Cypress Brewing Co.: Edison’s Craft Powerhouse

Cypress Brewing Co., located in Edison, New Jersey, has been a staple of the Garden State’s craft beer scene since it opened its doors on July 1, 2015. What began as a passion project for homebrewers Bill Lutz, Jason Kijowski, and Charles Backmann has evolved into a well-regarded microbrewery known for its diverse and constantly rotating tap list.

Key Features for the Enthusiast:

You’ll find everything from hop-forward IPAs – including New England and West Coast styles – to robust stouts (often with creative adjuncts like coffee, vanilla, or even hot sauce), classic Belgian-inspired ales, crisp lagers, and refreshing sours. They’re not afraid to experiment, offering unique concoctions that keep regulars coming back for more.
