Nice little stop on the way to the Stone Pony. Just a small space, on an average street corner. Simple setup: order at the bar, sit down with a brew. There's a small area for live music. Not really much else to say. Service is fine, and beer quality is decent. I think there were maybe 8 selections when I was there, with a good variation of styles, so chances are you'll find something you like.

This is by far my favorite brewery. Helps that it's 10 minutes from my house. The place has an awesome laid back vibe. The staff is super cool and will chat with you about their beer, other beer, or anything. They put on some great events, like Beer & cheese tastings. The selection is off the charts. So many good beers to choose from, plus they rotate some seasonally. If you're in the area, make sure you stop in for a taste.

Stopped here to check out what they were doing. The place is pretty nice the service was very friendly, we talked about brewing for a while. The selection was pretty good as well. I'd stop back if I were in the area.

Overall a cool place, new and clean, with a little bit of a hipster feel.

I liked the vibe better at Asbury Brewing Company, though would come here more often as the beer and selection was much better. Bartenders were very cool and had some interesting stuff on tap. I'll be back for sure.

Small tasting room right on Main Street in Asbury. Selections on tap on the tv's, there were eight available, including a few vaiations on the Summerfield Sour. There are also cans available for take-out along with other brewery swag. Bartenders were super cool, and very informative about the brewery.

New place. Near Kane so I decided to stop by today. I think they opened last weekend. Really nice place (although a homeless guy asked me for change from my car when I parked

Went to the grand opening of this place. A really cool brewery run by 3 really cool guys. Their flagship beers are solid and hopefully they put some really incredible stuff. Cheers guys and best of luck!
