Have been coming to the tap room since 2020, and drinking Bolero Snort Beer since 2018. OVB was one of the first beers I had from them, and I couldn’t be more elated when they opened up a tap room-finally! John, Montana, Jose, Jay and the rest of the crew are the best and never disappoint. This is me and my bf’s home brewery and for good reason. We always look forward to our visits and what new beer creations they have on tap for us to try- we always walk out with a new favorite. We are always looking forward to our next visit!PS we always leave each visit with a haul of beer to take home ?

Awesome Brewery and bar. Don't let the canned beer fool you. These are unique brews. Be careful, they hit like a Mack Truck. Get the MiniTaur if you want something "lighter". This place is the real deal, and they have an events room on the second floor. Ample parking.

First time in any brewery, came in to try the "Pi Day" specials and was blown away! Jason was the best bartender I've ever had! Left with a Cowler of the PB Caramel Apple Pie. 100% coming back soon!

I held a party for my husband's 40th birthday there this past Saturday and could not have been happier! The party space is perfect, Montana and her team were incredibly helpful, kind, genuinely nice people. On top of this they had both the best space and pricing options of the half dozen breweries I contacted. I highly recommend!

Did not expect to find this place. I’m staying across the street in a hotel for work and shockingly this was right here! Fun vibe and friendly staff. Beer was tasty and they brew a good variety.No food (short of chips) BUT they partner with a few local places for priority delivery. There is also a taco truck outside for your immediate needs.

Highly recommend the upstairs event space for any gatherings you may have! Just had my engagement party there and it was absolutely amazing, our guests were so impressed with the space and the selection of beers. The staff is also so friendly and helpful, shoutout to Montana, John, & Scott!! :)

Jose was awesome. Took us on a tour and gave us some great recommendations for the beers. The place is also very nice, the artwork on the walls and frames are the best.Will be back.

BSB is an outstanding microbrewery right outside the Meadowlands Sports Complex, and my personal go-to when I am local. With over 20 mostly rotating beers on tap, packs to go and indoor / outdoor seating, including a beer garden, it’s the perfect spot to work remotely, meet up with friends or just relax. John, Montana and the entire staff are the absolute best, always offering recommendations, conversation and plenty of laughs. Great music, authentic tacos / rotating food trucks and live events too! It’s one not to be missed! Cheers!

Excellent brewery. Good atmosphere. The area is very spacious and they even have good outdoor space. The staff is always very friendly and willing to chat and recommend beers.My only critique of this place is I feel their beer rotation is too fast. I often go and find a beer I like and it’s gone the next week(!)I also love that they are dog friendly. I always bring my pooch. Overall would recommend

Bolero Snort Brewery in Rutherford offers a wide variety of very tasty, "flavor-forward" beers in their comfortable tasting room located just off NJ Route 120 in Carlstadt. Bolero Snort produces several types of tasty and fresh beer on-site - including seasonally-inspired and limited-production IPAs, ales, lagers. stouts, and seltzers -- and rotates the selections on tap in the tasting room (with a menu available on their website at bolerosnort.com/on-tap). Even if you suffer from lactose intolerance or celiac disease, Bolero Snort offers adult beverages for those with dietary restrictions by clearly designating the lactose-free beers and gluten-free seltzers on their menu above the taps. All of the 20+ beers on-tap are available in a variety of pour sizes (5 oz, 8 oz, 11 oz, 12 oz, or 20 oz), to sample several and pick your favorite, then grab a crowler, growler, bottles or cans to go. I was excited to meet up with a friend of mine and his family at Bolero Snort on a recent Friday. The tasting room was pretty quiet when we arrived just before 6pm, but gradually filled up until we left at 730pm. I'm not sure what makes Bolero Snort (and microbreweries, in general) so popular with young families, but there were several groups enjoying tasty beers while their kids sat nearby in strollers in the tasting room. There is a semi-private room on the second floor overlooking the tasting room that is available to be reserved in advance by reaching out to the brewery by email or phone.The three of us who were indulging in adult beverages enjoyed our beers and agreed they earned a solid 5 out of 5 stars for their smooth, consistent flavors. This time of year, I tend to enjoy flavorful stouts more than hoppy IPAs, so I tried the collaboration with Jersey City's Departed Soles Brewery called "Departed is Bringing Cinnamon Rolls", an 8.0% ABV stout featuring intense flavor notes of cinnamon, vanilla, and coffee, and the collaboration with Hackettstown's Czig Meister Brewing called "Czig is Bringing Cake", an 11.3% ABV imperial stout with strong flavor notes of German chocolate cake, coconut flakes, toasted coconut, pecans, cocoa and vanilla. WOW! Both were exceptionally smooth and tasty. My friends loved the Acrobaleno, a 7.8% ABV imperial stout inspired by Italian rainbow cookie with flavors of raspberry, almond, cocoa and vanilla; the Pineapple Bullwhip, a 6.3% ABV IPA flavored with pineapple, vanilla and lots of hops; and the Barrel Aged Spumoni, a 10.9% ABV imperial stout aged for 16-months Willet bourbon barrels with tart cherry, pistachios, cocoa and vanilla. My friends gave the Peanut Butter Snowbull Fights, an 8% ABV Double IPA, mixed reviews as the smoothness of the peanut butter and vanilla notes conflicted with the double helping of Citra, Mosaic, and Bru-1 hops, but still drained their glass without a second thought. I'd definitely go back next time I'm in the area to try some of the other flavorful beers.PRO TIP: Food is not available directly from Bolero Snort, but menus are available at the brewery for the many, many options that will deliver to Bolero Snort and there's usually a food truck camped out just off-site on Broad Street.

Hands down my favorite brewery in NJ. The brewery itself is awesome and now they’re dog friendly, which makes it a +. Best sours around!

Lots of tasty beers! Love the creativity of their beers, especially the sours, and the fun names and artwork on their cans. They're always coming out with delicious new creations.
