BERLIN: Berlin Brewing Company is a craft brewery with a cozy tasting room known for great beer, fun events, and being wonderfully dog friendly! Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside the tap room and outside on the patio, making it a perfect hangout spot for both humans and pups. We absolutely loved the vibe here with its natural wood accents, lush greenery, and thoughtfully designed seating areas that make you want to settle in and stay awhile. Rarely do we enjoy everything we try at a brewery, but this place pulled it off flawlessly. The Boro 30 coffee stout was smooth, balanced, and easy to drink, the Moonwalker cream ale was bright and citrusy, and the Sweet PaTaTa's pale ale brought rich malt flavor with every sip. Even their non-alcoholic root beer was incredibly refreshing! There are plenty more options on tap too, so every kind of beer lover can find something to enjoy. We also had the best time chatting with beertender Tiffany, who was incredibly friendly and happened to be celebrating her birthday while we visited! Bring your own food, catch one of their lively events, and kick back at this awesome local brewery. read more

Looking for something to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon, my girlfriend and I decided to stop in for a few beers. It was our first time here. Decent sized parking lot, and a nice little tasting room inside. Nice decor and variety of seating, including authentic German beer garden tables and benches. It was pretty dead when we visited, just six people at the bar who all appeared to be locals. The bartender was quick with service but didn't engage with us further. $7 pints and $9 flights of four 4 oz beers. There were 9 beers on tap and one seltzer when we were there. We each had a flight so we got to sample most of what was on the menu. Unfortunately we didn't really like most of what we had. The Mexicali Brews (a mojito Pilsner) was definitely interesting in that I've never seen a beer like it before. It was the best of my flight. The Galway Girl (Irish red ale) seemed too watered down, the Stalk n' Hops (cream ale) was just ok, and the Gravity Storm (DIPA at 9.45%) was, I hate to say, atrocious. The Double IPA is by far my favorite style of beer, and this was too watery and had a bitter aftertaste without any of the smooth, nuanced hop flavor I've come to expect from other DIPA's. Most breweries will offer a brief description of their beers, including intended flavor profiles, hops used, etc, but there was none of that here so it was hard to tell what they were going for and what went wrong. If you're local, I'm sure this is a nice place to hang out with some friends and beers. They do a lot of fun events including food trucks and live music. But this is definitely not a place to go out of your way to visit, as you can find much better beer elsewhere. read more

This place is great! It's a taproom, small and inviting! Very music friendly! The beer was fantastic! So many varieties that you can find the style you like! The owners (Michelle and Eddie) are very down to earth people! Very community invested!You need to go! read more

We threw a surprise 80th birthday party for my parents at this venue. Everything was perfect. The owners Michele & Ed helped along the way and gave me recommendations for food and other things. We had 70 people and everyone raved about the venue and catered food we brought in! The beers were cold and delicious! Since it was a private event you can bring in wine etc for those that don't drink beer. read more

Berlin brewery is a great little find. You got Michelle pulling the stick for ales and IPAs (and she's not too hard to look at either!) .The conversation is local and real. The brews are unique, and a must stop when you're passing through Berlin. Looking forward to their corn brew from the local farm. read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon and the two women working behind the bar were great! They were friendly and attentive. My favorite beer was the Holly Jolly Winter Warmer. The bartender by a cinnamon sugar rim and it complimented the beer well. The beer and atmosphere were excellent. Definitely recommend coming here! read more

Berlin Brewing Co. - a flight of beers - Breweries Near Me - Berlin, New Jersey

First time going to an indoor brewing company and this place did not disappoint. There were 10 brews on tap and I'm glad they had the availability of flights. It was 4 beers for $8. I had a NEIPA and a golden stout among the 4 I tried and they were delicious. There was also a pear beer which was really good. The staff was super friendly, talkative and welcoming. Please give this place business. read more

Berlin Brewing Co. - My beer flight. Did not come with a pilot though. - Breweries Near Me - Berlin, New Jersey

Stopped in here yesterday afternoon on a whim. The bar seats were full as were all the tables, but it appeared a birthday party was the reason for that. We managed to snag a couple seats from some party folks that got up to get some food. I was pretty pumped to see that the menu wasn't 80% IPAs and Stouts, so we ordered a flight to try a few different brews. #1, the one with bergamot was lovely. I am a tea drinker on the regular so any brewery that is able to successfully mix tea flavors and beer is okay by me. The winter warmer was nice too, but it was much better with the cinnamon sugar rim. There was an Ale we wanted to try but the keg kicked mid pour on our flight and they didn't have another to hook up. The little bit we did try was very smooth, not super hoppy like you typically get with anything ending in "Ale." We tried two others that weren't super memorable to me. Overall, I think the beers are interesting, and it was really refreshing to go to a brewery that knows how to make something other than IPAs. It's a big place that usually is probably not quite so packed. The staff was friendly. The location was a little out of the way but I would be interested in coming back if I am down that way again. read more

Berlin Brewing Co. - Beer flight with an extra winter warmer - Breweries Near Me - Berlin, New Jersey

Berlin Brewing has been on my radar for almost a year now, and I'm so unbelievably glad I was able to visit while still living in the area! Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this still-new brewery -- I figured it'd be a tiny, bare bones tasting room with a handful of options. I was totally wrong! I walked in half an hour before closing with my mom to an inviting environment filled with people happily drinking away the weekend. I found us seats and was directed to the brewery area. Per NJ's weirdo laws, you have to take a tour before you can drink. At Berlin, you walk into a space that feels like a museum exhibition area where you can watch the video created by the owners (sorry, I did not, but I did take a photo of it!). You then grab an admission "ticket" to show as proof of your tour. When I got back to the bar, my mom had already requested to try their alcohol-free root beer. She loved it, and Tony gave it to her on the house! Super nice. For my flight, I teetered on what to order but eventually tried: * Boro Kolsch * Humble Bitch * Bulldog ENG Mild * The Grey Earle I was blown away by the intricacies found in each beer. I used to hate the kolsh style, but this one was refreshing and smooth. Same deal with the English mild. My favorite? The Grey Earle, a tea-infused English mild. Um, can I just say: Incredible. So good! Humble Bitch was an oddball. I can't even describe it. They call it an Amber, but it's more bitter than you may expect. But it's also... good. I liked it, but I'd never order a full pint of it. Even so, you should check it out for yourself. Maybe you can describe it better? I really like that you can mark up the wooden flights. I signed "KD" in a circle, so if you get that holder when you go, you're extra lucky! I also scribbled over Eagles fan stuff to show my Vikings support. After all, there's a big emphasis on sports decor in this brewery. My whole visit to Berlin was extremely positive. From the beers to the friendly staff, I couldn't have asked for a better welcome. So many good vibes to you guys. Hope I can make it back one day! read more

For a while I had been wanting to come to Berlin Brewing Company, and I finally made the trip all the way from Toms River. I am glad that I went. Berlin Brewing Company is a relatively small establishment. They have a bar with some side seating, although most people seem to be sitting at the bar. The other customers were all very friendly, and I got to meet many people. Most of them were right from the immediate area. They only charged me $6 for a flight, which is relatively inexpensive. I feel I had a lot of enjoyment for the money. The beers tend to be malty and rich. They even had some Christmas themed beers, which I enjoyed. The beers were not super complex, however. The staff members were very attentive and super sweet. I just didn't get to meet any of the owners, however. Sometimes I enjoy meeting them for a personalized tour, instead of just the video. However, I think it is a good idea that they have a laminated ticket to show compliance with the law that all customers have watched the tour-video. read more

We just had 2 flights to try every beer on tap and we enjoyed them all. I'm picky with my beers so it is rare for me to like all the offerings. Plus out server is knowledgeable and super nice. We'll definitely be back. read more

Berlin Brewing Co. - A flight of beer plus egg rolls from the food truck outside. Great way to support a local business. - Breweries Near Me - Berlin, New Jersey

I was excited to come here but was totally disappointed. Just like all breweries in NJ, you have to take the self guided tour before getting served. They had 6 beers on tap, 1 was out, and the root beer wasn't carbonated yet (I would've just not put this on their list bc a few of our friends wanted it). They did let us all try a sample of it and it was pretty tasty, little sugary but I liked it more then the beers they had. You can get 4 beers in a flight for $6, or we tried all 6 beers on tap for $10. They were all disappointing except the milk stout and the winter beer. I think the winter beer was good because they added a cinnamon sugar rim to the glass which is optional. All the beers had a weird after taste, like legit Berlin tap water. Pretty disappointing. We'll be back in the future once they are a little more established and get more beers out there. We won't totally give up on our local breweries in South Jersey! You can bring food here or get delivery. It's very spacious. read more

Very nice selection of beers, good atmosphere. A very nice neighborhood hangout. Will be back again

Berlin Brewing Co. came to me with a high recommendation, but unfortunately my experience fell pretty flat. To start, they were closing an hour early on the day of my visit, limiting the time to really experience the "tour" and go through the sampling process. I would have liked to watch the video and learn more about their brewery, but I ended up just popping into the room for a second to grab the "ticket" needed to show the bartender that the tour was taken. They were out of three different brews on the day of my visit and didn't have anything else replacing them on tap. Of the brews I tried, I felt they were just okay. I had a small taste of the Summer Ace and Boro Kolsch, as well pints of Sunchaser Mango Ale and Insolent IPA to share. They weren't bad, but none of them really stood out. There are so many breweries out there, especially in South Jersey, I was really hoping for that wow factor. Even though they were trying to close up shop early, it took three attempts for us to settle up. Berlin Brewing wasn't bad, but just not worth a special, out-of-our-way visit. read more

I would insert a baseball pun here but the last thing I want is for you to get in trouble at work for hysterically laughing because we all know you're looking at Yelp reviews instead of doing what you're getting paid for. Anywayyy, the reason I mention America's past time is because that is the theme of this place. You get a ballgame ticket when you walk in, take a self guided tour and then you get to taste the good stuff. For being a new brewery on the block, these guys had a lot of beer on tap. I tried the rye saison, kolsch, red ale, irish stout, English IPA, and American IPA. This was around the holidays, shortly after they opened, so I imagine that they have new stuff on deck and that their lineup has been tweaked (drum symbol). You won't find any snobby hipsters or crazy brews here. This is the kind of brewery that you would take your old man to for father's day or someone that's a sports fanatic. Surely, I will be making my comeback one day soon. read more

We decided to revisit this establishment after "happenstancedly" stumbling upon it a year ago after not being able to locate a cooking class date we were heading to. We shared a few good beers and had a great time with a local DJ in 2017 and decided to give it another shot for nostalgia purposes in 2018. It has totally become THE popular place in just a year. Food trucks, a band, trivia WOW! It was super crowded and the brewmasters seemed to care more about their own food and / or their phones than us waiting at the bar. Once I was recognized and served we went for 2 flights, which are absolutely reasonably priced at $6 / flight (4 mini beers). Their beer list was only 10 deep with 1 being a non-beer (0%). With that said 2 flights and were virtually done with the entire beer list. Ok ok ok what beers were good you're probably asking? WELL. They had a Pig Roast Smoked Porter (5.4%) that was really UNIQUE and quite tasty. My BF said it seemed as though it was brewed with bacon ! It was really different. The Nutty or Nice was also pretty tasty as it was embellished with hazelnut bitters. His fave was the Scream Ale at 4.8% which was a lighter sweeter ale with a refreshing taste. Will we be back? Probably for the pizza truck next week because we had previously eaten of course before coming here and the pizza folks were scarfing down looked CRAZY GOOD, SO, we will be back, primarily for the pizza and will of course grab a pint to wash it all down with. read more

For the atmosphere, popcorn, service. Beer is pretty good. We're used to (and enjoy) more IPA style beers. My favorite was the Nelson pale ale but we also tried the summer ace hefeweisen, sunchaser mango ale, insolent IPA and blood orange shandy. Blood orange tasted like orange soda, IPA was a little sweet for me, hefe was nice and basic, and mango was very sweet. Overall, glad they're here and a great place to stop by for a quick drink. read more

My husband and I visited for the first time this weekend and were pleasantly surprised! We were just driving by and weren't sure what to expect but we had a great time. It was nicely decorated for the season, very clean. It was a Saturday afternoon so it was pretty dead which was actually nice, we chatted with the bartender a bit and got some history on the place. My husband had a flight and enjoyed every beer, I tried their Tiramisu (I believe it was a brown ale) which was outstanding. We live about 25 minutes away and will definitely be back soon! read more

One year later and I gave this place another shot. They are still making homebrew, Every single beer is terrible. I can't believe it because my buddy said they were Getting better. I guarantee this place will be closed after their lease runs up. read more

I actually enjoyed this brewery. Loved the stout and the one beer with cinnamon sugar on the rim. And pretzels. Environment is nice too. Not too crowded. read more

Solid local brewery with a nice selection of beers.

4 stars to Berlin Brewing company! Good place to have a few brews. No food, but you can order to the brewery. We tried a few flights and everything we tasted was good! The "tour" is a room with a video playing so for those brewery buffs you'll be here strictly for the brews! read more

Yeah man. Great to see some local guys making it happen. Good selection. Keep it up!

The beers are great! Holly Jolly is a fantastic brew! The owners are so cool and they love to talk beer! My wife is crazy for the Holly Jolly with the cinnamon sugar on the pint rim. read more

One star is one star too many. For the love of God- get some bartenders who know the beer and have a personality. I've been wanting to try this place for months. I've tried many of the other SJ breweries and they are great, but this place is pure amateur hour. I would bet that they will be closed in the next 6 months unless the owners hire knowledgeable bartenders and brew some decent beers. read more

I've tried many of the breweries that have started to pop up here in NJ and this one seems to be my favorite. I enjoy the laid back baseball atmosphere and there is such a great variety of beer which I sample everyone. Give this place a try and bring home a growler. read more

I've been to many beer festivals in the tristate area over the years and never have I came across a brewery that had so many excellent beers in their stable. I loved everything about this place from the extremely likable owners and staff to the old time baseball theme throughout the building. The brewmaster Tony Alfano is unmatched in his knowledge and craftmanship. His Holly Jolly winter warmer instantly became my new favorite beer. I can't recommend this place enough and couldn't imagine anybody finding anything negative to say about it. First class all the way. Keep up the great work guys! read more

My friends and I have a club in which we hit every south-jersey area brewery throughout the year. Some we get to more than once, for others once is more than enough. In my opinion, Berlin Brewery is one of the three best in SJ. They offer a strong selection of base beers, not just two or three styles and the rest is a variation of a theme. Their beers are also inventive and nuanced. Specifically, their English Session and Hefeweissen beers are flavorful, and layered with subtleties. These are not one-note pours. The same holds true when you get into their higher abv selection. The humble bitch and peach ipa offer a strong, refreshing drink with well considered ingredients. If I had to offer any constructive feedback it is that they are not the most friendly behind the bar. When I have asked questions and tried to engage in conversation, the bartenders and owners do not seem that interested in talking shop. I'll focus my time on my friends sitting next to me and the beer. Cheers! read more
