    Odd Bird Brewing is one of those NJ breweries you might have never heard of (especially if you live…read morefar away like I do), but it's absolutely worth the trip. Definitely a 5 star, elite level brewery in a surprising location. Drive along Rt. 29 through the historic Delaware River Towns, and you'll find Odd Bird blending in with its active gas station neighbor (all one building) in tiny Stockton, NJ. I've been to a lot of breweries in NJ, and I've come to recognize certain traits that belong to top tier breweries: 1. They don't offer flights. I've read that serious brewers don't like offering flights as it is difficult to fully appreciate a beer when poured in 4 ounces and paired with several other beers at once. 2. No flavored seltzers. They're trying to make the best beer possible and not just appeal to everyone. 3. They collab with other top tier breweries. They currently have a cask ale on tap that they collab with Tonewood and Alternate Ending which are both amazing breweries in their own right. My girlfriend and I made the trip on a Saturday in March. We arrived around 2, and by 3 the place was packed. The taplist consists of ten beers that are all extremely varied and excellently made. The requisite pale ale and IPA are on offer, of course, but you'll also find a Japanese rice lager, a Polish-style oak smoked lager, a grisette saison, an ale brewed with red wine grapes, a mild ale on nitro, and the aforementioned cask ale with a hand pulled beer engine originally from a 1970's pub in the UK. Finding any one of these fringe styles of beer at a brewery would be cause for the average beer nerd to rejoice, but all of them under one roof?! And all of them excellent and in a beautifully decorated, repurposed building with tons of natural light plus outdoor beer garden on the side and incredibly friendly and cheerful staff?! Pretty amazing. We live over an hour away but definitely hope to come back sometime to see what else they come up with.

    I went when they had there cask day. It was busy. But the service was still great staff handled the…read morevolume of customers fantastic. The selection of beers are good as well it's not to much of one style or the there. They don't over charge you and you really get what you pay for. When I want to just go out for the day they will be on my list of places to go

    Lion is a longtime home brewer in addition to being an overall fan of craft beers. He needed to…read morestop and pick up some supplies, and as this place was close to a spot where we met friends for lunch, we headed over. Artisan Home Brew is a business that has been here for quite some time, which says something in the era of home brew becoming popular, then fading from popularity. Lots of places sprung up during that time, then closed as demand dropped. That they have survived shows their dedication to the art of home brewing and their understanding of who their customer is and what they're looking for. This is not a fancy place, nor is it a place for people to stop and pick up a six pack. They don't sell beer, just all the ingredients and supplies, along with some supplies for wine making. They have some beginner supplies, kits and such, though this is a small part of their inventory. It's an old space with clean swept wooden floors and exposed beam ceilings, part of which have coasters from various craft breweries stapled. Shelves are unadorned, lined with various items, bins of different grains line one wall. The staff are quite knowledgable and friendly, with a club-like atmosphere where discussing the craft is as important, if not more important, then selling the product. Lion joined in on the banter, then made his purchase with a firm handshake and a thanks from both. I have a feeling this is going to become a place he visits often.

    Capt'n Chucky's Crab Cakes changed hands several months ago. The original owner/operators sold the…read morebusiness to a new local family; apparently just in the nick of time. A look at reviews from the last few years read of disappointment in the products available in their cold displays. A change was needed to inject new life and renewed quality into the good Capt'n. That has been accomplished. My recent visit demonstrated that management is actively engaged in rebuilding brand by focusing on returning everything that the seafood market was previously known for to their former glory, as well as expanding with high end crab adjacent goods, like packaged pastas, pierogi, sauces and Stock pound cakes. All this, and the smiling repartee from Mark, one half of the new team running the business. This shop may be small, but it is bright and friendly. Of course, the crab is excellent, especially in light of the fact that Chucky is no where near the Chesapeake and must have inventory all year, and not just in crab season. No whole live crabs in the house, but their thing is the cake that lump crabmeat can create. Several options depending on your taste are available. I purchased a quart of Cream of Roasted Corn & Crab Soup and sampled three large fresh Shrimp. The chowder was delicious, with lots of corn and shredded sweet crab. Maybe not quite as meaty as I have loved in Annapolis, the Eastern Shore or the Delaware Beaches, but compelling nonetheless. Maybe next time I will pick up some of the pierogi and pound cakes to create a full meal. 5 Crusty Stars and only five miles from home.

    Marc and Shauna are awesome (the current owners as of this review - 1/15/26)…read more So very helpful, accomodating and they've expanded their seafood offerings. So much more to choose from. Each purchase has been super fresh, easy to prepare with the suggested cooking instructions provided. Super clean, always fresh products. Looking for something they don't carry, just inquire. We are in there nearly weekly. Parking out front.
