5 Best Craft Breweries near Stafford

ManaFirkin Brewing Company Brewery • $
450 E Bay Ave, Manahawkin

“Awesome brewery in Manahawkin, easy to find with plenty of parking. Spacious tap room with plenty of seats at the bar or a table. Great tap list with plenty of delicious beers for everyone's pallette, I really enjoyed the Belgian wit and the IPAs. Friendly and attentive bar staff. Plenty of food menus around the brewery if you want to order something and eat there. I would highly recommend the Mexican place right across the street, it was a perfect accompaniment to the beer. A must stop of mine when I am in Manahawkin“

Backward Flag Brewing Company Brewery • $
699 Challenger Way, Forked River - 8.82 miles

“Outstanding little Brewery. Great beers, friendly people and great live music on Thursday nights. Bring your own food and drink some great brews. The "black IPA" was perfect, and I would recommend this place for sure. If Butch Ralph is playing his guitar when you are there, buy him a beer. He's a very talented singer / songwriter / musician.“

Oyster Creek Brewing Company Brewery • $$
529 US-9 #5, Waretown - 7.46 miles

“I stopped by here last week with my wife for some evening drinks. We were staying nearby and looking for a brewery whenever we came across Oyster Creek Brewing. The brewery itself is located in a strip mall and the inside was interesting. They had 16 beers on tap this day and the tables were interestingly decorated with circles talking about plume zones and ingestion zones. After guessing it had something to do with nuclear power, we looked it up and figured out that there used to be a nuclear power plant here. After that it made more sense as did some of their beer names.As I often do whenever I visit a new brewery, I decided to go with a flight. At oyster creek brewing a flight consists of 4 beers and so I chose the critical mass NEIPA, Sky Shine black tea and honey ale, half life cranberry hefe, and the 3-eyed fish. For my first beer I tried the Critical mass NEIPA which was a little bit sweet before the hops kick in at the finish. Second was the Sky shine black tea and honey ale which was also sweet at the start before the black tea comes in and then sweet at the finish. Third was the Half-life cranberry hefe which was smooth at the start and you could definitely taste the cranberry before a finish of sweetness. Last but certainly not least was the 3-eyed fish which started off with that tart lime flavor before moving into the dryness of a gose and finishing with, I'll be damned, the taste of Swedish fish. Out of the bunch I liked the critical mass the most but it's that 3-eyed fish which I will still be thinking about.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. While most of my beers were sweet, I did enjoy the IPA and the three eyed fish is definitely a conversation starter.“

Pinelands Brewing Co Brewery • $
140 7th Ave #15, Little Egg Harbor - 7.48 miles

“Beer is very good and the place is clean. Sometimes there's a food truck outside, which is a great idea.excekkent quality in the beer and place has a good vibe. The outside is nice. The only k ock would be the miserable girl serving the beer. She made you feel really unwelcome. A small smile or a friendly comment would have gone a long way. We would have stayed longer, but we were getting depressed having to ask for more service. Owners, please get this young lady some happy pills.“
