Detailed, down to the last drop!

We're proud to be New Jersey's hometown brewery.

In 2010, a small team of passionate brewers started out in North Bergen and soon grew into one of the state's top craft breweries. Since then, New Jersey Beer Co. has been on a mission to bring you great beer you can be proud to consume.

In 2011, Jersey City real estate developer, Paul Silverman, invested in the brewery. Paul sets the cultural and ethical standards for our business and helps us focus the lens on charitable causes. As a former college fraternity social chairman he loves beer too. You're lucky if you run into him at a Devils game, as he’ s likely to buy you one of our beers while sharing the stories behind them!

In 2020, Steve Gabel was hired on as General Manager, which has allowed him to use his people management and business skills to improve customer and employee satisfaction. Steve handles many of the behind-the-scenes jobs that keep us running smoothly.

Our Brewer, Dave Manka, joined us in 2012. Dave has made hundreds of different beers over his time at NJ Beer Co. Mild mannered, with a dry sense of humor, Dave is the brewery’s MacGyver, always able to fix anything while constantly focusing on processes to improve our beer and make your beer experience better!

Paul Harlan, also known as Harlan, joined the team in 2020. He does a little bit of everything, from recipe creation, helping out with brewing, to selling, and marketing. Want to carry our product? Contact Harlan@njbeerco.com

We pour our New Jersey pride into every pint we produce. Whether you enjoy our beer at home, at a bar, or in the tasting room, we constantly strive to give you the best liquid possible!
