    The Haze is Strong with This One (IPA)
    Georgianna G.

    The Haze is Strong with This One (IPA) amazing!!!! I love IPA's and this one is absolutely delicious! Tropical notes of mango, pineapple, blueberry, and strawberry. I tasted the fruit right away. So so smooth. This is their house beer. Always on tap. Highly recommend! The brewery inside is beautiful! The beer tender was very friendly and knew her beer. They have food trucks. I definitely recommend this brewery.

    Came for a friends networking event. A really great BYOF place with a ton of options. Even though it is a brewery they had cocktails, ciders and beers. The service is friendly and quick and there is a LOT of room to be seated. The place got really crowded on a Thursday night! It was trivia night!! It was a great night and I loved Newton Brewing!! Check it out if you are in the area!

    If you don't mind paying $23 for a four pack of local suds, Newtown Brewery is a worthwhile destination for the yeast heads in the crowd. The facility is very attractive with plenty of wood and stone, and the beer is excellent for the most part. We stopped in last weekend and the room was hopping. Tables full of folks escaping Covid captivity. But, we weren't ready for a space packed with over a hundred people without masks, nor social separation, so we bought our "I lost My Marbles" Belgian Tripel four can and headed home. Just didn't feel safe (and thus the one star deduction for lack of public awareness by management). Under better circumstances, Newtown Brewing would be a big hit in these parts, and in fact, it appears it already is. The beer was quite strong at 11% alcohol content, but the taste was great, and the color a robust rusty slurry. Liked it a lot. I'm no expert, but these guys seem to have the right recipes. They do have a food truck in the parking lot most weekends, and we were fortunate to approach the window of Stuff'd Bunns and grab two sliders to partake with the ale at home. They were great and a perfect partner to the cold fermentation. More on them in a separate review coming soon to these Yelp pages. I hate to have to take out a loan to support my occasional beer addiction, but aside from that, and the insensitivity to the CDC guidelines, Newtown Brewery really enhances the neighborhood. Just hope no one gets exposed to the virus. That is a price far to high to pay for a momentary pleasure.

    Stopped by on a Saturday evening to try out the new Newtown Brewing. Within the nine or so beers they had on tap, there was a pretty good variety. We had to flights (of four) to try the ones that looked good. We enjoyed the white IPA, witbeer, NE IPA, and the lemon basil saison a lot! We also tried the cider, pale ale, and blonde, which were also good. There's an imperial IPA and a kolsch on deck, which I'd love to go back and try. There's table seating, bar seating, bar standing, and even a back room for parties (which was open to the public as there were no parties today). There were some kids running around by the bar on a Saturday night, which was strange. Otherwise, a great place to grab a brew. I'm sure we'll be back again after they rotate a few more.

    A well presented flight.

    Great place to take the kids... Is never what you want to hear about your local brewery. I am one of those "beer guys." I never dropped a beach chair at Tired Hands, but I did stand on their line... when that was still a thing. We met some friends at Newtown Brewing tonight with a craving for a solid local brewery scene in Newtown. Our kids are now (barely) old enough to afford us the luxury of an adult night out. Yet I found it challenging to navigate the 7 little kids running around the property before I could even find my way to a parking spot. Mind still open, I entered Newtown Brewing. The space was fantastic. Well appointed, visually inviting, the kind of place where I'd want to come to drink good beer. The friends we were meeting had already grabbed a table despite a busy evening. With no food offered, I was hopeful the beer would be up to the task. For the most part, it was. I don't imagine anticipated can releases any time soon, but the beer was solid. The Lemon Basil Saison could have been gimmicky, but I found it crisp and flavorful. I'd order it again. Even with my "milkshake / juice" taste buds checked at the door and recollections of what a unique IPA could taste like, I couldn't come around on the White IPA. But the Blonde Ale was a very respectable sample of the style, and for me, the Chocolate Coffee Breakfast Stout (Nitro) Stout was the star of the evening, worthy of the full pour I ordered. I could see myself stopping in for a quick growler fill of this well crafted stout. Request to ownership: Based on what I tasted, I feel like you could craft a very fine Red Ale. But the scene was haphazard. Bonus points for one of the owners, checking in at our table to say hello. They are clearly invested, the type of commitment that makes me want to return. Unfortunately, it was followed shortly after by the TV near us being switched from the Notre Dame game to Nickelodeon to accommodate the crowd of small kids gathering around us. Kudos to the owners for entertaining the kids because their parents were too busy on their phones to do so. This doesn't need to try to be a sports bar. But some random 70's punk footage on the screen is a better vibe than Spongebob. Newtown Brewing feels like a place trying to figure out what it wants to be, which is understandable in these early days. If it aims to be a mini "Gordon Biersch" type place that fully accommodates families, then it needs a kitchen. If it aims to be a meeting place where parents can bring their kids and they happen to have some beer, then they're on point. If it aims to be a place where a beer scene thrives, I'd like to seem them build off a solid base of standard beers, be creative, and even challenge beer drinkers with more than a kiddie obstacle course in the parking lot. The beer stood strong enough on it's own that I will return, maybe at a different time to see if there's a different scene. But with the average age of those around me at about 6 1/2 for a good portion of the evening, I struggled to fully enjoy the "adult night out" at my local brewery. Happily, the beer was intriguing enough that I'll visit again.

    Tried Newtown brewing for the first time on Saturday night and enjoyed it very much! They had a food truck, live music and some great beer and cocktail menu. What more could you ask for? Definitely enjoyed the atmosphere and will be going back soon! Also, if you download the bucks county beer trail app there is a 15% coupon. Enjoy!

    Probably my favorite local brewery. Often the beers are satisfying at local spots, but with so many breweries popping up not all locations stand out quite like Newtown Brewing. The winter beers were great, as well as the pumpkin beer. The one that sticks with me the most is the lemon basil saison. Hands down the best beer I've tried at a brewery. I've never heard of a lemon basil beer and had to try it. Highly recommend getting a glass if you go. It does get crowded inside. There is plenty of seating inside and a smaller room area for private parties which seemed to be open to everyone once the private party had left. The only thing I will say that I wasn't a huge fan of was how many kids come. I don't think parents should bring children to a brewery to begin with, but my main complaint of breweries in general is how welcome young children seem to be. Otherwise I hope Newtown Brewing is around for a long, long time! I'll definitely be back many times!

    Good looking venue, but the beer still needs quite a bit of work. My experience with the service was also very poor.

    It's been months since I've been here so my review should be taken with a grain of salt. That being…read moresaid, the last time I was there, their selection of draft and bottled beers, ciders and other drinks were great, varied for every palate, including my persnickety and fickle taste. One of their longtime staples, the Lindeman's Framboise (Raspberry in French) lambic beer, with its fruit forward profile and the low ABV of under 3% makes it a great sipping and people watching brew. The bartenders are always friendly and willing to chat, given they aren't swamped with other patrons. The take out is just as good as their dine in food, and their attention to detail FOR ANYONE WITH SENSITIVITIES (though I can't guarantee anything) or those like myself who have texture aversions to certain ingredients, they are more than willing to accommodate or substitute. I haven't personally looked into anything gluten-free, so that's something to call ahead for details on. Otherwise I have been coming here both with my family and on my own since... Way before they renovated, Maybe 2002, maybe before. It's been THAT long. The place is literally a "must try" landmark for any visitors to the area, with a minor caveat: sports games and Friday nights. Avoid those two times. It's a mob scene and the wait times become outrageous. Still hoping to get back there soon.

    We stopped into Isaac Newton's before catching a show at the Newtown Theatre, and overall it was a…read moregreat experience with just a few small quirks that kept it at a solid four stars. I ordered the Flat Iron Steak Sandwich, and WOW -- absolutely fantastic. The steak was grilled perfectly, tender with great flavor, and the combo of provolone, arugula, au poivre aioli, and the onion nest on a Liscio's long roll really hit all the right notes. Truly delicious. My girlfriend went with the Grilled & Chilled Chicken Caesar and a cup of Butternut Squash Soup. The salad was super fresh, the romaine crisp, and the croutons tasted like they were made in-house -- crunchy, seasoned, and a perfect match for their famous Caesar dressing. The soup had great flavor too, just a touch heavy on the spice (nutmeg maybe?), but still very enjoyable. Because it was a busy Saturday, we were seated upstairs. Our waitress, Kayla, was attentive, friendly, and did a great job keeping up even with the crowd. No complaints there -- she was excellent. My one real critique: the beer list. When we asked about it, Kayla pointed us to a blackboard in the corner of the upstairs dining area. From where we were sitting, it was hard to read -- and honestly a little awkward to get up and try to see. I ended up snapping a quick picture just to figure out what was available. It would be so much more convenient if they offered a printed list at the table or even a QR code you could scan. Because we couldn't easily see the options, I went with a cranberry sangria (which was tasty!) and my girlfriend ordered a cranberry vodka instead of exploring their beer selection. All in all, really good food, great service, and a fun spot before a show. Just fix the beer list situation and this would easily be a five-star visit. Would definitely return!
