Icarus Brewing Company: Soaring to New Heights in Brick, NJ

Icarus Brewing Company, founded in January 2017 by brewmaster Jason Goldstein, has quickly established itself as a titan in the New Jersey craft beer scene. Originally making waves in Lakewood, Icarus officially spread its wings and moved into a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in Brick Township in June 2024, offering an even grander experience for beer enthusiasts. True to its namesake, Icarus dares to push boundaries, constantly experimenting with flavors and techniques to reach new heights in brewing.
