I dont know if they weren't expecting the crowd that they got, but it got very loud to the point you could barely hear the band. Kept getting bumped into by other patrons hanging around our table, hanging on our table, etc. There were only 2 people working the bar with such a crowd that it took almost 20 minutes just to get someone's attention when we wanted to settle up. We wanted to stay longer but it was just way too crowded. I really dont know if I'll go back.

Out front, every table was packed shoulder to shoulder with what appeared to be a local running group in post-run celebration. Laughter, sweat, and IPAs filled the air. Inside, however, it was the crowd was sparse, save for two small groups competing in Harry Potter trivia, an event we hadn't realized was happening. After the first round, one of those tables gave up and left. That should have made the place quieter, but the trivia host's amplifier made sure it did not. Even from the far corner, it was nearly impossible to hold a conversation without shouting. It was as though someone had mistaken the volume knob for a test of strength. The bartender, to his great credit, was friendly and quick, the kind of person who makes you feel like maybe the night will work out after all. The beers themselves were fine. I tried the Pineapple Express milkshake IPA and the porter. Both were serviceable, neither was memorable. The brewery allows outside food, which is a small mercy. Being on Farnsworth, there are plenty of good places to bring something in from. They also sell simple snacks like chips and jerky, a practical touch that suits the space. Still, the whole experience left me puzzled. The place seems to want to be a neighborhood hub, but it can't decide whether to be a quiet refuge or a loud event hall. Empty yet loud, welcoming yet difficult to linger in. I wouldn't drive out of my way to return, but if a friend suggested meeting there, I'd go. I'd just hope the trivia host had the night off.

My girlfriend and I visited for the first time on a Saturday around 4 and it was pretty dead inside - just one other table was taken up. It did start to fill up later on. There is an upstairs area that can be used for private parties, and an outdoor area, though we didn't experience this area since it was January and 30° outside. Their menu is impressive - beers are divided into categories of light, Belgian, dark/malty, tart/sour, etc, and each beer has a detailed description next to it. This can be extremely helpful for people who may not know much about beer to find something they like. The beer we had was very good. They also have many of their beers canned and available for purchase to bring home. Overall a nice place, one we would probably visit more often if we didn't live an hour away!

This means there is plenty of parking. The brewery is located in a building next to the farm house. Very spacious inside with plenty of seating at the bar and other tables. Lots of games available including a foosball table. Only one bathroom. Nine beers on tap plus a hard iced tea. My girlfriend and I each had a flight and were able to sample just about the whole menu. $10 for a flight of four 5oz pours which is definitely the cheapest flight I've seen at a NJ brewery. The peanut butter stout, watermelon wheat and not so pale ale were all excellent. The peanut butter stout had a very subtle peanut butter flavor with a nice bitter aftertaste. None of that cloying sweetness found in some dessert stouts. The watermelon wheat also had a great, balanced watermelon flavor, and the not so pale ale had a nice nutty taste to it like an English brown ale. I really disliked the New Egypt hazy IPA as it tasted way too watered down and nothing like other hazy IPA's I've had. All beers - flights and full pours alike - were served in plastic cups which is a huge pet peeve of mine in breweries. The gentleman serving beer was incredibly friendly and I enjoyed briefly talking football with him (and I'll let it slide that he's a Giants fan). Overall it was a very pleasant afternoon - good beer, good conversation, the sound of the rain drumming on the roof. We will definitely come back someday.

Leashed and friendly dogs are typically allowed outside on their patio facing the main downtown area, but when it is quiet, you can check to see if you can bring your dog inside. As you may know, New Jersey was the 3rd state to join the United States, so they have a perfect name in the very historical town of Burlington. A warm and inviting space, the indoor tasting room has bar seating and tables with games and a TV to watch the game. The outside has a few tables and you can people-watch with a great beer in hand. We enjoyed a delicious flight that included Pumpkin Pail, Burlington Island Wheat, Stinger hard seltzer, and Less Vulnerable Eric lager. They also have a non-alcoholic option. You can bring your own food too.

Small taproom right in downtown historic Burlington which is a lovely small town Main Street right by the Delaware River. Always lovely atmosphere inside. Co-owner and head brewer Billy always makes the time to come over to say hi and is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Small tap list. There were nine beers on tap during our most recent visit on a Saturday in April. But always a great amount of variety and well crafted, interesting beers. They have some beers available in cans and certain special releases in bottles. I think they particularly excel in stouts. When we were there they had two imperial stouts that were out of this world. They do an all stouts weekend every November so if stouts are your thing definitely keep an eye out for that.

I haven't been to this site since it was Dublin Square which was a long time ago. Some of the layout changed. They no longer have the old bar separated from the dining area. Callie was our server and did a great job. I was there with some friends from SC. We started by ordering the large pretzel which comes out on a pretzel hanger along with some beer cheese for dipping. They also use that hanger for bacon. The pretzel was enough for 4 of us. I ordered the wings and selected Nashville Hot and Hog Sauce as my flavors. They claim they sell by the pound ($15.50) but it ends up being 8 wings. If you want to split flavors, they make it dry and bring the sauce on the side for dipping. Luckily the Nashville Hot is a dry rub. It was very good and not too spicy. The Hog Sauce is a combo of Buffalo and Garlic which was excellent. The wings themselves were plump, juicy and crispy. Five stars. Plenty of parking. Some tables available outside for outdoor seating when it ever gets nice in NJ. Bathrooms were very clean. You may find some little pink pigs around. Not sure if they're complimentary, but my wife took the one that was next to our table. My only complaint is they have too many of their draft beers designated for only 10 oz pours even with low ABV. I had a Kane Head High which was in a 16 oz glass. They also use OpenTable for reservations which I used as well.

You'll want to try the chicken parmigiana pizza, with a crispy chicken cutlet serving as the dough instead! Try a Trenton famous tomato pie, and see that it compares well to other notorious spots in the area! Their Billy Mac cheeseburger came loaded with creamy Mac and cheese! We loved the Mac and cheese so much we even ordered it as a side. For a more traditional entree, try the short rib for a cozy fall dinner. The short rib was tender and inviting and came with an ample amount of mashed potatoes and veggies. A great healthier option. And save room for dessert, the chocolate chip cookie skillet and funnel cake fries are a MUST! The cookie skillet was warm and gooey and the funnel cake fries brought the classic treat without all the mess! Make Flying Pig tavern your next hangout spot. It's a great place to watch a game, join in on their trivia nights, or come by for ladies night. They have a large spacious room upstairs that can be rented out for parties.

Beer wise, well they have always been average. I'm not really a fan of anything they make. It's average at best, some brews are true to the style and some are head scratchers.
