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.

Clear amber, thin head. Smells of sweet malt and boozy warmth. Flavour has rum, brown sugar sweet malt, boozy warmth. Some dried fruit in here too, with a bit of vanilla. The rum is strong in this without ruining it which is a triumph of balance and it still tastes like a quad. Lovely stuff.

Third, tap, sample tray at Mad Squirrel Tap, Watford. Clear yellow-gold body, covering white head, clingy lacing. Moderate citrus smell, scent of grapefruit. Fresh citrus taste joined by dried fruits and grainy malts. Mid-dry, distant bitter endnotes. Quite alright. (Watford 05.11.2022).

(Draught at BrewDog Camden, London, 25 May 2022) Orange colour with brief, off-white head. Fruity nose with strawberries, honey and vanilla. Fruity, tart taste with notes of strawberries, honey, ginger, vanilla and a tart and sweetish finish with low bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty, like a whole dessert. Very nice. (The style should be sour, not stout.)
