Great beer bar in the middle of a beer wasteland. Around 20 taps that rotate constantly, with some really nice offerings. No BMC products, and the only macro served is PBR to satisfy the hipster crowd. Also has around 50-60 bottled beers to choose from as well. The beers are all in top shape and the lineup is usually quite diverse. Some of the beers I have had there on tap in the past month or so: Allagash Tripel and Dubbel; Founders Cerise; Victory Storm King and Golden Monkey; DFH Festina Peche; Troegs Sunshine Pils and many more. Owner Vito is a good guy as are all the other bartenders I have seen there. Place is very small, with no food available as of yet, but you are welcome to bring in or order food from the outside. Prices for the beers are a bit on the high side for NJ, pretty much comparable to NY beer prices but I don’t mind paying them for the convenience of only having to travel around 3 miles away. Great little place that this area sorely needed.
