41 Best Craft Breweries near North Bergen

“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.“

“For a micro brewery, they sure do have varieties. For those of who are sick of the IPA revolution, we have options! But don't worry if you love IPAs, they have those too. Best dogs. Best trivia. Best rotation of food vendors. Favorite brewery in NYC“

“KCBC Brewery stands out as a beacon for beer aficionados, boasting an expansive space that instantly welcomes you with its warm and inviting vibe. The sheer size of the place allows for a diverse crowd, from casual drinkers to serious hop heads, all finding their niche in this vibrant atmosphere. The selection of beers is nothing short of amazing, with each brew showcasing the craftsmanship and passion of its creators. From rich, robust stouts to crisp, refreshing lagers, there's something for every palate. The vibe is lively yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a long day or kickstart a night out with friends.However, there's a catch—KCBC's focus is solely on their brews, meaning snack options are non-existent. While this might be a slight downside for those looking to pair their pint with a quick bite, the quality and variety of the beers on offer more than make up for it. It encourages guests to immerse themselves fully in the tasting experience, perhaps even prompting a visit to local eateries before or after. In essence, KCBC Brewery is a must-visit for its exceptional beers and the nice vibe it offers, even if it means planning your snacks elsewhere.“

“After coming here for years, I still think it's a cool local brewery tap room with plenty of indoor/outdoor seatings.Tons of offerings on tap. Most are good. Sours are usually on the creamy and sweet side, good for a pint.Food truck is still there most days, with the occasional kitchen pop-ups (follow their Instagram for updates).I must say, staff is a hit or miss though. Most are very nice and friendly, but some are kinda eh.“

“Love this spot!! I came in for one bc I needed to rest my feet. The bartender recommended the "Make It Hopped" and let me sample it first. It tasted great so I ordered a 16oz glass. This place has a great vibe. It had a lot of customers in the middle of a saturday afternoon but we were able to get the last 2 bar seats. Everyone was friendly and the bar service was fast. I wanted to stay for more than one but I had places to be. Will def be back when I'm in the area.“

“An impressive selection of CBs ranging from refreshing flagship pilsners and lagers at approx. 5% alc. content, to bold IPAs with around 7% ABV, and even indulgent rich barrel-aged stouts boasting 10-13% ABV. The staff is efficient and welcoming, ensuring a pleasant experience. One tip: if you plan on ordering food, it's advisable to do so nearer to the entrance before proceeding to the counter beer seats to avoid missing out on the opportunity to pay with your credit card!“

“Nice mood, pretty. Hazy Ipas very good.“

“Other Half is located a block from the apartment building I live on. Ever since I moved here nearly three years ago and tried one of their IPA’s, I haven’t been able to drink beers from other breweries.This might seem like an exaggerated statement, but it is true. Their beers are at a completely different league than anything I’ve ever tried. World class.“

“Gonna say wow on pizza and wingsThis is what you should reference when you speak of artisan NY pizza. Great red sauce topping are all top grade.The crust was great and crispy good chew and mouth feel.Wings are the right size not tiny nor giant .... they were juicy and fresh, slight crust from cooking“

“Cool high ceilinged space with brewing taking place right in the middle of the floor. Great selection of beers, small food menu, but everything I had was superb. Service was attentive and friendly. I’ve been road tripping and visiting a LOT of breweries but their Almost Famous NEIPA is the best beer I’ve had this trip.“

“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.“

“Great place great beer great atmosphere !!“

“Friendly and super quick service. Must do after a walk on the High Line. Loved the music too.“

“Bke is even more than the best Kombucha ever. It’s a lifestyle and a beautiful community ❤️ I highly recommend!!“

“Cozy bar with a friendly staff and great beers! I had a great time performing here.“

“rustic factory turned into brewery. definitely had strong Brooklyn vibes with the babies and dogs running around. Great selection of drinks and also has a nice library in the back to purchase books. also heard there are pop-up food trucks in the summer. 10 out of 10 definitely would come back“

“Dog friendly, plus a great place to throw a party! I came for a friend's birthday party in the tasting room, which is spacious and so cute. Vanessa was our dedicated staff in the tasting room and she was on top of it. Even outside of parties, the brewery is a great place to hang out, with tons of seating both indoors and outdoors and lots of games. There's a great variety of beers, wines, and cocktails, so there's something for everyone. I personally loved the John Blaze, perfect for anyone who likes citrusy IPAs, and the sparkling riesling.“

“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)!“

“It feels like the area has become saturated with high alcohol hazy IPAs, which I do enjoy, but this place offers more variety for the everyday beer lover. Very friendly staff, lots of indoor and outdoor space and if you catch it on the right day, you get an awesome collaboration with some of the cities most underrated food trucks and tasty bites. Great way to spend some time. Just wish there was more regular TV viewing for sports, but that's just my bias.“

“After trying to take the train, then using our GPS, we finally said Uncle and called an Uber. So glad we stuck with it. This Nano Brewery is definitely off the beaten path but what a spectacular find! Loved the Ginger IPA and the Lychee Red brews. Being a craft beer lover from MN, we were extremely happy to find this place. I’d highly recommend their beers. Next time I’m in NY or you are in NY, you gotta go the extra mile and find this place. Great beers await you!!“

“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.“

“I stopped by Endless Brewing Company in search of their Kölsch style beer “Construed to waste your time”. The Kölsch was everything it should be crisp with a light yellow hue and served at a perfectly chilled temperature to bring out its best flavor. Best I’ve have had outside of Cologne Germany. Endless Life Brewing in located in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and has been set up with its neighborhood in mind. The perfect place to come and sit with friends for a chat or play couple games. Their back patio is softly lit and has picnic tables perfect for night of catching up and maybe grabbing a small bite. I had their homemade mac and cheese and I swear they had my grandmother in back making it.“

“Excellent beer - friendly staff! Great atmosphere!!“

“Great place to have a few beers and try the brewery’s extensive range. We did a flight (4 small beers). Pulp Art Hazy IPA my favourite. The chips & salsa are so tasty too. Guy at the bar really friendly and let us try a load of samples before we bought“

“Love and highly recommend this place. The sake is delicious and approachable for sake newbies, the staff is super knowledgeable and passionate, and the vibe is chill and dog friendly. The brewery tour is a fantastic deal (it includes a few drinks) and super informative—they explain the process so well that by the end of the tour you’re left with clear ideas about how sake is made and various factors to look at when identifying sakes.“

“the dumplings were amazing“

“Great beer, great vibe. Can't wait to make it back there again!“

“Great place to go with friends, get some drinks and play games (They had cornhole) Drinks are a reasonable price and are really good. There was an event happening when we came by, but it never felt super crowded with how much space there was.“

“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!“

“good service and good selection. many different drinks(not just beer), didn't try the food though.“

“Huge airplane hangar of a brewery and taproom. Lots of beers on tap that run the gamut of tastes and styles. There's a lot of active stuff happening around here and you can really get lost in the enormous culture surrounding this place. Small food plates are available and they seem to have food pop-ups as well. The other night I had a pizza during happy hour that cost a mere ten dollars. What a steal!“

“Greatest Place on Earth :)“

“I booked the Finback tap room for a work event, and it was an absolute hit. The planning was easy, the space was well priced, and the staff was responsive and attentive. Great beer was served and we were given local food recommendations for catering. Their service is wonderful and I will be back to celebrate future events! Couldn’t recommend them enough!“

“Amazing craft sake in a nice space with outdoor and indoor seating.“

“I normally visit at least once a week every week religiously and when I do I order my favorite hazy ipa the Piff. Also I would like to add that I am always lucky to get greeted and served by JAMES :) he is very attentive and most of all amazing.“

“Fantastic brewery and fantastic beer, what a great spot for some drinks“

“Didn't know there was a brewy in the bronx. Nice cozy place to have a temaste of the local beer. I was on a bike ride and this was our final destination. The father and son bbq was a pop-up, once the food ran out that was it. They had good food, the brewy doesn't have food and they are open at a certain time. I would suggest some heaters if the bay door is going to be open. I will definitely be going to back to try some of there other beers. Maybe catch a game.“

“Came here tonight and surprise- it was trivia night! How cute!! Layout is small and a little wonky so if you want to be in on the action + have plenty of opportunities to socialize, I recommend sitting towards the front near the bar! Unfortunately I came around 8:30 and trivia was fully in-swing so the only seats were in the back sort of away from everyone. One of the things that struck me right as I came in was how welcoming the crowd felt and the amount of queer folks I saw. Definitely felt right at home pretty immediately.My partner and I ended up ordering a flight of beers to share. You get your selection of any 4 beers on tap for just $20. My partner then ordered the burger and fries and I ordered a selection of 4 empanadas (2 chopped cheese, 1 Korean pork, and 1 vegan esquites). My empanadas were delicious although I didn't care for the esquites one as much as the other three. My partners burger and fries came out cold unfortunately but I was told it had good flavor.Overall, a decent spot if you like beer and activities!“

“Beer was great overall. Had a flight of Hazy IPAs. Didnt care for the Sour beer though. Music was overly oud on Thursday night (clubbish levels) and filled with younger folks not the typical Brewery clientele I'm used to seeing elsewhere.“

“This is my favorite brewery in Brooklyn! They have tons of fun events (follow them on Instagram to keep up), like record fairs. They're dog friendly and I've never had a bad beer here. They're currently doing "brulee beers," meaning they use a Bierstacheln (essentially a hot poker) to caramelize the sugars and create a delicious warm foam on top of your cold beer. This was my first experience with a brulee beer and it was absolutely worth the try! I loved it with the "last of the steam powered trains" stout; it really brings out the sugars.“

“Really nice brewery.Very cool spot with a modern industrial vibe.Came in with some friends to try a flight and liked the beers, although they were good; not great.Server was well informed. Lots of seating and they also have a bunch of board games to play while you’re there.“
