New Jersey’s First Farm Brewery Is Unexpectedly Awesome

New Jersey's Screamin' Hill Brewery offers farm-to-glass brews using homegrown ingredients on a 100-acre farm.

New Jersey's craft beer scene is booming - we've got one of the best in the country and it's only getting better. We're also the Garden State, home to almost 800,000 acres of farmland. It makes perfect sense that we'd combine two of our greatest treasures, farm breweries weren't a thing...until 2015.

What is a farm brewery? It's simple - a brewery that harvests most of its ingredients on-site.

Screamin' Hill Brewery was New Jersey's first farm brewery, opened about four years ago.

Here, you'll find fantastic farm-to-glass brews utilizing home grown hops, barley, wheat, rye, pumpkins, tomatoes, basil, and habaneros.

Located on the 100-acre preserved Bullock Farms, their selection includes Blood Orange Pale Ale, Vanilla Stout, and American Wheat (among others).

The brewery is open on Fridays from 3 p.m. - 8 p.m. and on Saturdays from 1 p.m. - 6 p.m.. Come to take a tour, sample beer, and meet the farm dogs!

Visitors are welcome to bring their own food. You can find Screamin' Hill Brewery at 83 Emley's Hill Road, Cream Ridge.
