Battle River Brewing: A Taste of History in Toms River

Nestled in the heart of historic Downtown Toms River, Battle River Brewing offers a welcoming haven for craft beer aficionados. Founded by a group of friends and family with a shared passion for great experiences and delicious brews, Battle River Brewing aims to tell the story of Toms River’s Revolutionary War past through its diverse and ever-evolving tap list.

What to Expect:

• Extensive Tap List: With around 27 taps, Battle River Brewing boasts a wide variety of styles to satisfy every palate. From classic West Coast IPAs like their “Patriot IPA” to hazy New England IPAs such as “Warhorse IPA,” you’ll find plenty of hop-forward options. They also excel in traditional styles, with highly-regarded lagers (including a Czech Pilsner and Mexican Lager), brown ales, and sours like “Courthouse Sour Apple.” For those looking beyond beer, they offer a range of hard seltzers, including unique flavors like Cherry Cola and Dragon Fruit, and even non-carbonated hard lemonades and teas.
• Quality Ingredients: Battle River Brewing is committed to using high-quality ingredients, including 100% NJ grown malt from Rabbit Hill Malthouse for some of their brews, showcasing a dedication to local sourcing.
• Dog-Friendly Atmosphere: Bring your furry friend along! Battle River Brewing is proudly dog-friendly, welcoming well-behaved pups inside their cozy taproom and on their spacious outdoor patio, which features picnic tables and barrel high-tops.
• Outside Food Welcome: While they don’t have a kitchen (as a limited brewery license in New Jersey only allows them to serve their own beer), you’re encouraged to bring your own food or order delivery from one of the many local dining options nearby. This makes for a perfect pairing with their brews.
• Brewery Tours: In compliance with NJ state law, patrons can take a self-guided or guided tour of their 7-barrel brewhouse and seven 7-barrel fermenters. You can enjoy one tour per calendar year by signing their registrar.
• Convenient Location: Situated in downtown Toms River, the brewery is often at the center of community events and street festivals, offering a vibrant atmosphere, especially when Main Street is closed for pedestrian access.
