Wet Ticket Brewing: A Taste of Prohibition-Era Charm in Rahway, NJ

Step into Wet Ticket Brewing in Rahway, New Jersey, and you’re stepping into a celebration of craft beer with a nod to history.

Key Features that Make Wet Ticket a Destination:

• Diverse and Consistently Evolving Tap List: With typically 16 beers on tap, Wet Ticket ensures there’s something for every palate. While they excel in hop-forward New England IPAs like their “Trolley Hopper” and “Fully Juiced,” they also offer a wide range of styles including German Ales, Wheat Ales (their “Tastes Like Summer Watermelon Wheat” is a seasonal favorite!), Sours, Märzen, Kölsch, and rich Porters and Stouts. They pride themselves on adapting their offerings based on customer feedback and seasonal availability.

An eye-catching metal-topped bar adds a sleek touch.
