    I am glad we found this place because it's awesome!!! Like I always say, "If I'm in your town I'm looking for the closest brewery to put some craft beers down!" Ha! This place is located off the main road and behind some apartments and beside a distillery. The building is beautiful and it's vibey and spacious and beautifully done. There is a nice outside sitting area as well. There were a lot of people there the day we went and everyone was happy and enjoying themselves :) The staff was friendly and the beers were great! We ordered: - FRED - The IPA for me(Excellent) - Watson's Next Hair Color (Mango + Peach) for my gf(Excellent) - Soft pretzel from the food truck outside(Good) The only bad thing was the bartender asked if we wanted to open a tab and I said yes but I wanna pay cash when we are done but instead of taking the card and swiping like most do and handing it back and closing out when we were done he kept the card and after leaving to go to Princeton we went to pay for parking and realized he never gave it back to us. So we had to drive all the way back! Boo! Swipe and give back brother. Anyways, this is a great place and I can't wait to return the next time and enjoy it more without the rain day like we had on the day we went. Enjoy :)

    Great beer selection. Large and cozy tap room with plenty of room inside and outside to chill out and enjoy. Extra oints for not just having IPAs on the offerings. Tasty Stout and Porter when we were there. BYO Food and a rotating selection of live music. Great for groups of 2 to 20. They also have a nice selection of games on hand that you can play at the tables. And a distillery next door... Winner winner BYO dinner

    What a great spot! Met up with some friends for the Christmas jazz music night. What a great atmosphere: repurposed barn with two floors of seating and very warm, inviting feel. The drinks are really something special. I tried their house made seltzer and it was light, fizzy and perfectly flavored. I sampled some of the paler ales and they were excellent too.

    I enjoyed this brewery. The have both indoor and outdoor seating. Everyone was extremely nice! They have board games that you can play. They don't serve food but there was a food truck we ordered from. Beer is tasty and refreshing. Great place to hang. Also, dog friendly outside.

    Came here for the first time cause my husband loves breweries and this place is a GEM. They have an amazing selections of beers, some alcohol based slushees as well and non alcoholic drinks (quiet a few pregnant people including myself that were still able to enjoy!). The atmosphere is inviting and laid back feel - perfect for a brewery. They have indoor and outdoor seating and you can bring dogs as well (restricted to the front portion but still pet friendly- would call ahead of time if you are going to bring your furry friend though). Also they have this amazing fresh brick oven pizza truck with a selection of sweet vs. savory pizza options. Can also bring your own food as well ! 10/10 definitely recommend if you are in the area

    Flounder Brewing has a new, wonderful location, like a large farmhouse. The downstairs has the bar and a ton of seating, and the upstairs has seating and a party area. Lots of outdoor picnic table seating as well. A couple of nonalcoholic options, great beer selection, and although they do not serve food, they will often have a food truck outside where you can order while you're sipping. Bartenders are great!

    Cool place, live music, nice staff. Hopping place, lots of happy people! The beer samples that we had were awesome! The beer menu has a large variety of choices. The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. The live music was so cool. We will definitely be back with friends.

    Wow! The beers are amazing! The palate you had will not be foreign to their everyday styles. The atmosphere is modern day farmhouse! It is cozy, inviting and will make you feel like you have left the real world and entered a place where everyone is just here for the same reason; to have fun and drink the fruit of our labors (craft beer)! The staff by far are just as unique and welcoming as the beer and brewery! A family friendly experience for all to come enjoy!

    This is a brewery. You can bring food in. It has a nice setting. I went in the afternoon. It was calm and not overly noisy. They have some extended hours around New Years. There are a number of beers on tap.I tried a few variations on IPA including a red rye and one with oats.They also have a good fruit sour beer.. you can get 8 ounce pours which is good.Nice place I'd go more often if it was open at lunch time -which today it was.

    Loved the beer, space and service. I had the Drunken Pumpkin Ale and it was great. I left with some cans to go. I deviated from my mostly sober october and it was well worth it :) Will definitely be back.

    Enjoying the weather with games and excellent beers/seltzers at one of Flounder's outdoor spaces!

    Brooks Brewery is located inside the Northside Lounge in Manville, NJ. It was the 101st brewery…read moreI'd visited in NJ. They actually vaguely have a similar set-up to Troon Brewing and the Brick Farm Tavern, in that the brewery doesn't have its own formal tasting room, and a full service bar is the exclusive tap for the brewery. Northside Lounge actually has a separate Yelp page, but it's hard to review each separately because they overlap. You can order cocktails or other kinds of beer. They have basic food items available, too, which are inexpensive. The Brooks Brewery list is on a dry erase board, as pictured. IPA snobs won't like them. I thought that they were light, fresh, and drinkable. The Belgian cherry one was the best. They are a 1 barrel system. It's a very modest place, and it has a dive bar atmosphere. But there's charm. Friendliness is always important to me. Every single person said hi to me, from the brewer to the bartender to all the after work patrons. Manville is an interesting town. I thought that being in the part of NJ that it is, it would feel more upscale. It actually is a blue collar Polish town. It feels as if you're in the heartland of the country. I enjoyed the overall experience at the Brooks Brewery even if it's not the most posh brewery in NJ.

The peanut butter porter just tasted like flat doctor pepper and I had high hopes for that one. The atmosphere was underwhelming as well.

What is outstanding to us is the care which all the staff and brewers show as they are there. Clearly the same love is widespread as the place was full on a Sunday afternoon. It is pleasing that many were there with their kids showing that this local business gives to the whole of the community. The enjoyment of brewing has moved past mere pub secrecy out to the whole of the community. A long calendar of events of all types from pub trivia to local music to sponsoring fellow food, eateries and holidays are all helpful to promote the family warranted nature of this business as it's clear with a large number of newborns and families as might be unusual and yet should be normalized. All staff are knowledgeable in the brewing and hospitality skills to succeed now and for the long run. Point of sale systems are able to keep open a tab and clearly distinguish ongoing bills. The marketing keeps rights with the sign ups of emails and keeping customer histories. Branding is consistent and relevant leading to a nice, smooth, comfortable customer experience. The two bathrooms are both individual and there are plenty of amenities like nooks and crannies the chat in and coat hooks and ledges and more private corners and food trucks rotate thru the good seasons and lots of lovely people always.

Oakflower, just opened in 2022, was recommended time and time again, so we made this our first stop. I'm pleased to say it absolutely lived up to the hype. You can tell a brewery is serious about their beer when they don't offer flights or any kind of flavored seltzers. They are concentrating on making the best beer they can and it shows. 11 beers on tap with lots of hazy ales, a dangerously good 12.8% barrel aged stout, and a pale ale on nitro which I don't think I have ever seen before. We did a few tasters and a few full pours and everything we tried was fantastic. The taproom is spacious, airy, lots of plants and natural light which gave it a relaxed vibe. It was a Friday afternoon and was pleasantly full, with some of the bartenders passionately talking New York sports with some of the regulars. The friendly employees, the amazing beer, the well designed taproom, its location right across from an old train station in quaint downtown Millington... all of this together made for a perfect first visit. We live too far away to come back anytime soon, but we bought some beer to go to tide us over, and will definitely mention Oakflower to others when asked for brewery recommendations in North Jersey.

    Needle Creek Farm Brewery is one of those places that makes you slow down the moment you pull in…read more You're not walking into a polished taproom in an industrial park -- you're stepping onto a real working farm, and that's very much the point. The barn itself is beautiful in that honest, weathered way. Big old beams, lots of natural light, and plenty of space to spread out. We grabbed a flight and headed outside, where you can sit at picnic tables, watch the cows, and just take in the quiet. It feels rural without feeling remote -- a great change of pace. The beer is solid across the board. Nothing felt rushed or gimmicky. The IPA was bright and easy to drink, the blonde was clean and refreshing, and the darker beers had depth without being heavy. Knowing they grow their own barley on site and brew on a traditional system somehow makes it all taste a little better. What really sticks with you is the experience. You can smell hay, hear the animals, feel the breeze -- this isn't a themed "farm-style" brewery, it's the real thing. It's relaxed, unpretentious, and genuinely welcoming. Staff were friendly and happy to talk beer without hovering. It's also a great spot to bring family or friends who aren't hardcore beer people. There's room to wander, things to look at, and a general store next door if you want to take something home. If you're looking for flashy hype beers, this might not be your place. But if you want good beer, a beautiful setting, and a reminder that craft brewing can still feel grounded and human, Needle Creek is well worth the trip.

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.

The vibes of the old house were great though! Once sat, our waitress was alright. She was kind of quiet (especially once the louder groups were in) and not overly friendly, but food and drink delivery was prompt so that was nice. I got a cider and my coworker had a couple of beers. We split the caramel shrimp (very tasty) and I also had the cheddar IPA soup. The soup was good but could have used maybe just a bit more salt for my taste. He wound up getting the pub burger and said it was delicious. I had the BLT and added fried chicken. The chicken wasn't the fried chicken I imagined (not as breaded/crispy) but the sandwich was really good! Overall, it was a neat spot that I'd go back to if I was in town.
