88 Right around corner from Man Skirt. Different lines for growlers v. flights. Strawberry Berliner was world class and amongst best NJ beers I’ve had in a long time. Lots of English styles otherwise. |
86 Really impressive new brewery in Hackettstown, which somehow has 3 breweries. Great town for a brewery day, but back to this spot. I was impressed. Great looking place, with lots of open air spice inside and plenty of seating plus a nice outdoor area. Really great looking spot. If this was in my town I’d bring food and games and set up shop on nice weekend days. As for the beers, 9 were available on my visit, and they are well made. There’s a noticeable connection between them, which is the quality and smoothness of the mouthfeel of the beers. Good stuff coming out of here already, and I’m excited to see where they go from here. |

82 Went to Czig Meister for their opening day this past Saturday. Got there a little before their noon start and was surprised there were only a few people waiting...given other recent north Jersey brewery openings with large crowds. Well many more arrived as I visited over the next 2 hours. This place is very attractive with a large indoor taproom as well as an outside beer garden (which filled up quickly given the great weather). The initial beers were very good...6 in total which included one pilot batch too (a pale ale). The had an IPA, pale ale (besides the pilot), kolsch, amber, and oatmeal stout. By far my favorite was the Falconer Pale Ale...featuring Falconer’s Flight hops. All in all I liked this place and the people running it. There were very few startup service issues...they handled the crowd well and had the right number of people working. I have no doubt they will do well...especially given that the owner was the brewmaster for Kane! I highly recommend a visit here and make sure you also walk the block over to Man Skirt Brewing right around the corner (Jersey Girl is close too). |
