About
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 thanks to Ken. It pours crazy murky yellow - gold with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, green, grassy, weed, very ripe fruits, stone fruits, creamy, juicy and nectarine. The taste is drying, bitter, green, waxy, straw, weedy, chives, straw, minerals, zesty citrus and a bit of over ripe fruits with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Decent stuff.

Bottle from Bison Beers. It pours lightly hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, banana candy, honey, cloves, white bread, cereal, nougat, spice, chamomile and straw. The taste is firmly dry, spicy, peppery, earth, straw, chamomile cereal, light banana, clove, honey, booze, slight medicinal vibe, touch of pear and apple pie with a dry, warming finish. Medium and fine carbonation. Rather interesting stuff, but I’m not quite sure the balance is there. Good fun anyhow.
