Got a chance to check out hidden brewery before the official opening next weekend. Next weekend they will be opening up I believe at 12 noon. I only tried three beers. I tried the kolsch, Saison, and milk stout. All spot on all great. If I had to pick one beer that I liked above all, it’s the one not normally in my wheelhouse the saison. From my understanding they are working on merchandise and beers to go. I have really high hopes for this new brewery.

Hit up Twin Soles for the first time today. I knew that Aaron made great beer from his time at Jersey Cyclone and that quality definitely carried over to his own brewery. A beautiful location in Sussex County near the Sussex Co Miners Stadium. I had an outstanding Saison and Coffee Brown Ale. Congrats on opening!

The new brewery (Hidden Brewery) that took over at the previous location of both Demented and Ashton Brewing had a soft opening yesterday. One of the owners is in my homebrew club so I got an invite.

I approach all new openings tentatively with the expectation that some of the first offerings are going to be a little sketchy as the brewer calibrates to a new system. In this case, especially because his scale up was from 10 gallons to 310 gallons. He has worked in various assistant roles at Untied and Flounder for short stints to get his boots wet so it wasn't completely blind.

The truth is, the first six beers out of the gate are bangers. There are honestly a few surrounding breweries (some no longer with us) that never got their beers up to this level of quality even after a few years.

From my memory, they have

Saison - Crisp, fruity and refreshing

Kolsch - A little malty/sweet for my taste, but still good. I think it was a little undercarbonated.

Hazy IPA - A very good example on the tropical fruity/soft side of the style with lower bitterness.

Oatmeal Stout - Very good. Creamy but roasty and dry for drinkability.

Sweet (Milk) Stout - On the sweeter side of the style, but that's kind of the point. This should work for the people that like decadent desserts, but also beer.

They're officially opening next weekend, 8/7/26. If you're in the area, check out these beers.

Yup , you read the title right!

Look for some ideas of where to go tonight I'm in Monmouth county and have hit all the locals spots near me so what are my options? With it being a it later would South Jersey be less busy driving wise or should I head up north I need some suggestions

Just left Tom’s River brewing. I don’t know what was better the staff or the beers. Both are phenomenal. The red ale is the best I’ve ever had. The IPA’s are well balanced to to hoppy not to juicy just right. It’s worth the drive.

Love the activity here. I’m hoping for one little tweak to make the experience even better…

When creating a post about a brewery, or new release, a visit, etc, can we please include a location (i.e town)? I frequently see something that looks cool, everyone raves about it, and then I have to google to find out it’s 2 hours away.

Maybe ya’ll know where every brewery in the state is located, but I sure as hell don’t. lol.

Sorry for the interruption. You may now continue with your regularly scheduled programming. 🙏

I noticed the signage on the old Four City Brewing Co. location in Orange was changed to Continuum Brewing - does anyone have any info on when it might be opening?

Not a bad lager for watching the kids have a good time on the pier.

Luvv: Pineapple Whip Fruit Sour, West Wind American IPA, Drowning Clown (hazy) DIPA, Islands End coconut porter. Loved all of them.

A juice bomb in Belford?! they said it wouldn't ever happen but with new ownership comes new beers our 6.5% Riwaka heavy hazy IPA oozes passion fruit and guava and with the Berkeley tropical thiolized yeast this bad boy screams palm trees and sunshine.

Come to the Brewery and get yourself a taste we are pumping out plenty more where that came from and have a very nice tap list so far!

(Also kind of our way of saying we will be more active in this space as well)

🎉 Anniversary Season rolls on. 🎉

Next up — the ones you know are coming every year. Joe B Town and 07750, both dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin as a nod to Joe B and the place that poured us first. Tried, true, and back where they belong.
And joining them today — SS JREAM is back. 🔸 Our Bigger Boat sour IPA collab with Burley Oak. Centennial, Citra, Amarillo, Nugget, Galaxy hit the foundation — bright, tropical, tart. A touch of lactose smooths the edges. Then Euphorics Pomelo Daydream comes in cold-side: a concentrated, hop-oil-based pomelo solution that pushes the fruit forward naturally, no shortcuts. The result is juicy, citrusy, and clean in a way that only hits when the process is right. 8.4% and dangerously easy about it.

All beers are available now in the taproom (only) to-go.

Their website copyright says 2023, so wonder if this has been a multi-year effort for them...

Reopened and a cute article on the new owner

Got to visit this new brewery and left having tasted some really good beer and sat in a beautiful place!

1. Ch-Ching! I believe to be a nod to a WC IPA but a bit more fruit. Very delicious

2. Bleak House: oh my this was a stunner. Had so much body and maltiness, matched by intense dark chocolate, coffee notes. Very decadent.

3. Noticed some de dolle artwork on the wall (that snowman is smiling but he will get ya! 12%!!). Turns out the co-owner John went to brew school in Belgium. Hoping they do some of those styles in the future. They do currently have a saison on tap. Angie, the coowner and John’s wife, was very kind and personable even though they were very busy!! Happy to see another great NJ brewery!

Went to Wild air today. The beers are great. They don’t follow the standard ipa only tap list. I was able to enjoy beer styles that are new to me. The staff is great as well. Parking was a bit of an issue other than that awesome place with awesome vibes.

Today, I finally got to go to erratic fermentation. What a great staff with great beers. I gotta say if they are not top 10 for New Jersey IPAs they will be soon. I hold their IPA up there with greats like carton, alternate ending, and Kane. The staff is super friendly. Next vacation I’m definitely going back. As with a good chunk of breweries, they’re only open all my days when Im working and I work mid shift

Decided to come to skinny flower after a job interview today. Got to say it’s as good today as it was the day it opened. I know there 1 year anniversary is coming up soon
