New Jersey's Premier Hands-On Microbrewery

Choosing your beer

Choosing the right beer is simple. Pick a beer that closest resembles your favorite suds or a beer that's completely different from what you usually drink, something that catches your interest.  We have a huge selection to choose from. We just only put the most popular selections on-line for the public to choose from. We can, usually, make a clone of whatever you need. Unique brews that need special ingredients can be made if you give us notice.

Types of beer

Brew-U offers a variety of beer recipes from light lagers to dark ales. While lagers tend to be lighter in color the range of bitterness could be from near water (think coors lite) to heavily hopped pilsners. Ales generally are maltier and mild in hop flavor.  Some specialty beers are full of hops like ESB's and IPA's.   We also have a few great stout and porter recipes. 

The brewing process

1. Choose your beer recipe from the menu selection.
2. Gather and Weigh your ingredients.
3. Brew in our custom-made Brew Kettles. (staff will assist).
4. Let ferment for 2 weeks.
5. Cold filter and store in keg until bottling.
6. Bottle your beer and take it home.

Bottling and Caring for your beer

Beer will be bottled in classic 12oz. bottles or 22oz. "Bomber-Style" Microbrew bottles.  After your Microbrew is bottled, always store your beer in a cool, dark place. A fridge is ideal. There are NO preservatives in our beers; shelf life is reduced if you store in a warm place. Shelf life is generally 3 to 8 months. 

Our staff can answer all of your questions about the brewing process. Please contact us if you have any additional questions
