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.
NB - UnBarred moved its keg and can production to a trade-only site on the Garcia Trading Estate in Worthing around March 2026. Address: Unit 6a, Garcia Trading Estate, Canterbury Road, Worthing, BN13 1AL.
Brighton retains active, on-site brewing operations. The space freed up by moving mass production to Worthing allowed them to expand the taproom seating while keeping the original kit to brew experimental, small-batch, and taproom-exclusive beers right in front of visitors.

Can from Bottle Grove. The aroma and taste is full of the stuff listed: hazelnut, vanilla, choco. It just doesn't finish like I want it to, zero bitterness and overly sweet.

Merchant. Keg. Hazy amber beer, good cream colour head. Smooth palate, airy, decent fine carbonation. Soft creamy malt base. Light piney hops, nibbly hop spice. Mild and somewhat ripe citrus. Light dry finish. It's alright but another chapter in the long running 'Kveik - So What?' story.

Can in the sun, 30th May 2020. Pours actually not as hazy as some! Aroma is pine needles, tropical, orange. Taste is orange, very juicy, dry, light soap, pine needles, quite spikey, maybe some Sabro in here, and some dry and bitterness on the finish. Pretty good.
