Diamond Spring Brewing Company

Diamond Spring Brewing Company: Denville’s Community Oasis

Nestled in the heart of downtown Denville, Diamond Spring Brewing Company offers a vibrant and welcoming experience for craft beer lovers. While the name “Diamond Spring Brewery” has historical roots dating back to 1912 in Massachusetts, the current Diamond Spring Brewing Co. in Denville is a modern craft brewery established by co-owners Chrissy and Craig Doremus, aiming to open in Summer 2023. It quickly became a local favorite, known for its unique “on-demand” brewing model and lively atmosphere.

Key Features that Make Diamond Spring Shine:

• On-Demand Brewing Model: Operating in a compact 1,500-square-foot historical building, Diamond Spring maximizes its space with a unique brewing approach. They fit five barrels, with supplies arriving weekly for continuous brewing. This ensures a constant flow of fresh beer, with new batches fermenting as the previous week’s supply the taproom. This efficient model allows them to keep a diverse and rotating selection on tap.
• Expansive Outdoor Beer Garden: Despite the cozy indoor taproom, Diamond Spring boasts a massive 6,000-square-foot outdoor beer garden. This “beachy retreat” features numerous umbrella-covered picnic tables, Adirondack chairs, and an outdoor drink ledge, creating a relaxed and inviting space, especially in warmer weather.
• Dog and Family-Friendly: The beer garden is explicitly welcoming to well-behaved dogs and children, making it a great spot for a relaxed outing with the whole family.
• Diverse Beer Selection: Their tap list typically features 9-10 beers and a hard seltzer. While they rotate offerings, you can often find a range of styles including juicy New England IPAs like “Mahalo” (with coconut!), crisp lagers like “Desert Stroll,” West Coast IPAs like “Lakeside,” and unique seasonal brews. They also craft their own delicious, non-alcoholic root beer.
• Bring Your Own Food & Local Partnerships: As per NJ brewery regulations, Diamond Spring doesn’t serve food. However, they are conveniently located amidst over 35 local eateries in downtown Denville. They encourage patrons to bring in their own food and even offer “food runners” during peak hours to assist with pickups from nearby restaurants, fostering a strong community connection.
• Chic and Modern Vibe: Departing from typical industrial brewery aesthetics, the interior design is described as elevated and chic, aiming for a Manhattan-esque ambiance.
