Twin Elephant Brewing Company

Located in Chatham, New Jersey, Twin Elephant Brewing Company is a small-batch craft brewery celebrated for its fresh, handcrafted ales and lagers. Their brewing philosophy centers on offering a diverse and high-quality variety of beers, utilizing locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. While they have a fondness for classic beer styles, Twin Elephant is also known for its experimental and hop-forward offerings, particularly its IPAs, alongside a range of sours, stouts, pilsners, and fruit beers. The brewery emphasizes a “fresh batch” approach, which can sometimes mean popular beers sell out quickly.   

• Wide Beer Variety: Twin Elephant offers a rotating tap list that showcases diverse styles, from hazy IPAs and robust stouts to crisp pilsners and unique experimental brews. They are well-regarded for their hop-forward beers like “Lil’ Shimmy Ye’” (Pale Ale), “True Believer” (American IPA), and the “Nosh” and “Gathering Clouds” IPA series.   
• Quality and Freshness: A core principle is the freshness of their beer, brewed in small batches to ensure quality.
• Community Focus & Vibe: Reviews frequently praise the friendly and welcoming staff and the overall positive “vibe” of the brewery. They aim to create an environment where the community can gather and enjoy creative brews.
