13 Best Craft Breweries near Clifton

“First time visiting... solid beers! Apex Predator is an excellent neipa! Also had the Ravendark, an export stout...exceptional! Staff were very friendly! And if someone in your party doesn't like beer, there's a distiller next door (Silk City)!“

“Phenomenal flavor. I’m very picky when it comes to craft beers and the four I picked were all so great and flavorful. The sours and IPAs are best in class. They have a great selection and the bar tender was very friendly and talkative. Bolero Snot Brewery is my new go to brewery for strong and fun beers.“

“Always impressed with their beers. I'm at over 1000 breweries. They're solid, I love the outside space. Super close parking can be problematic but there's always parking a 2 minute walk away. It's well worth a visit!“

“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!“

“One of NJs best! This must visit brewery always has a wide array of beer styles guaranteed to hit the spot. If you're a fan of traditional lagers, pilsners, and bocks, you will especially enjoy this experience. If you're not a fan of beer, they also have a house seltzer with flavor bursts.During the nicer weather, they also boast a spacious biergarten out back.“

“A selection of 17 CBs on tap, including gluten-free options. The prices are reasonable, ranging from $7 to $8. A flight of four for $15, served uniquely on a small roller coaster! The brewing tanks are fine. And don't miss indulgent Stout, boasting a rich flavor with a 13% alcohol content.“

“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!“

“First time here and I love it! Great atmosphere! Joey makes the pizzas and let me tell you, they're amazing!!! I couldn't even wait to write the review before taking a slice, haha!! I definitely recommend 100% and I will be coming back with more people!“

“Hands down one of our favorite places! Good beer, some great live music, and we love Ed and Gwen!They have pretty good beer... I love the yearly pumpkin beer and we enjoy the Diablo with its spicy kick! I actually like all their IPAs. You can bring your own food or order delivery they have quite a few tables. If your looking for "beer snobs" this isn't the place. This brewery is always filled with everyday hard working people. All the times we have been here no one had ever been rude and no drama so it's a nice change from some other spots. They have great shirts for sale and this year they made Christmas ornaments out of beer tops so you know I had to have one! Stop in it's worth it“

“NJBC has been in the craft brewing industry since 2010 and, over their long existence, have created some of our favorite NJ beers. While they have always excelled in the IPA lines ranging from traditional to hazies and milkshakes, I think the stout and porter lineups are even stronger offerings. As a fan of strong, dark, and generally more complex beers, NJBC really hit a home run with their "Cups of Peanut Butter and Chocolate" porter. But you won't go wrong with anything on the board.One of, if not the most popular beers they make is the "Blood Orange LBIPA." This would be your must try beer if you've never experienced it.“

“Have visited this brewery a several times. It has a great location and is a beautiful venue, but most important I have to compliment the bartender Stacy. I have visited most of the breweries around the area, and sometimes if your not a "regular" you are not really welcome or treated as well.Stacy and your staff not only made me feel welcome but took the time to treat me as a person not just a customer. I also appreciated, the knowledge your staff had the beers on tap. I know some nights can get busy (been there on Saturdays) but the extra effort your team puts in is the reason for the 5 star review.Cheers!“

“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 ?“

“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.“
