Very cool brewery. Amazing selection of unique beers. The vibe inside is chic. Highly recommend this place.

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 ?

They have a pretty good variety of beers with a range of flavors, so thats a big plus."The last straw" was an extremely delicious drink and my new favorite.There is an outdoor area for good weather days. They don’t serve any food, though there are some tiny snacks/treats; but you can bring your own food. there is street parking available. They have karaoke night every Thursday! needless to say, i couldn't resist making an appearance on a kareoke night. It's definitely a great spot to sing some jonas brothers on karaoke, grab a flavored beer, and take a load off.

I've been here 2 or 3 times and it's always solid. Back in July we sat in one of the curtain covered cabanas on the back patio. Service was great and they had a food truck/grillmaster on property. Back in June, we sat at the bar and enjoyed pizza we brought in from across the street at Dough.I love breweries but some go too far in their passion projects (lord if I see another bitter IPA or weird stout) but this spot keeps me satisfied as a person who enjoys sours and drinkable IPAs. I got a guava IPA this summer that I enjoyed so much I grabbed a 4 (or 6) pack on the way out. Great service too - when we brought in food but no utensils, the owner went out of his way to source a couple plastic forks for us. Pleased to support this Black-owned business!PS if you're fat the bar stools are a solid choice for inside seating. In warmer months I recall the outside chairs having arms or being the thin folding jawns - the cabanas had bench style seating.

We were in the area for dinner and decided to swing by for a drink afterwards. There was a fun vibe as soon as we walked in on a Saturday night. The space was festive and the tunes were up my alley. The beer was very good -- we enjoyed it and even got two packs to go. We had their IPA and a Belgian. There were a number of beers on tap and I would've tried others but we had to go. The two packs of 4 were $45, which I thought was a bit steep compared to other breweries. One was $20 and the other $25. I didn't see their prices posted on the fridge ... I don't live in the area so I'll get to enjoy them at home. If you're in the area, give them a try. We parked at the train station lot across the street.

Great vibe and a variety to choose from... beer, cider, non-alcohol etc

The beer is middle-of-the-road, not great but not bad. That was the highlight of my experience at Montclair Brewery. The staff was as helpful and knowledgable as an overseas call center. Untrained, unfriendly, could not be bothered and had no idea about the beer she was serving. The seating area is a collection of tattered wooden outdoor benches with very uncomfortable, mismatched, dirty cushions. The owner must have picked-up discarded items left as curbside trash. We were absolutely repulsed and felt dirty having sat for a moment. Montclair Brewery is pretty sketchy from the outside and it gets even sketchier when you enter. I must thank Montclair Brewery for delivering such a bad experience so quickly. We didn't waste time leaving and found another establishment close by where we had a great time.
Ordered 2 beers here and they pumped syrup into a plastic cup and then poured a beer into it. What kind of self respecting brewery uses SYRUP PUMPS to flavor their beer. They also charged me $9 for each beer. If you're gonna charge that much, don't serve me a syrup filled beer in a plastic cup. Place is also disgustingly dirty. Won't go back, this is not a real brewery. Shame on you for pretending to be one !

Latest visit was for the Jamaican Independence Day celebration. As always events here are a good time.Finally had the Jubilee Red, which delivered on nice, smooth flavor. My buddy had the Mango Fire, and said it delivered.The Brewery continues to do great things.
