Thanks Sam! They have BEER SLUSHIES!! Highly recommend. So many great beers accompanied with excellent data on each one. Hooray for spreadsheets; they can indeed be used for awesome! Burger 25 next door delivers to Icarus for free. They have rad salads as well as burgers. Make sure to ask for condiments and napkins but if they forget Icarus does have napkins available on the first floor to the left of the bathrooms (which were sparkling clean fwiw). I wish they were closer to my stomping grounds but theyre definitely worth making a special trip for. Great prices and good happy hour as well. I can easily fully endorse their awesomeness. PS I heard there's really good Indian food right down the street. If Sam is there you can ask her about it, and remind her to find and try some Dosas!

As one of the holiday gifts for my husband, an avid craft beer enthusiast, I was excited to learn…read moreabout Icarus Brewing Company's Mug Membership Club. They have been at their "new" Brick location since 2024. The Icarus Brewing Company's Mug Membership Club is a year long special that includes a free mug, 10% off drafts (whether you take it to go or enjoy it on-site), 10% off all merchandise, including clothing, tumblers, and glassware (that Feather Falling glass is mine!), $2 off the first pour of every month, and, to top it all off, a barrel-aged bottle of their latest release. They text my husband when it's ready, and he heads over to pick it up. Needless to say, he was a happy hubby when I gifted him this gift. Their wonderful crew staffs the taproom and they keep the place immaculate. The atmosphere remains incredibly relaxed with ample seating available, both indoor and outdoor. Special area for kids and doggies to burn off energy during warmer weather. Next door is a burger spot if you want something to eat while enjoying your beer. Every beer they offer is solid, with a wide variety to choose from. My personal favorite is Drinking Crayons.

If you have a huge party, they've got you covered with a humongous backroom bar seating. The entire staff there is exceptionally knowledgeable about their craft beers, so it was a pleasure to chat with them about what to order. The IPAs and Double IPAs are very hazy, hoppy, and fruit-forward. Stouts are full-flavored. If you enjoy craft beer, THIS is THE place to go to. You can order and have delivery, or bring outside food to be eaten there.

The taproom is on another level as well. One might say it resembles a millennial hipster fever dream, but being a millennial myself I say it is incredibly well thought out and designed. Housed in a former manufacturing facility for a company that made military telecommunications equipment, there are so many different spaces all under one roof. A bar in the front room and a bar in the back room. A small 21+ lounge with couches in the front, and a giant 21+ "sports zone" with three giant TV's in the back. Three coolers for beer to go. A large merch area. High top tables. Regular tables. Immaculate bathrooms. This place has it all. My girlfriend and I came out on a Saturday afternoon when the place was packed with families and their kids. There was a toddler in the small 21+ lounge and a baby in the sports zone, and only two people pouring beers so they were unable to notice and do anything about it. We don't mind kids in breweries but be advised if that isn't your thing. To the beer: according to their website, they specialize in hoppy beers. There were 13 beers on tap (with some being slight variations of each other). One lager, four stouts, and the rest IPAs. They don't do flights but will pour you two sample sizes at a time, and you'll need those sample sizes for most beers because the ABV will knock you off your feet. I love IPAs and I can easily say they knocked these out of the park. The standout to me was the Birdie Putt, which they didn't have available in cans to go, so we got a four pack of the Ground Rule Triple instead. Founder Jeff Baker spent years honing his brewing skills in his garage before opening the brewery in 2023, and his dedication and passion really show in all of the beers. We live over an hour away, but we will definitely make the pilgrimage back sometime soon.

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.

After extending our stay to enjoy the view, with one more drink each, I wanted to check this place out. The not so friendly female bartender advised me there was a private party on the first floor and to go upstairs by stairs or elevator. Okay. So, anyway, I notice in the elevator there's a 3rd floor (roof top) and wanting to prolong our day out, I say, hold the elevator while I take peek on the rooftop venue. Very inviting, so we go to the rooftop, not crowded, and the bartender was fairly quick to take my beer order. I like IPA's and had a hazy, which she suggested. We sit across from a couple on the couch. I decide on lobster roll sliders. I have a feeling it'll take forever for a server to approach, so I order at the bar and point to where we're sitting and pay in advance. The food comes quickly and I have my cash tip ready and the server very sweetly accepted it. The bread was delicious. Not so much lobster, but the bread and combo made it very tasty. $20 for 6. I wouldn't buy if hungry, but it was a decent appetizer, if a bit pricey, during these crazy times and crazy prices we're all experiencing now Our companions (we were sitting in one of the couch area conversational pits) mentioned his partner was unaware he was paying $17 a pop for a glass of white wine, and had just plunked down $34 for two barely half glasses of wine. Um, no. My beer was the usual expected price. The lobster sliders were on soft, tender, fresh mini rolls that were slightly sweet, like "Hawaiian" bread. Decently priced beer. Enjoyable views. And I took special notice that the barriers were slightly above waist high (I'm 5'6") with plenty of space between the barriers and the ground below - just in case your drunk a* decides you can fly. Lol! Good choice! Nice views. Bathroom was clean, but I can imagine the nightmare when packed, as there were only two unisex bathrooms. The Xtra levels would, hopefully take up any slack. A lot of beer houses do not serve food in NJ, so that's a plus. I would definitely check this place out again or go the first time, especially with a date!

It has a slightly upscale feel while still being comfortable and welcoming. The beers are well-crafted, and you can tell there's a lot of attention to detail in both the flavors and presentation. I tried a few different options, and while most were really enjoyable, a couple didn't stand out as much as I expected. That said, there's still a strong variety, and it's a great place to explore different styles. Overall, it's a great brewery with a solid lineup and an awesome environment. Definitely a place I'd come back to and recommend if you're in the Colts Neck area.
