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 The Permit Room, Oxford. Lightly hazed yellowy-gold with a white head. Pineapple, sweet lemon and a little creamy custard. Couldn't get any hint of pepper though which was a shame. Good balance of sweet and sour with a touch of dryness in the finish. A lovely and rather unusual brew which I thoroughly enjoyed as an aperitif. Unfortunately when I had the remainder of it part way through my curry, it not only clashed badly with the food but somehow activated the spice and set my mouth on fire! Maybe not one to serve in a Indian restaurant then, but that aside a great brew.

440ml can from Middle Farm, Firle. Poured almost black in colour with a mostly lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty, chocolate and coffee. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a silky smooth, rich, roasty, sweet chocolate, nutty, milky, liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
