12 Best Craft Breweries near Kenilworth

“Kinda disappointed.I haven’t been home in years.I called to ask about filling an old Growler I bought there baaack in the day. I still have the ‘Rocket Jaw’ tag on it. They said they’re bottling their beer now and only selling Crowlers. No Growlers. I know new ppl might not know of Rocket Jaw but it was all we wanted back then. The girl was nice enough but….had no idea and laughed lol. I guess times change .Still 5 stars, in case they’re still honoring Vet discounts. I remember the son was a vet, Army maybe. Always took care of me. Always had someone like us there. I won’t be popping in. Wish they’d fill my old growler at least, even if there’s no more Rocket Jaw.-side note- I’ve been down in Queen City for some time, I’ve traveled here and there but still that was the best craft I’ve ever had. Maybe because it was my first. Good memories here. Hope it hasn’t changed much.“

“Super chill atmosphere and people. Dogs are welcome, probably my favorite part:) Games for kids so the whole family can have a good time. Located in a nice part of Newark in a beautiful historical building, cool industrial design inside. Music, art, beer!“

“By far my favorite brewery in this area. I try to come often to taste any new offerings. My first time here, I was blown away by how good their fruited sours were and I was hooked. It's a small brewery as you can tell by the equipment but it's in no way related to how good their beers are. I usually find myself inside the front room where there are a couple of TVs, but I don't watch. I usually play COD. It's pretty quiet Friday afternoons but haven't stayed long enough into the evenings. I noticed the other day that they have trivia night, so definitely worth checking out. It's very laid back.“

“great brewery, with even better beer. i wish i lived closer. however, the staff is nice, and the venue is really fun art. they also seem to do a lot of local and fun events. the flights are a steep $19, i am not sure about single pours. parking is a shit show outside unless you pay for a commuter lot, which was $4 for the whole day on a saturday.looking forward to coming back!“

“Great atmosphere, awesome brews! So happy they had a sour on tap for my wife and I really dug the ipa I had. Appreciate that they also had a good truck to help out with the nomnoms. Additionally the chips and salsa they carried in house were bussin.“

“I went to a Craft Beer Festival this weekend in JC. I tried beer from numerous local breweries and my pick for the night was the Wet Ticket Brewery in Rahway NJ. Their Hop Dyed IPA was outstanding! Cold and fresh and really refreshing to drink. After a good meal there is nothing like a great beer, and lately a good IPA has become my favorite. I enjoy trying different beers and finding that special one that appeases my tastes buds for the rest of the night. The beer festivals are a great place to do that. If you're interested in trying one go to Eventbrite.com to find one in your area.“

“Nice little brewery! A really cool, diverse lineup of beer styles. They even have a seltzer for the non beer folks.It's a chill atmosphere, music is nice and low, and some of the tables are right next to the brewhouse. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly.“

“We really liked this brewery! The Untied Brewing Company emerges as a fantastic place to unwind, combining great beer with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Whether you're a seasoned beer connoisseur or simply seeking a laid-back setting to relax with family and friends, Untied Brewing Company offers an enjoyable and memorable experience.“

“This is the staple of Montclair. Montclair Brewery makes a ton of well crafted beers, but they distinctly excel in their super fruited beers. I'm a huge fan of any beer that they put the baobab fruit in. Right now, they have 3 baobab-based beers on draft, and they absolutely hit the spot. Even their Black is Beautiful stout is baobab infused, and it is ?“

“This is the oldest existing craft brewery in the state of NJ, and it excels in traditional beers. From the ESB to the Raspberry Framboise, Dave (owner and headbrewer) showcases his talent of 28+ years in developing and crafting local, traditional beers.Be sure to check their Instagram for food truck and live music schedules ??“

“Gaslight is one of my favorite local breweries in town. I enjoy their selection on tap! Yesterday I stopped in for a few beers and some fries after a day filled with gardening/design work! The environment is just what I needed to relax into the rest of the day! Thanks for your excellent service.“

“Brought the entire family on a recent Saturday night and everything from being seated right away, to great and quick service, to outstanding food and entertainment! If you haven’t been here yet, you need to. The menu is extensive and will fit all of your family needs. Will definitely be returning on a regular basis.“
