    Stopped by this fantastic brewery where there always seems to be a party going on. This place is lively with lots of people hanging out and drinking and enjoying themselves. Great service and always cold beer. I enjoyed some good cold IPA and made up for the disappointing warm beer at Brix City brewing.

    Once again needed a cold nice beer and Hackensack brewery didn't fail me - Nice music happy people just a wonderful vibe.

    Bring your own food!  Sushi is welcome!

    We stopped by on a rainy Saturday afternoon to celebrate a friends birthday. It took a few minutes to locate the place as the warehouse is a shared driveway in the back, hiding behind other buildings. Inside we walked in to a decent size area with stand up tables. On the far end is a long bar with plethora of beer choices. I tried the musket haze and it was very good hazy ipa. Like all NJ brewery's you can bring your own food which is a plus. Dogs and children also are welcome inside. Be warned it was quite busy with little breathing room , but in the summer time they have an area in the parking lot cornered up where you can drink outside. Overall good experience and would come back to try more of their beers.

    First timer, found out about the brewery from the Yard House in the American Dream Mall. Waitress suggested my table to sample it. We were blown away. The coconut blonde Ale was so refreshing and delicious. I had to buy it. My co workers would like me to get them some as well. I found it the brewery. it was a bit tricky. I was determined. It's a very chill cool hangout spot. I would have stayed but it was late. It would have been dangerous if I did. The bartender asked if I tried the vanilla flavor and I have not. Happy to try a sample and yup I bought that too. Left with a smile on my face!! I will be stopping there next week. It's a must on my list.

    I always loved the beer at Hackensack brewery, especially their Hackensack comment beer, which is a true homage to Hackensack, New Jersey. Fun fact, it has the alcohol count of 8.1 which reflects the 8.1 barstool pizza rating at the Lido's restaurant. Everyone here is super friendly and super willing to have you try their beers. You won't be disappointed no matter where you go. Whether you're drinking their beers at a farmers market, at their brewery, or at the Lido's Restaurant. Your clean and relaxed facility is a welcome site for all.

    Thrilled to visit yet another brewery in Hackesack NJ. I enjoyed it immensely compared to a negative experience at a recently opened brewery 8 miles to the north. Very sociable and knowledgeable beer tenders are the key to a successful brewery. If a customer tells me "I come for the atmosphere" and knows nothing about the beer, I'm out! The brewery does not offer food, but there are several restaurants nearby including two pizzerias.

    Sorry to report I was not impressed here. Beers with seasonal flavors weren't great, and the others were pretty average. I will admit it is cool inside for hanging out, but getting to the place is tough. It's behind a headstone company with no lit up signage, so even seeing their sign was hard in the dark. Extra parking is not marked well enough.

    Great selection of beers in an old warehouse. Not pretentious at all and the team there made you feel very comfortable. We went at 5pm, before the crowds and it started to get busier as time wore on. We each had a flight of four and Musket Haze was my favorite .

    This was a fun place to hang with some friends and drink some craft beer. The beer itself here was very good. I started out trying a beer flight of 4 different brews they had on tap. Im a big IPA beer fan, so I started out by trying alot of these types; and I must say they were great. Everything was brewed perfectly. Hackensack Comet was my favorite one of the bunch. The west cost ipa style and citrus flavors was the perfect combo. This was so good that I ordered a tall glass of it afterwards. This brewery is pretty spacious and has some parking. Overall, I had a good experience here and would come back to enjoy some more of their beers!

    These people make some great beer. I went to the Jersey City Beer festival a few months ago and…read morehad a fantastic time drinking their beer. The one beer that enjoyed the most was from the Brix City Brewery. I hung out by their tent most of the time I was there. It has body and a nice hazy look to it. It is what I believe a great IPA should be. I plan to go to the brewery soon for a visit and maybe a tour. They clearly sold me on their beer. I finally went to the brewery and the atmosphere was very nice. There was a chill environment with some live music playing. The server was very welcoming and helpful making suggestions and recommendations. Unfortunately, we tried three different beers and all of them were warm! I'm sure there must have been a problem with their refrigeration because that's not the way to serve beer. I left and went to Hackensack brewery where they always serve cold beer. Sorry but they need to address the refrigeration issue before I can go there.

These beers strike the perfect balance between rich, smooth flavor and that classic IPA bite. Honestly, they're way more complex and enjoyable than I expected. If you're not into IPAs, give these a try--you'll probably be surprised. The taproom has a great vibe--casual, welcoming, and centered around a cool reclaimed wood bar. The staff is knowledgeable and super friendly, always willing to offer a taste or a recommendation. Whether you're into hazy IPAs, darker brews, or something a little more experimental, there's always something interesting on tap. Keep an eye out for their seasonal releases or small-batch brews--they get pretty creative with their flavors, and it's absolutely worth checking out.

The building itself has a great lay out and a is the perfect spot to meet someone for happy hour. It's a good spot to spend a lazy Sunday. One of the best perks about the place is that Rutts Hutt is across the streeet for when you get hungry. Ghost Hawk also throws great outdoor events with food trucks and local vendors selling their products. If your lucky you might catch a local hardcore show one night. Overall GH is a great brewery with great people always having a good time. So stop in, grab a beer and say high to Steve!! Don't forget to take a bag of beers to go. Which by the way always have awesome labels.
