. Light golden and a little bit cloudy with a frothy white head. Aroma of berries and apricot with an almost spicy malt character. Sweet taste, again very malt led for a British APA, followed by a dominating bitterness toward the finish. Slight almost watery body with soft carbonation. A lot to unpack here, but not the best that Unbarred have to offer.
