    The tap room - this place is "hopping!"
    John R.

    A great brewery in the middle of nowhere. Super service and a nice space to enjoy inside. The variety of offerings is larger than expected and the Viking theme of the place is fun too. You are not going to find more than some packaged goods here for food, and I am going to copy my comments on that from a review I did elsewhere... (The only thing I am not sure about for Erik is the tour. Maybe that is no longer a hard requirement?) The more breweries in NJ I visit the more I am starting to understand the unusual challenges they have so don't unfairly compare an experience here to one in a different state. In general, to the best of my knowledge, they cannot serve food, only packaged goods. Why? The lobby effort from restaurants to keep them out of the food business. They need to do tours. Yes, I tease you not and patrons need to take a tour once a year to drink there. That's why the spaces are open, that's the tour. They can only host 25 events a year. Yes, NJ doesn't want event people bringing in too much food. Oh, and they cannot call food trucks onto the property either. Advertise? Well, there are restrictions on that too. What a mess.

    NEWTON: we thank a local attending the Pupstock Festival for letting us know about Angry Erik Brewing! Angry Erik is a family friendly craft brewery with a Viking/Medieval ambiance and leashed dogs are allowed inside! There is a big indoor tasting room with an amazing bar shaped as a dragon ship! There is also a great outdoor patio and plenty of grass! There is an amazing selection of beers, snacks for purchase, and you can bring your own food. Loved spending time with @theycallmeauggiedoggie!

    Solid brewery with some great beers on tap. Have been here twice, once after riding the Paulinskill Rail trail and once after a local apple picking trip was a bust. All beers are really good and I love the fact that they'll can any of the ones you tried and loved to take home while you wait. No food other than snacks, but they have several menus on hand whereby local restaurants will deliver directly to your table. We ordered pizza and it showed up in 30 minutes. I was happy both times I went to see a robust outdoor crowd since COVID has made it hard for any business to stay above water. Praying the colder weather doesn't impact business. Friendly staff and awesome little spot that I'll surely return to.

    Very cool spot! Went to see my favorite local band duo today with my son. This place is great. It's spacious, has a very friendly staff and excellent beers. I had the Golden Latte Stout and the Hop the Fence IPA, both were very very good. They have outdoor and indoor seating and had a Japanese food truck in the parking lot. They have other snacks inside but no meals. They only serve two drinks, beer and water so if you want something else, bring it. You can also bring food. There were several people inside with bags of cheese and crackers and fruit. One table had a whole spread out, maybe it was someone's birthday. Outside there is a fire pit going and plenty of room to sit and chat. I will go back here, it is a really cool spot to have a cold beer and hang out

    Stopped in on a rainy day looking for something to do. Lots of space at the bar and lots of tables. Great beer selection and some bar snacks on the menu. They have great merchandise as well. ( Which we brought some). Great place friendly staff. Will definitely be coming back next time in the area.

    Bottom line: cozy hometown brewery with fair variety of beers (not just 10 hazy IPAs). Gluten line: not even a cider guys? :( come on. Maybe some clarity fern/equivalent to make some gluten reduced at least? Long line: the location is tucked away a bit in what I'm guessing qualifies as an industrial area likely per NJ laws. The space is split into two parts, first a small bar area and then the brewery in the back with benches and some board games. Had a sampler which was fairly priced and hung out in the back. The tour is short and sweet as they should be. I enjoyed all of the beers in my sampler (see pictures). Overall very welcoming and friendly staff. Only wished I lived closer. Will return if in the area.

    Don't make Erik angry. Pretty short tour- under 5 min. Score!

    We've been wanting to come here for some time, finally the time was right, following a nice hike in the area. Located in a small office park it is easily passed by. The quick tour offered by one of the employees was informative, quick, and entertaining. We enjoyed our flight so much we picked up a growler for later. What made this such an enjoyable stop was the other customers who chatted us up. We got some good dinner recommendations. We look forward to our return and finding Angry Eric at our local spots.

    Angry Erik is the northernmost brewery in New Jersey, and it is also the only one in Sussex County. I heard about them when visiting others, and I knew I would have to make it all the way up there in order to say that I will have visited every brewery in the state. It is fun driving to it because the area is hilly, more rural, and so different from the rest of New Jersey. I really had a lot of fun there. The other customers and bartenders were all extremely nice and welcoming. I have to say that an older crowd was there on the day I went, but still friendly. Apparently there will be moving to a newer, larger location soon. The beers tend to be a little non-conventional and have lots of spice to them. The real beer snobs might not be happy, but I enjoyed them myself. The Viking theme is cool. I like how it plays out in the names of the beers and even the tap handles. 4 stars instead of 5 because I did not have the chance to go on a tour. I usually enjoy meeting the owner and getting to learn about how they got started. However, I had exceptional service from the bartender in ordering my flight.

    Cool little brewery, the staff is very friendly. Eric and Heide were very nice, Heide does the brewing. The beers were very good, my favorite was the dark side of the leaf, a pumpkin spice stout. I like the whole viking theme they have going on as well. They are apparently expanding to a bigger location in a year so it will be exciting to see what the future growth will bring.

    Always a good time had here. Good brews and good company. Making new friends with every visit.

    It's a really awesome concept, something that Sussex county (especially the high point region) was missing.

The taproom inside feels cozy, and the two young women working were super sweet about getting us samples and drinks. Get the Endless Summer! It's a light, refreshing beer with the perfect hints of cucumber and watermelon and it is absolute heaven on a hot day. The lime lager was also excellent. We took our drinks and went out to the patio area under the tent where they were doing the pizza vending. There was a nice vibe in the air: a mix of folks and ages, but everyone just chilling and having a fun time. Bugs weren't too bad! The outdoor pizza set up is John's of Arthur Ave, which we have always had as to-go, but wow, they are bringing their A-game here with the outdoor ovens! The pizzas are INSANELY GOOD! Like, Razza-style impressive. We were seriously blown away because it's nothing like what we've had in the past from there. We ordered their white pie with ricotta and the "Bronx Bomber." DAMN. Perfect char and chew on the dough, and while we know that the ricotta on the first pie wasn't homemade, it practically tasted it. The BB pizza was outrageously delicious as well: loved the meat and banana peppers with the hot honey, which we're normally not a fan of, but it was perfect here. Cannot say enough good things about the pizza! Overall, a wonderful visit despite a heated conversation about world events at our table! Four very happy stars and we hope to have just as good of a visit next time, which will hopefully be soon.

    Solid beers; good variety,, chill place, nice outdoorsy vibes with plenty of outdoor seating.read more

Well, I just love this place and if you're looking for somewhere to get a drink and soak in the gorgeous Delaware water gap area look no further! First of all the beer here was really darn good, a cut above most places! But on top of that, if you'd rather have wine, well help yourself! They also do wine flights here! Both a beer and wine were terrific and above average! But the location and the views give it an extra star and bring it to five stars! The experience is not to be missed and exactly what I was looking for after a hard day of hiking and sightseeing in the Delaware water camp. On top of that, they got some really nice food. If you're hungry, their pizza is great! Great bar pies to hit the spot! You could sit inside or outside. If you want to sit inside, I highly recommend making a reservation even for the middle of the afternoon! That's right even for the middle of the afternoon! However, even though the inside was full, we sat out back on the patio and had a blast! However, if you want to eat a meal here, you'll need to get a reservation inside. They serve a limited menu outside however pizza was exactly what I was looking for to go with my beer! Super highly recommended to visit when in the area.

The girl who waited on us was very nice and honest as she gave my gf her brand new Chanel sunglasses she had left on the counter earlier when we were ordering. Thank you!
