    Great beer. On this point alone they are one of the top breweries to visit in New Jersey. As with most breweries in NJ they don't serve food, but they do offer a list of places you can call for delivery, which is nice. I hear the laws in general around liquor licenses for New Jersey are headed for a massive positive change (for customers anyway) so it will be interesting to see how these places adapt... anyway... The place itself is wonderful. Generous space both inside and out. Friendly service and a decent list on tap. No flights? Well, this one point stopped me from giving them five stars. Yes, they are super generous with tasting samples. That, and the 8oz pours kind of makes out to be a compromise, but it isn't in the end. The samples make me feel bad about not paying for them and for someone that visits breweries for variety the 8oz pours are still too much. Bring flights to the bar or put 4/5oz pours on the menu. I would gladly pay the 8oz price for half the pour. Heck, if I was thinking fast enough at the time that is what I should have asked for!

    If you want to try some really good beers look no further. Conclave Brewing located in Flemington is just the place. They have delicious Pilsners, Blonde Ales, Pale Ales, Fruited Sours, English Dark Mild, and Indian Pale Ales. My favorite is SUMMER JAWN- A slightly sour beer with a hint of raspberry flavor. It was really good and very refreshing on a hot summer's day. You can enjoy sitting in their Biergarten or inside at one of their tables. The staff was very friendly, and accommodating. This place was on my list of breweries to try. I got my passport book stamped.

    Excellent brewery! I drive almost an hour just to visit it. The tap list is very IPA heavy, which I prefer, but they also have good stouts & pilsners. The indoor space is rather small but it's always clean & I never have an issue finding seating. I typically go on Sundays, however they do their can releases on Wednesdays so I'm usually unable to get cans to go because they are sold out by then (which is another sign they make great beer). Service is always friendly & knowledgeable about the beer & will offer you tastings. Crowlers & Growlers are refillable & reasonably priced.

    One of our favorite breweries to go to for date night. Their beer tastes so good and flavorful. The service is great never have to wait in a long line and the staff are very friendly. This place is our top favorite!

    Lilting Grace, limited release can drop on 1/11/20.

    Conclave Brewing was having a limited can release of their Lilting Grace on 1/11/2020. The staff was was able to accommodate everyone in line by limiting the purchase to two 4-packs per person after realizing that they were going to sell-out soon. This was greatly appreciated since my ride to Conclave was over an hour. The purchase process went smoothly. After a small wait, the line entered the main door, pay for your purchase, walk to the brewery, pick up your purchase and you're on your way. Easy peazy. Thanks to the Conclave staff for a smooth process and being able to accommodate those on-line.

    It's been my goal to visit each and every brewery in NJ, and it took a while to finally get to Conclave. Flemington is just far from where I live, and their hours are relatively limited. But I kept hearing good things, so I finally made it on Saturday. I'm so happy I went. Conclave has a really nice crowd of people who go. They are funky and friendly. It's a small, quaint place. It's everything I like a brewery to be. The day we were there, the weather was perfect, and it was nice having the hatch open. There's a small bar area on the left side, and the main brewing area is on the right. Their "Gravitational Waves" IPA was my favorite. Apparently it's their flagship. I could just drink that everyday and not get tired of it. Some of the other beers I tried were still good, just not the same as Gravitational Waves. I like how they refrigerated my growler before filling it with their beer. I like how I was able to meet one of the co-owners. That makes a difference in my experience. I like hearing about how they got started, and what their plans are for the future. Apparently, they are going to be moving next door in the same industrial park to a space much larger than what they have now. Occasionally they do can releases, which is really popular. Their beer is rated very well, so people want their cans badly. They sell out quickly. I will try to make it back when they do a can release. Conclave is probably the best place to hang out in Flemington.

    Very quiet on a Sunday,  just left another brewry that was packed, like a library for old men.

    This place used to be very rewarding, lately its kinda played out. Pretty much abandoned today, just left another brewery that was packed. Maybe they can make spring better. 10 people in attendance. Place I left was cheek to jowls. Over priced experience and left me flat. Cheers!

    Located in a nondescript warehouse looking building, Conclave is not the easiest place to find. But you will want to find it. Came here for the release of a new Double IPA, Interpretation of Dreams. J-J-J-J-Juicy! Had heard great things about their beers and even though taproom hours are limited (i.e. 6-8pm on Thursday), made the trek over from Monmouth County. Apart from the great DIPA release, I was also lucky that Mexican Evening was available on draft. Smooth, milky, cinnamon chocolate delight. The beers were great! The space is small, but it didn't feel crammed and they did a nice job of utilizing the space.

    Great beer - great selection - great staff - great atmosphere. Indoor & outdoor seating are perfect for just the 2 of us or for when we bring friends. Never disappoints!

    4oz pours of the 2 stouts and the double IPA. Also 2 of their 32oz growlers you can fill to go!

They have 16 options on tap, showcasing their farm-fresh ingredients across beer styles, seltzers, and even birch beer. Flights are always a must for us when visiting a place for the first time and we enjoyed every taste. Standouts included the Doppelbock, Mango-Kiwi Fizzy, Godhi-Real Peach Fruit, and the most unexpected favorite, El Diablo Chelada, a beer-meets-Bloody-Mary situation. Even as someone who usually skips Bloody Marys, this one won us over. Bold, layered, and wildly drinkable. Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome inside the stunning barn-style tasting room, complete with warm wood paneling, oversized wagon-wheel chandeliers, plenty of seating, Rutgers pride, and a peek into the production area. Outside, pups can stretch out on the spacious deck and lawn overlooking the farm. Bonus points for fire pits where you can cozy up with a beer. This is also a family-friendly spot with a great playground out back and loads of room to roam. Just be sure to check their website for 21+ hours. Bring your own food or catch whatever food truck is on-site, and don't miss their packed events calendar. Trivia, open mics, chess games, book clubs, bingo, and more keep things lively all week long. Farm vibes, great beer, happy dogs, and something always happening. Hard to beat!

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.

Flounder is actually right next to a distillery my cousin has been asking me about for years. I've lived in Franklin since 1990 and there are STILL places in Hillsborough I've never seen. So do forgive me. This brewery popped up on my IG (because of course it did) in the context of a monthly book club that they host in partnership with Somerset County libraries. I've spent the better part of the last 20 years primarily reading articles and books related to my grad coursework but made a commitment last fall to return to leisure reading that doesn't make me want to walk into the business end of the ocean à la Edna Pontellier. Take your time - I'll wait. I went for my first Books n Brews last month. The brewery has a classic wooded open concept downstairs, and a party loft upstairs where we have book club. It's BYOFood - at least on winter weekdays - summer and weekends may offer food trucks so please check before taking me at my word. The bartenders are super friendly and welcome you into the space - and back to the space once you return as I did this week. Our very own Cheers in central NJ. I'm Carla. The beer is really really good. I LOVE that there isn't an abundance of IPAs and I love a good hazy but brother please. Enough. They've got some good fruit/sour representation. The first time I went I got a cardamom beer, this week I snagged a currant forward hazy. Prices are reasonable and the vibes are great. They also have an outdoor picnic table area - my new book club buddy said that the outdoors is dog friendly and they regularly bring their pups. I'm both very excited for book club and for experiencing more of this brewery as the temps warm up. It's really giving a community vibe - in addition to book club they stage plays, game nights, musical performances, cheese board events - all kinds of good stuff. Enjoy my pics!!
