About Mike

After moving to an area with less craft beer than I was used to, I decided to build a website to find local places with beer. It's time to explore New Jersey. I love IPAs and Pale Ales too and own the website.

    I can't wait to visit 21st Amendment! Ever since I visited their location in San Fran I've been a huge fan. I love their art style. Hell or High Watermelon, and Brew Free or Die are some of my favorite brews. Thank God Super Saver in Somerville, NJ always has a supply.

    My husband and I are excited about Doc's Cider. Liz A

    I think I am most interested in tasting some Cricket Hill..its a local brewery that is on the rise.

  6. Daryl Meek January 16, 2012 at 8:16 pm #

    I'm excited about Victory. I'm a huge fan of their stuff, would be great to meet the people behind brewing it, face to face!

  7. @Brian_Alt January 16, 2012 at 8:18 pm #

    So many good ones, but I'm going to go with Firestone Walker.

    Looking forward to seeing what Allagash and Firestone Walker are bringing to the festival!

    There are so many outstanding breweries coming. If I had to choose just one it would have to Leinenkugel, the makers of one of my favorite beers: Sunset Wheat.

  13. Michael Cieri January 16, 2012 at 8:39 pm #

    Pumped to try out some different stuff from Victory! Should be a great time with some great beer!

  14. James H January 16, 2012 at 8:43 pm #

    PBR! Just kidding. Really a hard decision – I missed Firestone Walker last year (gone before session 2), Ithaca fresh flower power is amazing, guy from Victory was barely standing by 9:00 but still very cool. I’m going to go with Firestone Walker and hope they bring something special.

    Ps – I’ll get my njcb membership too. Yeah!

  15. carinne January 16, 2012 at 8:44 pm #

    Innis & Gunn! A good barrel aged is always a treat, and I'm hopeful that the Scots have done it right.

  16. Jessica rapoza January 16, 2012 at 9:03 pm #

    I am most excited for unibroue. They never disappoint, and they haven’t made a beer I don’t like.

  17. Zach January 16, 2012 at 9:04 pm #

    Would really like to meet the folks from Firestone Walker.

  18. Frank January 16, 2012 at 9:07 pm #

    Going to go with Boulder.

    Then Firestone Walker

    As a huge cider fan, I would love to try the different companies that offer, other than Magners (already know I love it), specifically Blackthorn Cider.

  21. @misfit January 16, 2012 at 9:35 pm #

    All of them! Last year I attended but was a designated driver so I couldn't taste any of the beers. If I had to pick one, I'd select Southampton Ale & Lagers.

  22. michelle w-n January 16, 2012 at 9:52 pm #

    I'm most excited about Allagash Brewery…recently tried their triple golden ale and it was amazing! I'm also looking forward to the local NJ brewery, Cricket Hill….

  23. @SirMikeJeckel January 16, 2012 at 9:58 pm #

    i always love a good unibroue thought id love to say tommyknocker (still need to get more familiar with them) AND Wells & Young's Brewing Co. since i missed out on them last year

  24. Linda January 16, 2012 at 10:18 pm #

    We are planning a family/friends ("the more the merrier") trip to Ireland next year, so I'd love to check out Magners – although, I'm not a cider officianado, I'd like to sample what they have and see if I can't be swayed… Hubby's looking forward to TommyKnocker, since their brews usually Knock his Tommy's off! LOL

    I’m looking forward to Unibroue and Allagash

  26. dirty gert January 17, 2012 at 8:38 am #

    Unibroue was at the first Philly Craft Beer fest, and they brought a vertical of their anniversary beers. I think I sampled five different years in a row, and noted how aging changes the flavors (flavours). They probably won’t make that mistake again, but it is the fondest memory of any beer event I’ve been to and I’ve been loyal to them since.

  27. Magnj January 17, 2012 at 8:53 am #

    Tough choice between Paulaner and Mythos. Excited to have fresh samples from both.

  28. Tepifan January 17, 2012 at 9:01 am #

    Allagash

  29. John Fearon January 17, 2012 at 9:40 am #

    Can not wait to see Long Trail. One of the best craft breweries that always give back to the community, especially after all the hardships last year (the flood). They deserve the support and we always look forward to visiting them.

  30. Mark January 17, 2012 at 3:51 pm #

    NJCB member, twitter and facespace since the launch party coppermine! Looking forward to a lot of brewers that weren’t there in the fall but especially excited about the reserve series tappings from Cricket Hill.

  31. Jim January 17, 2012 at 4:29 pm #

    Cricket Hill is a nice brew. Can’t wait to try a burbon barrel aged beer from them.

  32. Jim January 17, 2012 at 4:30 pm #

    Cricket Hill is a nice brew. Can’t wait to try a burbon barrel aged beer from them. Thanks NJCB !

  33. Jim January 17, 2012 at 5:01 pm #

    Can’t wait for Cricket Hill Burboun Barrel Aged Brew !

  34. Drew January 18, 2012 at 9:38 am #

    Def can't wait to meet some of the folks from 21st Amendment. Every beer they make is solid, esp Monks blood/fireside chat/ and the awesome allies win the war!. They're creative and dedicated, and not too flashy.

  35. Scott January 19, 2012 at 9:31 am #

    Asahi by far. I am currently trying to develop do Eastern Asian inspired brew recipes for ChoLon Bistro in Denver and could learn a lot from what these guys have to offer.

  36. Erik January 19, 2012 at 4:36 pm #

    Can't wait to try some heavy seas. Haven't had them yet and love the pirate theme!
