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.

440ml can Sophies Beer Store. Reddish golden amber appearance, frothy white head. Creamy berry shake nose. Taste is smooth, creamy, well-balanced.. moderately sweet some fleeting artificial yazoo flavour moments. Not too sumptuous or full-on, but nicely drinkable and comes across well.

440ml can Sophie's Beer Store. Unclear amber appearance, frothy off-white head that's keen to disperse. Inviting sweet vanilla and lactose on the nose, modest honey. Taste has great integration of vanilla, lactose and honey with honey emerging more on the close. Wasn't sure which way this beer was going to go, but it has great balance of flavours, lovely ice cream character and a nice drinkability. Very good.

440ml can from the Offie, Leicester and drunk at home. Odd pinky-orange colour, hazy with a pinkish beige head. Vanilla, kumquat, some apricot and almond aroma. Taste is sour with underripe citrus peel and more almond notes, some sweetness in the middle before a tart finish. Light, spritzy carbonation. Certainly a decent sour.
