A new craft brewer is making waves on the North Jersey beer scene. Magnify Brewing Company, located in Fairfield, NJ, is putting the state on the national map for high-quality and experimental beers.
The brewing process at Magnify involves a combination of the traditional brewing methods of the past and contemporary techniques that use ingredients like American hops and other locally grown or produced ingredients. The brewery has a variety of beers, including year-round, seasonal and special releases, available at their taproom or in bottles and cans.
Magnify is a small, family-owned brewer, founded in 2015 by Eric Ruta, who had been working with a small, well-respected brewery in Portland, Maine. When he returned home, Ruta decided to open his own brewery in the region, bringing that excitement and community that he had been experiencing while living in Maine back home to New Jersey.
While exploring the booming craft beer scene in Maine, Ruta was inspired by the community and world class beer that he was experiencing there. He wanted to bring some of that feeling and beer back home to his home in northern New Jersey.
Initially, he had trouble getting anyone to take him seriously when he started his business in 2015. He did not have the experience or knowledge of beer and the business that other breweries had so he had to put in a lot of work, including doing his own sales.
He eventually got a space and a license. He then began pitching his beers to local bars.
After a year of success, Magnify moved into a bigger brewery and expanded its barrel-aging program. Currently, they have five brews on tap and have plans to double that number in 2018.
In addition to their year-round beers, they also make specialty beers, such as their Mosaic-hopped IPAs and breakfast-inspired ales. Their beers are available in stores and restaurants across the state.
They also have a tasting room where you can try their beers and talk with other beer lovers. During their weekly tasting sessions, you can learn more about the beers that they make and talk with the brewers about what it takes to brew.
The best way to enjoy a beer is to share it with friends. At Magnify Brewing Company, you can enjoy their beers with your friends or family in their cozy taproom. Their tasting room is filled with comfortable furniture and plenty of seating to relax.
Their brewery has a variety of beers on tap, including their popular Vine Shine IPA. You can enjoy a pint or two and then sit back to relax with your friends and talk about your day.
This brewing company is dedicated to sustainability, as well as producing new, small-batch beers every 4-6 weeks. Their tasting room is always full of people who love beer and are happy to chat about what’s happening at the brewery.
Magnify’s year-round beers include their signature Vine Shine IPA, Search Saison and Low Visibility Pale Ale. You can also try their Black Wheat beer, which is a complex and unique beer that is made with black wheat.
