Varitage is a nice addition to the brewery scene in northern NJ. The ambience is that of a soccer shop, the rafters are lined with soccer scarves from around the globe. You'll also find some gear like soccer balls and pretty sure I spotted a pair of cleats as well. The folks working the sticks there are really nice and kind. I had one of their double IPAs which was very tasty, my wife's stout was pretty delicious as well, tons of chocolate notes. If you're in the area I'd say it's worth checking out !

Love this place. Cute small brewery with fast service and great beer. The place is clean and doesn't have the stale beer smell to it. I highly recommend. Bring friends and a deck of cards and hang out with some great beers.

Stopped here last Saturday while on a food tour. What a cute spot! This brewery is a nice smaller place which is perfect if you're looking for something on a calmer scale. The woman who took care of us was very nice. The soup container is what I choose after it was recommended and it was awesome. Very light and refreshing and had a great taste. Had a 10 oz cup and it was $4 which I thought was a good price. You can bring food here too. Thought it was a great place! Would definitely come back!

Great brewery! Stopped by here on our way to get some food and stumbled upon this spot. Staff were super friendly and knowledgeable on the beer. The beer selection was also top notch. There is a parking garage near by if you can't find street parking. I'll be returning to try more beer selection!

Not only the best brewery in the area, but one of of the best breweries I've ever been to PERIOD! I've never had a beer there that wasn't superlative. A very wide variety too! You can find something for everyone. Even my friends who don't love beer love it there. It is impeccably clean, warm & welcoming, and has a classy and homey vibe. An excellent addition to the Bloomfield community!

I'm not a huge beer drinker but I like the occasional frosty brew. Ghost Hawk has a nice variety for me to try 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.

It was pretty packed for a Wednesday night but we were able to get two seats right at the bar. My boyfriend had the apex predator as he loves IPAs. I was able to try the United Sodas non alcoholic drinks they had which were delicious. The pear elderflower was great not too sweet or full of sugars and no artificial dyes! It's a smaller brewery but has that homey charm to it. A must try if you are in the Clifton area. Parking does fill up quick!

We did a quick search, saw Jersey Spirits Distilling and decided to give it a try. I would have never known it existed since it's tucked in the back of an industrial complex. From the outside, it looks small, but it's pretty spacious inside. When we were seated, our server gave us a brief history of the distillery. I love that it's family-owned and all of the ingredients are locally sourced from NJ. There are so many different cocktail options, and some of them were so creative in their presentation. Since I was having a difficult time deciding, I went with the Espresso Martini flight. It came with a Traditional, Pistachio, and Jelly Ring martini. I also ordered a cookie butter martini. My favorite was definitely the creamy pistachio martini. I am so happy to have discovered Jersey Spirits Distilling and can't wait to visit again soon!

With that being said the service we received here yesterday was outstanding and better than any five star restaurant. I cannot say how wonderful our waiter was.. I can't remember his name because let's face it. I had a few drinks because that's what it's about there. I believe it was. Giancarlo? So the manager if you see this, please let me know if that's correct or not. This kid was incredible. He was helpful without being overbearing. He was great with his beer knowledge, but we really sold me was when there was a table behind us that had a son with special needs at this young man treated that table with kindness and compassion and really we need more of that. To the owner of this business, I know that the wait staff gets a very minimal amount per hour because they depend on tips, but if there's anyway you can raise his base pay, I would love to see that we were only gonna have one drink each, but because of how he treated us we ended up having two for me and three for my husband, that young man is an investment

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 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.
