Lunacy Brewing Company

Cool little spot. Good IPAs. Really should give you a pint for the 5 bucks, but, hey… I guess I get the need for cash.

This is a great little brewery. Nice selection, I’ve had their porter, blonde and double IPA. All were delicious. The owners are great guys and happy to see everyone that walks in the door. You have to check this place out!

Very nice atmosphere! What you see is what you get. The 1 hour time we spent there was very nice. Love 90% of the beer they had on tap. Definitely a place we will return too. Hard to find if not familiar with area. Just remember if u pass Lowe’s u went to far. Right across from the store!

Very small brewery. It’s definitely difficult to find. The first time we went, we couldn’t find it at all, but looked on Facebook and realized they were closed.
The second time, we lucked out. They had signs, but it’s behind a huge abandoned building. They have about 10 beers on tap. You can get $ 5 pints or $ 2-​$ 3 shorties which are 4 oz pours. I got the Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout and the Pumpkin Ale. The Chocolate PB Stout was delicious! The boyfriend said it’s probably better than DuClaw’s Chocolate PB Beer. The Pumpkin Ale was okay, not too strong on the Pumpkin flavor which is unique. The boyfriend tried a few beers: Double IPA, Bourbon Vanilla Ale, and Blonde Ale. All were delicious, I really liked the Blonde Ale. The Bourbon Vanilla Ale didn’t have any Bourbon taste or smell, it had a hint of vanilla at end.
They have nice outside patio area with a bunch of seating and some games, it’s enclosed and has a fire pit.
We’d probably only come back to get growler fills.

What a great little brewery.
My fiancé and I came here to waste some time this past Saturday and we really enjoyed ourselves. It can be a little bit of an adventure to find (it is located behind the Lowe’s in what looks to be a semi-​industrial space). However, even though it looks a little sketchy, keep going and you will be rewarded with great beer!
The brewery itself is an open garage with a bar in the back and a few little tables and bar stools along the bar. There is a nice outdoor space with room for cornhole or horseshoes and some picnic tables which is great while the weather is nice.
It seemed like everyone who gathered at Lunacy was a group of friends hanging out at your friends garage who happened to brew beer. The staff was friendly, and we were served right upon arriving. No food here (NJ has weird laws). However, there were philly soft pretzels on the bar available for snacking and you can order food in while enjoying your time at the brewery.
Major points to the mosaic pale ale, it was delicious! The lunacy IPA is also a solid choice. The stout was kicked when we got there, which was a disappointment, but we are looking forward to trying other styles of beer from them in the future.
The space is a little small and the beer list only includes 6 – 8 beers, but everything we tasted was quality, which is what really matters!
Will definitely be returning, can’t wait to see what these guys brew up next ;)

I really adore this place.
Been coming here since before their grand opening. The beer selection is small but consistent and they usually have a surprise beer on tap — like them on FB and they post their tap list for the week.
The place is small and hard to find… trust the GPS — it’s right across from the Lowes. I love that it’s stealth. They keep making small changes to the place to spruce it up. Very cool. Even an outside area for the kids.
They play awesome music — rock/​metal fans will be content.
The people are great — friendly, super cool.
Their marketing/​swag/​logo is superb.
There’s no food technically on site, but that’s to be expected — it’s a brewery, not a brew pub. Weird liquor laws in NJ, but you can bring food and chill.
And the beer is killer. Love the new Mosaic Pale Ale. Staples for me are the IPA, the DIPA, Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout, and the Belgian (which is a half sour) — which is basically their whole line up. :). I am anxiously awaiting the return of the Baltic Porter…

The first thing you need to realize is that this is a very small operation. They have made the place look nice, but at the end of the day, it is in a warehouse surrounded by razor wire. If you can get past the outside appearance, the beer is great! The tasting room gives you a nice place to try the beers. They will do a flight so you can try a small amount of all the beers. It is worth trying if you are a fan of craft beers! I imagine this is how breweries like Flying Fish started. I think these guys are going places!!!

I am a beer geek, my wife isn’t and we both enjoyed this place.
As other reviewers have mentioned, this place is really small. But, when I was there, they had 8 beers on tap, which is enough. They had stapes, an IPA, DIPA, West Coat IPA (my fav.), a Belgian Blonde, ect an a few curve balls, like a chocolate peanut butter porter (mellow, not sweet, my wife’s fav). Every beer was well done, without the alkaline taste that you sometime gets from super small breweries. There is enough variety there for every beer lover in your party to find something they like.
The owners/​bar tenders were very attentive and willing to discuss their beer. I found that refreshing as that isn’t the case with many breweries in NJ have outgrown that. Mine, Mike (I think) talked with me about the methodology behind a few of the beers for almost 15 minutes.
Pro tip — The are hard to find as their sign is small and the entrance non descript (they said they were getting a new sign in near future). The enterance is directly across from a side entrance to Lowes. Pull in park on the right and walk around the corner for the brewery.

I can whole-​heartedly say that we are so lucky that this place popped up in our little town.
The brewery and tasting room are located in what I can only describe as a two car garage that has really grown on me. Every time you stop in there is something new. The spot is expanding, having just opened this past December. The outside area is really inviting and feels like being at a buddy’s backyard bash. Very casual and the vibes are always great.
They usually have five different brews on tap that are all delicious. I’m an IPA girl, so I usually go for the Lunacy IPA or the Sanitarium double IPA. There’s usually something new and interestng on the 6^th tap, as well– the coffee stout has been my favorite.
The thing that really keeps us coming back are the people. Not just the dudes that work there who are all very knowledgable, fun and hilarious, but their friends and family who are always around, as well. It’s been a great way to meet some really nice locals, too. I have never went there and left without a smile on my face.
Great place, great people, and most importantly, killer brews!

Our 3^rd stop on a day of NJ breweries and a solid finish to the day!
We sat on their patio at the picnic table and finished off sandwiches bought earlier in the day and sampled their brews via $ 2 Shorties that were the perfect size to test out new beer.
The gents at the bar were very nice, and the place was busy; the entire length of our stay people were trickling in to stay. Their setup is a bit rustic, but wasn’t without its charms.
Being a lover of all beers dark & stormy, I enjoyed their Rocket Chocolate Peanut Butter Stout, and their Belgian Blonde was decent too. Their Pale Ale was just okay. I would certainly stop again to try new beers.

A teeny-​tiny brewery, tucked in the back of what appears to be an industrial park? Sure, why not?
I visited here while cruising around on a particularly warm day in April, after having stopped over at Forgotten Boardwalk. Since Lunacy was only a quick hop away, we ventured over… and promptly drove right past the place. Making a quick U-​Turn and nearly passing it again, I caught a quick glance of their signage — a small black sign on a barbed-​wire fence. For those who haven’t been here yet — if you see a parking lot that looks more like a loading dock for trucks at a warehouse, you’re probably in the right place.
This brewery is *TINY*. No, seriously, I’m not kidding, it’s miniscule by every definition of the word. The tasting room /​brewery is combined in one room, about the size of a two car garage. Yes, that includes tables, the bar, the brewhouse, etc. The plus side is that the main entrance is sliding warehouse door, so it gives you a little more open space to mingle, as long as the weather is nice. Staffed by about 3 – 4 guys, the beers were flowing, and they even had a few freebie snack items laying around to cleanse the palate a bit. No flights, here — although they offer «small size» glasses for $ 2, and full pints for. I think it was $ 4 or $ 5, I forget. Either way, very affordable.
When I went, there was about 5 beers on tap, 3 of which were IPA /​Pale Ales, a chocolate peanut butter porter, and a belgian blonde. I think my favorite of the bunch was probably the double IPA, with a close second being the blonde. While I’m usually a huge fan of porters, stouts, and flavored porters — the chocolate peanut butter just… didn’t really hit home with me, kind of like a high school band, it had all the instruments, but wasn’t really playing in harmony. Still drinkable, though. The staff and owners are really nice folks, happy to explain their entire operation, the brews, and history of their brewery. Also, as stated earlier, although the place is kind of tiny, I like the atmosphere, since it’s a great way to meet and chat with other craft beer aficionados.
Was I blown away by any of the beers here? Nah, but that’s fine — they literally just opened a few months ago (as of this writing), and what they *do* have is very drinkable, very tasty brews. I’ll be back here in the summer, probably a good few times.

Just ok ! Off to the side of a Factory and across the street from a Lowes ! The beer is just average nothing really to write home about ! The layout of the brewery seemed to be pieced together with what ever they can find ! Maybe next time this place might change my mind !

Stop #2 on our quest to visit NJ breweries. This stop wasn’t planned but I’m so glad we came here. This had the smallest tasting area (we were in a 2 car garage) but also the most engaging. The servers were awesome, very nice, extremely knowledgeable, and fun. The bar was a little crowded so we shared a table with another couple. Fun people and very easy to talk to. There is an outdoor seating area as well but the garage door was open so it was sitting like outside even though we were inside. The warehouse part (where the bathroom is located) is enormous.
The beer was great! They don’t offer a flight but you can sample their beers by buying 4 ounce glasses for $ 2. We tried a Belgian style ale, a vanilla cream ale and a peanut butter chocolate porter. We had a hard time deciding on a favorite, but I’m always drawn to anything chocolate and peanut butter.
Will be on the lookout for these guys at the local bars and if in the area again will sample some more and maybe pick up a growler.

Cool concept. Decent brews. Could use a touch of customer service. At this writing, Lunacy is the newest brewery to open its doors in NJ. I totally dug the atmosphere, enjoyed the beers, and could see this place take off. Allow me to elaborate…
This brewery is housed within a small room in a very big warehouse. Upon entering, you will feel like you are drinking in your buddy’s garage. There are couches, a couple of tables, and of course the bar. We started off with a sampler and tried the five beers that they had on tap. The beers were pretty standard — Pale Ale, IPA, Belgian Blonde. My favorite ended up being their Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter.
There were about four guys working when we were there, who I assume are the owners. Although the staff was friendly, they all seemed pretty pre-​occupied talking to other friends and amongst each other. The place was busy, yet not completely packed. I would’ve liked to have talked to them a little more about the brewery and their future plans. On most occasions, the brewers or staff at almost any NJ brewery will talk with you, ask you how you like the beer, and be super appreciative of your business. I just didn’t get that vibe here and aside from the atmosphere, didn’t get the warmest welcome.
From my understanding, these guys have been working their tails off to meet the demand and even ran out of beer the first few weeks they were open. I wish them luck and hope that when I come back, I can try some new brews and learn more about their brewery.

I enjoyed this brewery. It’s somewhat tucked away and hard to find due to a lack of advertisement, but I think it adds to the vibe of this place.
Walked in on a Friday night around 8pm and there was a nice crowd already there. The service was prompt and friendly; the brewery was cozy and welcoming; the beer was tasty, plentiful, and reasonably priced.

Waited 10 minutes for a beer. Granted they were a little busy for opening day, but when you serve 3 couples who walk next to you and get served first before you’re acknowledged it just pain RUDE!!! I’ve been to clubs in AC and Philly, 6 rows deep and still got served faster. We weren’t even looked at by 4 different bartenders.

Decent beer but they are assholes about growlers. They said they were selling 10 dollar 32oz growlers but they wont sell them because they were afraid of Running out of beer. I asked to pay for 2 pints to fill my growler but they said no (but they would let me buy 2 pints wtf!!!). Fuck them they suck.
