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.

Cask at the PoW Farnborough. Aroma is sweet over bitterness with a hint of sourness. Makes me think of blackcurrant and liqourice sweets. Dark cola brown. Strains to be opaque. Thin beige head... a ringof single bubbles. Flavourwise it's bitter - herbal, coffee, liqourice. Sour edge. Light underlying sweetness. Light-medium bodied. Slick to oily. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Nice. Flavourwise not as interesting as the aroma.
