Plan on coming over soon to enjoy some brews in something other than an industrial boiler room style.

Can't believe we've never made it here before! This is a well established brewery that has perfected the art of brewing. The taproom feels a bit eclectic, and it wasn't what we were expecting, but the beers were all top-notch.Our two favorites were the Larissa's Bliss (milk stout) and the Nevermore (farmhouse saison). They also had a beertail, a bloody mary, that was also super unique.Between their taproom and their outdoor space, they have ample seating for small groups.

Wonderful small town brewery in Clayton, NJ. Warm, inviting atmosphere with dark wood, a nice view of the brewing equipment through the windows, artwork on the walls, big garage doors/windows that let in lots of natural light, big three-sided bar and a small corner with a gas fireplace and two armchairs. Such a welcoming, cozy atmosphere inside. My girlfriend and I came here on a rainy Saturday afternoon. There were only two other people there for a long time so it was a bit quiet and awkward but it started to fill up later on. There was a lot of variety in the beer list, but several selections were sold out (they said this was because they're such a small brewery and are transitioning to their summer beers at the moment). We tried almost everything on the menu. I wasn't crazy about their lighter beers (a few Pilseners, IPA's and pale ales). Too watery and not enough flavor, in my humble opinion. But I think they truly stood out with their darker beers. Most south Jersey breweries will offer one or two token stouts/porters, but here they offered several, all of which were rich and robust and full of nuanced flavor. How have other reviews not mentioned the smoked glasses? They have a small device that pours smoke from several different types of wood, straight through a hole in the bar right into the glass. I've never encountered anything like it at any other brewery. Drinking the 7.8% Nevermore (black saison with notes of dark fruit and chocolate) in a smoked glass while watching the rain fall outside is just about #1 on my list of life's simple pleasures. This place is definitely high on our list if NJ breweries and we definitely recommend it to fellow beer lovers and beer nerds looking for a unique spot.

Love this place! The space is comfortable and inviting, the brews are adventurous and interesting, and the service is warm and friendly. The quintessential small town bar in the form of a brewery.

This is a nice brewery in SJ. We have some tough competition here so that's why I'm giving it 4 stars. The beers are good, but they usually tend to have a darker selection every time I go. Which is great for some people I'm just more of a light and or sour girl! I really like the ambiance inside and out, we've sat in both areas. The staff is always knowledgeable and friendly.

This place is just an absolute vibe. Small brewery but the amount of detail in their bar room is so relaxing, interesting & unique. They open up the big door in the warmer seasons, it just feels like a nice place to be. Outdoor seating and activities are also available. Beer is also good, something for everybody. Also had Steph as our bar tender, she's an artist and designs a lot of the labels, very talented staff!

Very cute brewery with a cozy feel. Good layout with plenty of seating and some cool private seating areas. Plenty of stuff that makes this unique. I look forward to coming back. Flights of four 5-ounce pours.

I always go there to chill and make friends, I love it. My first and best brewery I've been in.

Great little micro brew. Inside an old garage with a nice homey feel to it. Nice variety of beers to choose from and my bartender was nice. Only downside is that there are no TVs. Reasonable prices.
Their entire beer menu is amazing, and the ambiance is even better. The indoor fireplace is super comfortable and relaxing. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, except for the one owner that won't allow us to have our dog outside on the property. If not for that, the rating would definitely be 5 stars.

Outdoor environment brought inside. Good selection of micro brews to choose from. Recommended trying the smoked glass treatment. It's free and ads aroma to your beer.

Sometimes when I go to a brewery, the beers are all bitter or all bland. This place had a nice mix with lots of quality from which to pick. I had a dark wheat nitro, an amber lager, and a pale ale. All were excellent. We sat outdoors and it was family friendly. Be advised that many of these beers are high ABV.

Love this place. Excellent variety of craft brews, Kate is AMAZING, and the ambiance is outstanding. Indoor seating areas are open and spacious, including more private areas of groups. Outdoor seating is well thought out, including tiki lamps and fire pits, as well as ping pong and corn hole. Covered and uncovered outdoor seating. FOR FOOD: Nick Pizza down the road delivers to this brewery and the food is great. Absolutely have pizza ordered and delivered while you enjoy your beers here.We came as members of Harvest Host with our RV and would absolutely make this stop again. Highly recommend! Thank you to Core3Brewery for being HarvestHost members and allowing RVs to stop and patronage your amazing brewery.
