Small space that fills up quick. Prices were good, but the variety isn't the greatest. If you are not a fan of IPAs or pale ales, you probably want to skip this place. Service was good and the staff was friendly. No food, but you are allowed to bring your own. The table next to us ordered a bunch of pizza. Parking lot isn't the greatest, it was not easy to spot the place and I had to drive past it a few times. You're going to think the GPS brought you to the wrong place, but don't worry its there. read more

This place is making really good beers, but its just another IPA brewery, so if you're not an ipa fan you probably wont like it here much. Though many of the beers taste exactly the same, just different hop variations. I must say though, the staff here do seem like they have their nose up in the air. They are a bit snobby, but I'm fine with that, I just need you to pour my beer and I'll be on my way. I did feel bad however, I paid with a credit card, but there was no tip section, and I didn't have cash on me. Maybe the bartenders are being paid well where the owner doesn't find it necessary to tip. I hope that's the case! read more

Great local brewery. Love the option to have an 8 oz pour for $3 bucks or a full pint for a few bucks more. A little off the beat and track in an industrial park. No food here, but pretzels, so make sure you have a little food in your belly before you get here. Some people order in pies from a local shop nearby and have them delivered right to the tap room! Good idea! There are great beer options here. I especially like their Low Visibility and Vine Shine Ipa, two citrusy flavors. The Search Saison was like a white wine flavored beer. Loved that too! Took home some Low Visibility and enjoyed it in cans, just as much as on tap. Will be back again to this little gem in Fairfield soon! read more

Magnify Brewing - Nice bar setup and choice of beer. - Breweries Near Me - Fairfield, New Jersey

See all

Magnify brewing has super friendly staff and a fun environment. A small glass of their in house brewed beer will run you about $7 but they are delicious and flavorful. I would highly recommend any stout they have on tap. Magnify also has tours of the brewing process but we got there a little too late in the day. I would suggest going a little earlier than expected to make you you get the chance to tour the back. The selection was small, about 5/6 beers on tap but that's to be expected from a small brewery such as this. The variety was great though, IPAs, sours, stouts and pale ales. I would go back again. read more

Delicious brews and a nice variety. Recently visited the new outdoor beer garden. Definitely low frills set up in the parking lot but I appreciate the dedicated space for outdoor dining. I wish they had more options on tap -- most pours are straight from the can. Be sure to book a reservation! Will certainly visit again. read more

Super, super, super, friendly and welcoming. I became instantly upset at myself for being there to just take a growler Togo with hospitality like that. Lots to choose from, with a little something for everyone's liking. Went with their Contractual Obligation as it was said to be their hoppiest. The more bitter the beer, the sweeter the man. The crowd was plentiful on a Saturday afternoon and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Looking forward to visit again and stick around this time and enjoy a good cold one amongst friends. * Other note worthies to note.... Check out their website for tips on how to get there. It's in "The Junction". Your GPS will get Ya there, but you might drive student driver slow status. Just don't give up, keep going. And they take cards, yaaassss!!! read more

It's a family affair with a pro brewmaster. Eric and his parents are cool and always greet you with a smile. The brewery is small located in an industrial area of similar small service type businesses. The front half of the building has a rustic style bar with a number of tables. You can bring in food to enjoy with the brews. They have 4 year round beers (Search saison, black wheat, Vine Shine IPA, Low Visibility Pale Ale) and an occasional one or two limited releases, like the most recent 30 Hours and Search Saison aged in red wine barrels. The 30 hours is their best beer I've had, which is peach infused Imperial Pale Ale; very yummy. They sell most of their brews at the brewery, but you can also find their beers at the Cloverleaf Tavern. They open everyday at 4pm on weekdays! Looking forward to seeing what they will brew next! read more

This brewery is pretty good. One of the biggest condemnation's that come against them is that "all their beers taste the same". I kind of agree but hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it. They make a pretty solid hazy IPA and have a decent amount of Murch available For sale as well. They don't serve food here but sometimes there's a food truck parked outside. read more

Great local brewery putting out phenomenal beer. Great people and really into the craft. everything from their Saison to their cherry wheat is top notch. The Pale and the IPA are pretty much the best I've had.. This is a must go to place. read more

Easily accessible off the area highways, but a little difficult to navigate through the Industrial park to find the brewery. However, do not let that turn you away because this place is a rapidly rising brewery. Currently, they have an amazing IPA on tap called the Vine Shine IPA that, according to staff, is rated on Beer Advocates top 50 best beers to have in 2016. This was certainly one of the best IPAs I have ever had. They also have Flashbacks are Forced, which was a Saison that comes to a close second as their best beer but this place is great. Came here on Valentines Day expecting a light crowd as everyone was out at fancy fine dining establishments, but instead it was pretty packed and locals state that is becoming a popular theme for this new and quickly rising brewery. Despite the crowd, the staff was amazing, helpful, and quick to make sure no one had an empty glass. This is one of the best breweries currently around. I think big things will be coming from here in the near future. Stay tuned. read more

Totally awesome place, love their vine shine and search saison. Just didnt know you could bring food or get it delivered. very nice atmosphere. read more

I went one weekend on a whim and have been hooked since. Consistently making great beers and canning them too. I felt incredibly welcomed from my first visit to my last and fourth visit. Every time I've gone I bring someone new who is blown away by their work. I also really like the layout and feel of the brewery. read more

Magnify Brewing - Glassware and bar side of Magnify Brewing. - Breweries Near Me - Fairfield, New Jersey

So kind of disappointed with Magnify. Had their Citrapollo, Intergalactic, and Strawberry Short Stack. I'm a Hophead and the Citrapollo and Intergalactic were super citrus bombs...but to a degree that was imbalanced imho. Couldn't taste much of a difference between the Citra and the Galactic...If I hadn't read which hops were used in each i would have thought they were identical in a blind taste test. Now for the Strawberry. Actually liked this better than the other two, only because it didn't taste like i was drinking a glass of alcoholic orange juice. I don't think it's necessary to add maple syrup to the Strawberry short stack to achieve that caramel sweetness. I would say experiment with more grains to get that flavor profile. Also $17-$18for a 4 pack of pints? Really? I would think beer is cheaper at the brewery! read more

New brewery in Fairfield! Check it out. Great craft beer selection. Black Wheat is my favorite. A really good stout with hints of biscuits and chocolate. read more

Magnify Brewing - Great farmhouse style IPAs (Woah Nelly and Woah Equinox) - Breweries Near Me - Fairfield, New Jersey

I went on a Thursday evening around 5:30 and stayed until 8pm. The beer was okay. The place had a good atmosphere, packed house, and a line out the door for carry-out cans. On the plus side, relatively inexpensive for a local brew. The tap room was full and the crowd around the bar was a few people deep when I arrived. The bartenders do a poor job of keeping track of who has been waiting. Someone who showed up after me was served a flight, finished the flight, and ordered another round before I had a chance to order a beer. They seem to be short on glassware, and all of our beers were served in 16 oz mason jars, even for 8 or 12oz pours, with the bartender eyeballing the pour. I'll chalk most of the issues I had up to growing pains of a relatively new business, but I hope it gets streamlined. I don't mind busy, but it takes some of the fun out of the evening when you spend a sizable chunk of it waiting for a drink. With the large number of microbreweries in NJ, I'm more likely to try out a competitor, or go to a bar with a good selection of beer than come back. read more

Great spot for some after work beers. They do have some in cans, but most are not available to go. Worth the trip, will be returning.

If you ave little kids, how do you go to a drink place. The answer lies in the local micro-brewries. Can you imagine a table full of young kids playing while the parents enjoying beers next to them in public place? I have never visited micro-brewry before, and this is my first in NJ. once you off the main road, you will first reach the back deck on your right; So go around the building to park in the front. The place is very neat and clean, with friendly staff, aka. bar-tender. Likely, they hold different liquor license comparing to bar or liquor store. There is no food here-an opposite of BYOB. It would be nice if I came with a bucket of LA crawfish or fried chicken wing. This summer, at least in late May, they serve six different beers. The list changes from time to time depending on the month. They offered us a free taste, including two ready to take out options. The Vince Shine IPA is a very delightful one. It is different from regular IPA that has high IBU; instead the IBU is well under 50 with 6.5% ABV. It also contains a moderate levels of grapefruit/orange flavor. Without hesitation, we took a growler out for $15. What did my 6-mon daughter do during all this? She sits in my arm and check the place. She likes this brewery and gave a five star. read more

If you love IPA's this is definitely a stop for you .. quaint and cozy off the beaten path type of place .. I will be back sooner than later .. give it a shot guys .. read more

Beer lover and big time supporter of drinking local. Found Magnify by accident on social media (that's the best way). Have been following the brewery for a little while waiting for the stars to align and find a date to make my way down there... Turns out the night I plan corresponds with a bottle release of their new barrel aged saison. Show up at 4:10 pm on a Friday and the line is out the door. No inconvenience here, at least I know they have a following. I wait in line to get a few tickets for the limited release and my wife heads to the bar to get a few samples. The place is everything you'd want in a local craft brewery. When you walk in its warm and there's a distinct smell of beer in the making. They have a homey tap room that transitions into the brewery. I would have like to taken a tour but this particular night was exceptionally busy. Props to the management for ordering some pizzas for the crowd that was happily gulping down some amazing brews. While we're on the subject, let's talk beer. The 30 Hours Imperial Ale is special. Its claim to fame is the 650lb of peaches that they cut and put into the beer. It's a bright, flavorful beer that I could drink all night long... Except for the fact that it's 7.0% ABV which would end up as a bad night. (Note to the management, don't stop making it, I just have to Uber next time). We also tried the Seasonally Appropriate Berliner Weisse, 4.5%, Vine Shine IPA, 6.5%, Low Visibility Pale Ale, 4.8%, & Search Saison, 5.5%. All the beers are made with love and that's apparent. The staff (which my understanding is all family) make you feel at home and ensure your experience is a good one. I will definitely return on a less crazy night and again see what it's all about. It should be known that they encourage you to bring food or order in if you want sometime to eat. Magnify is everything that you want in a local brewery and I wish them nothing but luck in the future. read more

Made the trek out for the "round of applause" for nurses, which they were out of , so went to plan B. Looking forward to trying some new brews. Hard to find place in the back of an industrial park. Was not thrilled with the girl at counter, felt like I was doing her a favor by buying two four packs. In these times, I think you should be a little more friendly during a sale or when someone asks a question ! read more

I was reading all of these reviews... I can't change anyone's opinion. Thankfully most of them are positive and the truth. I have been coming to Magnify for a year. They are the nicest, most generous trusting people I've ever met. I can't fathom the negativity people spew about these people. It's a top notch brewery with a top notch family running it. They make quality beer. Beer after beer. If it's not your thing? I understand. But don't base your opinion on a day where the line is out the door and wrapped around the building. Come again and again... You will be greeted with a smile a thank you etc..: Great place great beer. That's the true story. read more

if you can deal with small children go kiddie city playing in puddles using the non coed bathroom because parents are inpatient pathetic that kids are aloud in a drinking establishment the staff is attentive but omg children carriages thus isnt chucky cheese What happen to adults in adult environments I dont need to go out in a public place ecpecting adults that bring their kids the place is small to begin with hey, set up a kid section so me and my adult friends can be in adult peace read more

Don't do it. I would give it zero stars if that were an option. We went to the distillery next door to buy some Bourbon gifts and then went here for beer and they wouldn't serve us because we went next door. They obviously have never been to Napa were you go to several places in a day. So just go someplace else. read more

Magnify has quickly become one of my favorite breweries. The staff are great and the taproom (while small) is always relaxed and an enjoyable place to hang. In addition, since upping their production and increasing release times, it's far easier to get cans, which is a rare and welcome development. In short, Magnify is a world-class brewery and it's awesome having it in our backyard. read more

beers are really good, but this place smells like feet. I get that it's just the hops, but it's seriously ruining my beer tasting experience. read more

Great friendly brewery. Eric and Cheryl are so welcoming. Lots of IPAs with various flavors. Always a must stop if in the area.

I really loved this brewery! It just had a really great energy and vibe going on. I also adore the owner's mom and feel like I could just go there and chat with her for hours! The beer also was good; I think I may have found one of the very few dark beers that I like: Black Wheat. Its rich in flavor but not heavy. I wish this new business great success and I hope to be back very soon! read more

Great beer. Need bigger place. Love the IPA's but the stouts need a little help. Still a nice place to hang with some friends.

Cool little place, they need to make more than IPA brews, if this is your thing then you'll love it.

Great beer. Good people. So far I've tried Vine Shine, Low Visibility, DDH Citrapollo, Imperial Cold Side and Dr Citra. All were fantastic. read more

Great beer and fun atmosphere. All that beer= spent grain... I would use that grain to make bread or soft pretzels and serve it there. read more

Great place. Great staff. Beer is exceptional especially their born day. I'm not a dark beer person but its aged in bourbon barrels and all the flavors really come forth. A definite stop read more

Great brewery and great people. Everyone is great here and they are turning out some fantastic beer. Look at their facebook site or follow them on twitter to find out when they are releasing special brews coming out. Casual atmosphere, great to sample some beer, a little bit off the beaten path in the office park, but well worth the search. They sell and fill growlers there too if you want to take some home. The founder Eric is great to talk to and has no problem answering questions and showing off their hard work. read more

Best brewery in NJ. Top notch IPAs, good sours, great stouts. Good can availability now. stouts are creative and among the best I've had across the US. read more

I am so pumped we have a quality brewery in the area. Eric and his family run a great business and are motivated in improving and pushing their product. It's a nice place to stop by have a beer and enjoy good conversation with a diverse bar crowd. It's reminiscent of your local neighborhood tavern. Since they opened back in May I've been a regular and flat out love the place. The Vine Shine is off the charts good and the Pollinator could be the best beer I've had in years. Just hook me up and feed me the pollinator intravenously. read more

This is an excellent brewery with great beer and super friendly owners and staff. My company rented Magnify out for a private event which included a tour and tasting. We were able to use the seating area for a presentation which worked out really well. Eric was extremely accommodating and let us rearrange the room to adjust for our needs. The event was awesome and our attendees LOVED everything about Magnify. For many of our guests it was their first time there, but I can confidently say it won't be their last. Long story short - I highly recommend Magnify for private events. The best! read more

Very nice place with good selection of beers! Only reason I was disappointed is no flight but they willing give us a sample of beer to taste.. read more

Great place!!! This was the firs time my wife and I tried it. We are always looking to find tasty local beers. This place has a neat ambiance. Fantastic craft beers at a reasonable price. Can't beat that.... They do not serve food, but feel free to bring your own!!! read more
