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.

Can from BrewDog & Friends. The aroma is soft, sweetish, candy, sweet melon, greengage, tangy tangerine, floury bread, sponge cake. The taste is firmly dry, bitterness which lingers throughout, green fruits, greengage, melon, plum, spicy, grassy, leafy hops, touch of rawness, sweet sponge cake, pithy, zesty, grapefruit and bitter orange with a drying finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. A touch sweeter than I would like tbh. Ok overall.

Can from Middle Farm, near Lewes. Dark brown to black with a large light tan head. Fake and syrupy up front. Roasted coffee beans, vanilla, wafer, toasted hazelnut. Thick, viscous; maybe almost too gloopy but the roastiness holds it together. After a poor start this finishes pretty well. Not sure it'd make me think of Kinder Bueno if it wasn't in the name though.

Draught keg at the Blue Boar as part of the 'From Sussex with Love' beer festival, July 2022. Reddish brown and a bit thin-looking, hazy with a ring of off-white head. Fleshy and spicy aroma. Lots of sweet cooking spice, some fig, some raisin. Sweet taste with clove and fig right at the forefront, with some hoppy bitterness toward the finish. Medium to full body with heavy carbonation. A good beer although it can't compete with the best of the Belgian darks.
