Brewery Profile

New Jersey Beer Co

For visitors exploring North Bergen’s beer scene, this brewery offers a view of a New Jersey-focused craft producer that has been operating since 2010. New Jersey Beer Co. is known for tying its identity closely to the state, both in branding and in distribution, with beers sent to accounts throughout New Jersey. Walking in, a visitor should expect the public-facing side of a working brewery rather than a venue defined by extra attractions or a long list of advertised amenities. Its story includes a 2011 investment from Jersey City real estate developer Paul Silverman, whose role has included helping guide the company’s ethical standards and charitable focus. That local and regional orientation is central to how the brewery presents itself.

Travelers in northern New Jersey often look for brewery stops that feel connected to place, offer a chance to taste beer closer to where it is made, and provide an alternative to the broader bar and restaurant circuit. This stop fits that kind of itinerary because its production history is established, and its beer program has been shaped by people who have worked across brewing, operations, recipe development, sales, and marketing. Head brewer Dave Manka has been in that role since 2012 and is credited with creating hundreds of recipes while also overseeing process improvements in production. In 2020, the management team expanded with General Manager Steve Gabel and brewer Paul Harlan, adding more support to brewing operations and recipe work. Rather than assuming a fixed lineup or specific style focus, visitors should treat the day’s draft list as the most accurate guide to what the brewery is currently emphasizing.

Because public amenities are not specified here, practical planning should start with the brewery’s current visitor information before making a special trip. Confirm hours, whether reservations are needed, age policies, food arrangements, group expectations, and any tour or event details directly with the brewery. The taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, ask what is new, and learn which beers are currently available beyond the brewery through New Jersey distribution. For travelers already spending time in North Bergen or nearby parts of the state, New Jersey Beer Co. can function as a straightforward local brewery visit: a chance to sample from a producer with more than a decade of operation, a state-centered identity, and a brewing team that has continued to develop recipes and production practices over time.
