Autodidact Beer: A Quest for Knowledge in Every Pint

Autodidact Beer, with its taproom in Morris Plains (and frequently involved in collaborations and events across NJ), embodies a spirit of continuous learning and experimentation in the craft of brewing. Founded with a deep passion for craft beer, the team at Autodidact approaches each brew as an opportunity to delve into new techniques, ingredients, and styles, resulting in a constantly rotating and meticulously crafted selection.

Key Features for the Discerning Enthusiast:

• Meticulously Crafted Ales and Lagers: Autodidact prides itself on a diverse and evolving tap list. Expect to find a thoughtful selection of hop-forward IPAs and Double IPAs that aim to maximize hop character while remaining balanced and drinkable. Their commitment to lagers is also a highlight, showcasing the subtleties and nuances these often-overlooked styles can offer. They also explore “deep cuts” like bold sours and delicate saisons, catering to adventurous palates.
• Rotating Tap List: The focus here is on discovery. While they feature “flagship” beers that are regularly available, a significant portion of their taps are dedicated to experimental, collaborative, and unique brews that rotate frequently, ensuring there’s always something new to try.
• Autodidact Community Library: A truly unique feature! The taproom boasts a community library where customers can freely browse and borrow books. This reflects their brand’s emphasis on learning and self-education, creating a relaxed and intellectually stimulating atmosphere. They also welcome book donations.
• Bring Your Own Food & Local Delivery Options: While they don’t have an in-house kitchen, Autodidact encourages guests to bring their own food or order from numerous local restaurants. This provides flexibility and allows visitors to customize their culinary experience.
• Family-Friendly (with considerations): Autodidact welcomes children in the taproom, understanding that many craft beer enthusiasts are also parents. They kindly request that parents ensure children are safe, reasonably quiet, and respectful of other guests’ experiences.
• Pet-Friendly Outdoor Space: For those with furry companions, pets are welcome in their outdoor areas, though not inside the taproom as per health regulations (service animals excepted).
• Private Event Hosting: Their space can be utilized for private events and parties, offering a unique setting for gatherings.
