Tanner Brewing Company

Tanner Brewing Company, located in Haddon Heights, New Jersey, is a craft brewery that pays homage to both traditional brewing and a vibrant, contemporary atmosphere. It aims to be a community hub where people can enjoy expertly crafted beers and make connections.

Specific Features:

• Intimate “local spot” size: The brewery has a more intimate feel, comparable to smaller breweries.
• Two distinct sections: The main tasting room features an L-shaped bar with about 12 seats and various tables. A few steps lead up to a raised rear area housing the 5-barrel brewing system, which also serves as additional customer space with portable bar-height tables in front of the tanks.
• Railroad Theme: The brewery incorporates a railroad theme into its decor and logo, reflecting Haddon Heights’ history. This includes a prominent railroad train style beer menu board.
• Diverse Beer Selection: Tanner Brewing offers a variety of beer styles, often with 10 or more options on tap, including IPAs, pale ales, sours, stouts, lagers, and more. They often feature beers with lower ABVs (many at 5% or less) for “very drinkable” options.
• Canned Beers: They also offer their beers in cans with colorful labels.
• Owner-operated: The brewery is owned by Haddon Heights locals, including Joe Gentile (of Local Links Market Cafe) and head brewers Ray Burr, Matthew Torbik, and Robert Wilson, along with Fabian Brown of Heights In Progress.
• Welcoming Tasting Room: Reviews highlight a welcoming tasting room and top-notch staff.

Regular Events:

• BYO Vinyl Night with Doc’s Finds: Held every Thursday night from 7-9 pm, where patrons can bring their own records to be spun.
• Happy Hour: $1 off all pints between 4-6 pm, Wednesday-Friday.
• Teacher Discounts: Available when they open early on Fridays.
• Live Music: Tanner Brewing frequently hosts local musicians, with events like “Sean & Sienna at Tanner Brewing Co.” and “Beggar’s Pay Trio Returns to Tanner Brewing” listed.
• Community Events: They participate in broader Haddon Heights events such as “Rhythm & Brews” (annual May music and beer festival) and the “Cheer Festival” (holiday event with carriage rides and vendors).
