Brewing Beer in NJ

[electrichead]

I figured I would start a thread for all the NJ Beer enthusiasts.

What's your favorite New Jersey Brewery?

Not as many as some states but we have out share.

Cricket Hill
Trap Rock
Flying Fish

Just to name a few
My favorite is River Horse in Lambertville

Flying Fish for sure. Love the "EXIT" series

The Ship Inn, but I haven't been to any others.

I didn't really know there were many/any NJ breweries left. I used to see some huge ones on the way to Newark airport.

Now I see that Flying Fish is from NJ! OMG. That's the beer I've been telling my friends about. I LOVE their Hopfish 60 Minute IPA - it is incredible [but you MUST let it breathe for a few minutes]. I've never had a beer that I would describe as having wine-like complexity, but this does. That's not something I normally look for in beer or even thought I cared about, but I certainly love it in Hopfish.

How are the Trap Rock and Cricket Hill?

Trap Rock is good but IIRC you will have to bring a growler as they do not bottle. They are a full service restaurant and brewery.

Cricket Hill has some great selections and they do weekly or monthly open house nights.

If you ever get a chance to visit a Iron Hill Brew Pub it's worth the trip.
The only one in NJ is in Maple Shade. They are a small chain in the Philly area
