Message jtclockwork beers 21132 º places 554 º 15:02 Wed 7/29/2015 I wasn’t a big fan of KTK either. Their session IPA was great though.
Message dmac beers 6644 º places 35 º 15:33 Wed 7/29/2015 Stopped by Demented brewing over the weekend. The name absolutely fits the feel of that brewery. Old brick and mortar type building, dark tasting room with a cool hand painted mural that looks like Halloween come to life. The artist who painted it now works in the taproom and was a rule cool guy. The beers had a few pleasant surprises, really enjoyed the juicy APA and the strawberry cream ale was just a nice surprise. Seven beers on tap total with nothing flawed but the wheat was boring and the worst of the lot. Give these guys a little time to get used to the equipment and they will be pumping out some real nice beers.
Message dogfishho beers 669 º places 3 º 08:52 Thu 7/30/2015 So is Demented fully up and running, open to the public now? Thinking of trying to kill some time there on Friday.

Message dmac beers 6644 º places 35 º 12:55 Thu 7/30/2015 According to Facebook they are having another "soft opening" this weekend with hours Fri, Sat and Sun. Not sure why the keep calling it a "soft opening" when they are indeed 100% open.

That sounds a bit pretentious to me. :-/ If they make good beer, educating their customers shouldn’t be necessary. People like what they like, and they’ll buy it... if it’s good. Just make good beer. Lord knows there’s no shortage of lousy beer these days.
Message jtclockwork beers 21132 º places 554 º 17:37 Sat 8/8/2015 Stopped by Demented today. Definitely open. I second most of what Dmac said. I think they are going to be good. They are right down the street from my mechanic, so it looks like I won’t miss any more tune ups.

Message jtclockwork beers 21132 º places 554 º 22:00 Sat 10/3/2015 Man Skirt brewing just had its opening. I didn’t make it as I went to Bullfrog and then Spellbound’s anniversary party. I’ll try to check them out soon.
Message ben4321 P beers 11349 º places 628 º 09:47 Mon 10/5/2015 Departed Soles is doing their official grand opening this weekend. We might try to stop by as we might already be in Jersey City anyway, though if it’s as crowded as they claim, might just skip it... https://www.facebook.com/events/1640605336222809/

Also depends if Other Half is doing their scheduled IPA release that morning.
