Tall Oaks is situated on 5 acres of land in Farmingdale, NJ. It gives off winery vibes in that it…read morehas a ton of outdoor space with a variety of seating: high top tables, low top, Adirondack chairs around fire pits, a large pavilion next to a small outdoor bar... it's all quite beautiful and peaceful. The taproom, by contrast, is a fraction of the size of the outdoor space, but equally well decorated and chill. Several high top tables, a few seats at a small bar, a view of the brewing tanks... Most importantly the beer is excellent. My girlfriend and I stopped in on an early Friday afternoon in August and had a few 4 and 7 oz pours of different beers. Tall Oaks recently won a few awards in the inaugural New Jersey Brewers Cup, so we tried a few of their award winning beers, among others. My personal two favorites were the Cottage (English Session Ale on nitro) which won bronze in the European amber/dark lager category, and the Influencing Hope (hazy IPA) which won bronze in the hazy IPA category. One nitpicky thing: the tv displayed only part of the menu, and the full menu was printed on several stained and natty sheets of paper on clipboards. Didn't quite match the elegance elsewhere in the brewery. On top of the great vibes and great beer, there is ample parking, two immaculate bathrooms, friendly service and great people at the helm (Mike and Chelsey) who put real thought and pride into their beer and creating a space for the community. This is definitely one of the top breweries in NJ.

It was a family friendly affair, and the grounds allowed the children to play and run around. The pavilion had enough tables to accommodate over 50 adults and all the food. The bar served seasonal beer and cider which the guests totally enjoyed. We did luck out weatherwise; it was sunny and mild for the end of October. If you have an event you are planning, I highly recommend Tall Oaks Brewery.

HOWELL: the newest brewery in Monmouth County is Seven Sons Brewing located right off of Route 9 in…read moreHowell! Brie stopped by and was told she was the 1st dog to visit! We are so happy they allow leashed-dogs at their spacious indoor tasting room! There are 6 beers on tap for your drinking pleasure and all are kosher! As the business grows, we hope they add more options. We really enjoyed the Cops N' Robbers pumpernickel rye Porter and the Belgian darts Belgian blond ale! You can get a pint or flight and if you want something to go, growlers are available! The tasting room is cool and modern with views of the huge brewing tanks and natural light from the big windows. You may bring your own food and snacks are available for purchase. The brewery is located inside the Ideal Plaza shopping center and there are plenty of grassy areas to take a walk. Since this place is so new, they are very good about posting their current hours on Instagram!

My girlfriend and I visited for the first time on a Saturday night in June…read more Pros: --In a strip mall so parking is ample and easy. --Very spacious inside with lots of seating. Great for big groups. --The guy serving beers was incredibly talkative and friendly. Talked with us like we were lifelong regulars. --8 beers and 5 seltzers on tap with nice variety. The beer was good, nothing incredible, but it was good. --Flights are only $10. Definitely on the cheaper end of flight prices from our experience at many NJ breweries. Cons: --It was pretty dead for a Saturday night at 7. Only a few other people were there, and in such a big space, the emptiness kills the vibe. --Interesting choice to play men's college lacrosse and the quarterfinal of the Gold Cup instead of the Yankees on their tv's. -- I looked at their Facebook later and saw they were doing an "open playlist Saturday" for which you get to choose a song with a purchase, though this wasn't shared with us when we were there. Overall we enjoyed it and would come back.

Unfortunately, not the relaxing brewery experience we were expecting. Kids were running around like…read moreit was a playground, kicking soccer balls around the seating area.

Strip mall brewery in downtown Belford, NJ that has been open for over a decade, though it recently…read morechanged ownership and location. The taproom is two rooms with an eclectic mix of yard sale wooden furniture, large communal tables, three seats at the bar, a separate room for darts, a single bathroom in the back, and ample parking both behind and in front of the brewery. Looking at their social media, it looks like a great community spot for trivia nights, dart leagues, open mic nights, etc. An all around great third space to hang out with friends and locals. My girlfriend and I stopped in on a rainy Saturday afternoon in July when there were just three other people there. There were ten beers on tap and we each tried a flight of four, so we got to sample most of the menu. We've been to a lot of breweries, have tried all beer styles under the sun, and we were quite disappointed with the beer here. Most of it was just plain and boring. The Middletown Mild had no taste at all, like carbonated water. The Blue Lobster Orange Wheat had a bitter and overall terrible aftertaste. The best of the bunch was the Lobster Pot, which is a traditional English style nut brown ale, though I had to go online to learn this as they post no information about the beers anywhere in the taproom other than the name and ABV. Overall, Belford Brewing Company is inarguably a nice community space, but if you're looking for the best beer in NJ, you'll have to go elsewhere.

Wild Air makes me think of your Gen X punk uncle, older but still happy bucking trends and sticking it to the man. Lovely corner building seven blocks from the beach. Spacious inside with booths, tables and a long bar, plus an old VW Bus of all things. Lots of open space where they host live music from bands you've never heard of unless you're entrenched in the local music scene. Looking at their set up and their Instagram almost makes it feel like a concert venue that also happens to make beer. Speaking of: there are 14 beers on tap plus one hard seltzer. Most places will go all in on IPAs and pale ales, while this place seems to be the opposite. They only offer two IPAs (a hazy and a double) while the rest of the taplist is made up of pilsners (Italian, west coast, New Zealand, etc.) and lagers (a smoked lager, a Japanese rice lager, etc.). A red ale, a fruited sour ale and a gose with lime round out the list. It's quite an impressive taplist, and everything we tried was good. We live pretty far away and were just visiting Asbury Park for the day, but we would definitely come back if we're ever in the area again.
