Swedesboro Brewing Company (Third State Brewing)

Third State Brewing: A Historical Taproom in Historic Burlington, NJ

Steeped in local history and dedicated to quality craft, Third State Brewing has been a beloved fixture in Historic Burlington, New Jersey, since its founding in June 2015. Owned and operated by founders Bill Pozniak, Jay Mahoney, and John O’Brien, who brought nearly 50 years of combined homebrewing experience to the venture, Third State is aptly named for New Jersey’s place as the third state to ratify the Constitution.

Key Features for the Craft Beer Enthusiast:

• Historic Location: Situated at 352 High Street, just steps from the Riverline stop, Third State Brewing embraces its surroundings. The spacious taproom boasts high ceilings and a clean, inviting atmosphere that reflects the charm of Historic Burlington.
• Diverse Beer Portfolio: With a 7-barrel brewing system, Third State crafts a wide variety of high-quality beers. Expect to find everything from crisp lagers and hop-forward IPAs like their “Pour Visibility” (a NEIPA with Mosaic and Amarillo hops) to rich stouts, saisons, and their distinctive “Boris the Younger Black Rye IPA” – a black beer with a pleasant rye sting.
• Award-Winning Recipes: Their long history of homebrewing has translated into award-winning recipes that consistently impress.
• Acquisition by Swedesboro Brewing Company: Recently, Third State Brewing was acquired by Swedesboro Brewing Company, becoming their third location. While it retains its name, new beers brewed at the Burlington location will now be registered under the Swedesboro Brewing Company Untappd page, promising continued quality and perhaps some exciting new collaborations.
• Community Hub: Third State prides itself on being a local meeting place. The friendly staff and welcoming environment encourage patrons to gather, share stories, and enjoy exceptional beer.
• Private Event Space: The taproom is available for private events, offering a unique setting for gatherings.
