Opportunity Brewing Company: Crafting Your Next Favorite in New Jersey

Opportunity Brewing Company, established in 2018, stands as a testament to the thriving New Jersey craft beer scene. With a philosophy rooted in the idea of seizing every “opportunity,” they focus on crafting small-batch traditional Irish Ales and Stouts alongside a diverse range of American-style Ales and Lagers.

Key Features for the Craft Beer Enthusiast:

Irish-American Craft Focus: Opportunity Brewing Co. prides itself on its unique blend of heritage, incorporating imported malt from Ireland to deliver authentic Irish flavors, while also embracing the innovation of American craft brewing. This dual identity offers a compelling and varied selection.
Small-Batch Production: As a production brewery, Opportunity Brewing Company emphasizes quality over quantity, producing small batches that allow for meticulous attention to detail and a constantly evolving beer list. This means you’ll often find fresh and interesting offerings.
Collaborative Spirit: They operate with a strong collaborative ethos, partnering with and contracting through established local craft breweries and brewers. This allows them to create exciting new brews and leverage shared expertise, truly embodying the “opportunity” in their name.
No Fixed Tasting Room (Yet!): Unlike many breweries with a dedicated taproom, Opportunity Brewing Co. currently operates as a production brewery that partners with local bars, restaurants, and package stores to get their beers to you. This means you’ll need to seek out their brews at various locations, offering a bit of a treasure hunt for the adventurous beer drinker. They do express a desire to open their own tasting room in the future.
Diverse Beer Styles: Their portfolio includes a range of styles, from robust Irish Dry Stouts like “Sligo Stout” to hop-forward New England IPAs such as “Hunterdon Haze” and “Ocean Haze,” and American IPAs like “Irish Amnesia.” They also feature seasonal offerings, like “Seisiún” and “Sun Screen” for summer.
Local Ingredient Sourcing: Opportunity Brewing Co. shows a commitment to local resources by sourcing some of their hops locally in Hunterdon County, partnering with Sky High Hops, a Jersey Fresh Designation Hop Farm.

Regular Events:

Since Opportunity Brewing Company currently operates without its own public taproom, their “events” primarily revolve around new beer releases and tap takeovers or special features at their partner locations. To stay informed about where to find their latest brews and any special promotions, following their social media channels and checking their website for announcements is crucial.
