The New Jersey craft beer boom is still ... booming.
The state saw a 43 percent growth in its craft beer industry between 2015 and 2018, according to the research company C+R. New Jersey tied with Kentucky to have more brewery growth than any other state during those years.
In 2020, we're hardly slowing down. Here are the yet-to-open breweries you should keep your eyes on in North Jersey.
Seven Tribesmen Brewery, Wayne
Seven Tribesmen Brewery is named after the seven allied nomadic tribes of old in Hungary — a reference to the owners’ Hungarian ancestry. According to marketing manager Imre Varga, the beers offered at Seven Tribesman will be varied (stouts, IPAs, ales and more) and rotate regularly. Seven Tribesmen is located in the former space of The Woodworker gallery in Wayne. Construction is underway to complete the taproom. Expect plenty of design references to ancient times, such as hand-carved wooden tap handles in the style of Szeklerland gravemarkers. 1151 State Route 23, Wayne; 7tribesmen.com.
Double Tap Brewing, Whippany
John Coyle, Todd Townsend, Chris Mock, Jared Dougherty and Jeff Mauriello all met through MASH, Morris County’s homebrewers society. Each specializes in a different style of beer – Coyle in Belgian-style beers, Townsend in drinkable cream ales, Mock in stouts and porters, Dougherty in interesting IPAs and Mauriello in European lagers (“He can make them better than anyone else,” said Coyle.) So, they decided to use their combined knowledge to open a brewery.
They’re about to begin transforming an old post office in Hanover Township that has been vacant since the 60s into Double Tap Brewing.
The name is a reference to a Benjamin Franklin (who you might recall was the first postmaster general) quote: “[New Jersey is like] a beer barrel, tapped at both ends, with all the live beer running into Philadelphia and New York.” The team at Double Tap has been collecting post office antiques to bring the theme to the decor.
Though there’s no official opening date yet, Coyle hopes to open Double Tap around Memorial Day. 50 Parsippany Road, Whippany; 973-801-0454, facebook.com/DoubleTapBrewing.
Newark Local Beer, Newark
Newark Local Beer has made its home in a 6,300-square-foot space in the Walker House in Newark, a newly restored Art Deco building designed by architect Ralph Thomas Walker in the 20s. Husband-and-wife owners Steve and Miller Hughes hope to make Newark Local Beer a family-friendly brewery (they have two kids). Ten rotating taps with eclectic brews that span from IPAs to stouts to ales will be available.
Steve started out as a home-brewer, then went on to work at a brewery in Maryland. At his own brewery, Steve plans to experiment with yeasts, hops and unique flavors to create interesting, non-conventional brews, he says. Live music, yoga lessons, themed sports nights and other events are also in the plans when Newark Local Beer opens in late spring. 540 Broad St., Newark; 973-856-2234, newarklocalbeer.com.

Bull N Bear Brewery, Summit
William Dodge worked in finance before he decided to turn his home brewing hobby into a business. The name Bull N Bear comes from “bull and bear markets” – a bull market is one that is on the rise, a bear market is one that's dipping. The beers on tap will run the gamut. Dodge is a lover of Belgian beer, his head brewer loves beer from Germany and the British Isles, and his assistant brewer is big on IPAs. “I want this to be an educational spot, where people can try different things,” said Dodge.
Bull N Bear is on track to open in April or May. 425 Springfield Ave., Summit; bullnbearbrewery.com.
Glenbrook Brewery, Morristown
Drawing from Morristown’s rich Revolutionary War history, Glenbrook Brewery — the town’s first brewery — will feature a Revolutionary War theme. Head brewer Heath Traver has been working on beers with names such as Colonial Ale, Jockey Hollow Pumpkin Ale, Ford Mansion Basement Barrel Stout, Fort No-Nonsense IPA and Jacob Arnold Porter – names that should be familiar to residents of Morristown. Owner Darren Cregan also plans to commission a mural of a Colonial soldier to decorate the wall at the two-floor brewery.
Glenbrook Brewery is set to open in the spring of 2020. 95 Morris St., Morristown; facebook.com.
Lions Roar Brewing Co., Westfield
Tim Grant started home-brewing after getting a brewing kit for Father’s Day. A few years later, he and wife, Corinne, Westfield residents. decided to open a brewery: Lions Roar Brewing Co. The Grants are fans of European-style beer but will offer a variety of different brews.
“We always thought something was missing in the town. So it was a great fit," said Corinne. "We planted roots here, so we thought, let’s go all in. Let’s roll the dice.”
The industrial-chic, 750-square-feet taproom holds 38 seats and has an 800-square-foot outdoor beer garden with gazebos. The Grants hope to make Lions Roar — named after their son Jackson’s roaring cries when he was a baby — a hang-out spot for community members and parents looking for a place to relax. According to Corrine, Lions Roar will most likely open in the spring.517-519 S. Ave. W., Westfield; lionsroarbrewing.com.
Five Dimes, Westwood
The folks behind Five Dimes Brewery have submitted business plans to Westwood or approval to begin construction. If approved, Five Dimes Brewery will be located at the former five and dime store (hence the name) called L.N. Grand at 246 Westwood Ave.
