    It seems like Downtown Rahway is becoming a nice destination for food and drink after having lunch with my colleague two doors down at Nancy's Townhouse. We learned about this nearby establishment from our server, and some of us tried out their watermelon beer made with real watermelon, which was ridiculously good. Named for the individuals who ran for office during the 1930s with the intent to repeal prohibition, Wet Ticket Brewing is a small local microbrewery on Main Street, where we were welcomed by the owner and head brewer, Tim, who invited us in even though it wasn't open to the public until 4 p.m. The atmosphere is open and friendly. Big windows make the place feel welcoming. Patrons find themselves at the counter, reading a large chalkboard of the various alcoholic concoctions available, posted high above the heads of the servers. The list includes the poetic Spanktown, Grapefruit, Kick-the-Bucket Brown, Watermelon Wheat, and Kolsch. One can even buy a "growler," or jug, to take home. You can also bring in food or have it delivered to the brewery, which is a great alternative. Rumor has it that a mandatory tour through the back room with the fermenter tank where the beer is made before returning to the tap room for samples needs to be made on the next visit.

    First round is looking golden with these locally need fights Freshly poured & nicely chilled!

    Rahway for a brewery? Yeah, why not. I was in the area for a recent function when I realized there's a brewery here in town. Wet Ticket, I believe, is the only brewery in Rahway. They happened to be celebrating their second anniversary and the crowds were jammed packed to the doors. The staff was very friendly, when I did get their attention, due to three-deep at the bar. They seemed very knowledgeable, but due to the packed house, conversation was limited. I tried two of their own, a Porter and a Kölsch. Both were excellent. Drafts ranged from$5-$7 depending on ABV content and size. I didn't seek any outside foods so I can't say much about that though I did see a group of people devouring a pizza pie, which I almost asked them for a slice.

    Nice space, great employees, but the beer isn't anything to rave about. Decent spot to grab a beer and chat with a friends, but if your looking for beer with some flavors that will blow you away this isn't it. None of the beers have a description on the wall, you have to check that out online. My cousin and I got a flight each and nothing wowed us or tasted as described. There was a watermelon beer that unfortunately isn't in season yet that the employee said is her favorite..luckily a regular overheard and told us that there was still some cans at a local liquor store. We picked them up & it tasted like watermelon for sure. Overall a cool spot with alright beer.

    I have been to Wet Ticket at least ten times now and the beer is always good and the prices are spot on. Pints are $5-$6. They have so many options, from ales to IPAs to stouts, there's really a beer for everyone. My personal favorite is a seasonal, the Scarecrow Juice, which is a pumpkin ale, but is not overly pumpkin like other pumpkin beers out there. My second favorite is a tie between the oatmeal stout and fully juiced ipa. Depending on the day of the week you go it is either crazy busy and you can't find a table or super quiet and you can have the place to yourself. Friday-Sunday are definitely their busier days, especially when they have band playing.

    Fresh beer is a big plus. Being on main street Rahway is a big minus. Hopefully, more businesses pop up and push out the rif raffs. There plenty of seating and board game activites. Its cool you can bring food or have food delivered to you. My friend and I ate at Nancy's a couple doors down.

    Friendly staff and a good beer selection make this place a good stop. Grab some pizza from Nancy's next door. You won't be disappointed. During the COVID crisis, they provide contact-free service if desired. Otherwise, one at a time inside to pay & pick up your brew.

    Another brewery, another beer; life continues to be Good. This brings us to Wet Ticket Brewing a cool place that is producing some tasty beers. Tap Room has plenty of room to drink beer. Staff very friendly. Wet Ticket Brewing was within our radar. I had a great time enjoying flights of beer and giving my two cents to my wife. I can report that anything I like, she did not like. Anything she liked, I did not like. Does this difference of opinion make for bad beer. Absolutely not. We just have different taste and this is the fun part. Solid brewery with helpful staff. Owner played some Grateful Dead for me. Very nice and cool. Wife and I tasted all the beers. Fun afternoon. We had fun just shooting the breeze with what we both liked and passed on. There is definitely something for everyone. Few things to remember. You must take a tour before trying beers. This is a must or "no beers". While I have been to multiple breweries; I don't mind taking a tour. I love the passion these guys have for their creation. Oh yes, it is a creation of love. Like I said, plenty of room. Some tables. CC accepted. Very comfortable space to chill and drink some beers. Drink and enjoy with responsibility. Cheers......

    Next stop: Wet Ticket. I've been here a handful of times now and gotta say that it is becoming one of my favorite breweries in the area. And for good reason. #1. They have lots of beer to choose from. It's all about the variety at Wet Ticket. You can order anything from a Watermelon Wheat beer to a Pecan Porter to a New England Style IPA. Quality, along with quantity is what makes these guys stand out. They've already won me over with their stouts and their IPAs - my two favorite beer styles #2. The staff is super cool. They're knowledgeable and seem to be having a great time serving up your suds. Even when it gets busy, you don't go long without a drink. #3. The location is perfect. Downtown Rahway is definitely amongst one of the up-and-coming downtowns with walkable restaurants, bars and shops. Having a brewery right in the center of it all is the icing on the cake. As per NJ law, no food is served at the brewery; however, you have a number of great options nearby that you can bring in including pizza, Peruvian, and sushi. The space is a bit small meaning it can get crowded when it's busy. Parking is street or there is a garage right across the way. Stop in for a flight or a pint and enjoy. P.S. Wet Ticket is a reference politicians in the 1930s that worked to repeal prohibition in the states. Didn't know that before? Now ya do!

    What an adorable brewery! We stopped here with our friends right before it was time to fly home *sad face* The inside was clean, and they had some picnic tables for seating, and chairs at the bar. The brewery was behind a big glass wall that was right next to the bar. So awesome to look at! (would you just look at it) Their beer selection was superb! We all grabbed a flight to try different things, and then the hubs and I split another flight (for our pre-airplane jitters ha!) They had this delicious watermelon ipa *drooool*. It was a fun, short stop in! I would go again if and when we visit Jersey again.

    Great little place with a festive atmosphere. With 15 beers on tap they're guaranteed to have something that will please your tastebuds. Personally I liked the Pecan Porter, Trolley Hopper, and the Imperial Oatmeal Stout. Outside food friendly and staff very knowledgeable about the beers.

    Beer Tasting!

As I approached the door--something many others had done before me--I was abruptly stopped by a man who turned out to be the owner. He rudely told me "NO," and then followed up with "Would you walk into a refrigerator in a restaurant?" Honestly, if the refrigerator was in the middle of where the party was being held, then yes, I probably would--especially if there was no signage saying it was off-limits. Only after this encounter did he put up an "Employees Only" sign, which tells me it wasn't clearly marked before. This could have been handled in a much more respectful and professional manner. The owner's attitude was unnecessarily rude and confrontational. If he expects people not to go in, proper signage should be in place before the event begins, not after making guests feel unwelcome.
