That's when I knew that Richmond Farm & Brewery was absolutely the right choice to host the party. The words were spoken to me by Tracy, the event planner, hostess, server and bartender that I had been working with for the past few months planning my event. From our first informational meeting to when it came time to pay the bill, Tracy approached the entire process with understanding, simplicity and professionalism. She answered all of my questions and presented many possible options to make the event a success. Every one of the 59 guests who attended our event commented positively about the setting, staff, food, drinks and service. The word "amazing" was mentioned frequently by the party guests and they agreed that it was indeed epic. I would highly recommend RFB for anyone planning an event.

This week, we were here on a rainy Monday afternoon and sat inside which was cozy and perfect! Since it's October, the Oktoberfest menu is out. I started off with an Oktoberfest beer brewed locally, then my wife and I split the Fried Pickle appetizer. For entrees, we stayed German...I had the Konigsberger Klopse (German Meatballs) and my wife had Wienerschnitzel. We shared both dishes, but my favorite was the Wienerschnitzel served with Spatzle. Delicious! Our server was super friendly and very helpful with the menu. We won't wait 8 years to come back here, this is a really nice brewery and restaurant!

It's categorized on Untapped as a nano-brewery. One step smaller than a micro brewery I guess.

What is outstanding to us is the care which all the staff and brewers show as they are there. Clearly the same love is widespread as the place was full on a Sunday afternoon. It is pleasing that many were there with their kids showing that this local business gives to the whole of the community. The enjoyment of brewing has moved past mere pub secrecy out to the whole of the community. A long calendar of events of all types from pub trivia to local music to sponsoring fellow food, eateries and holidays are all helpful to promote the family warranted nature of this business as it's clear with a large number of newborns and families as might be unusual and yet should be normalized. All staff are knowledgeable in the brewing and hospitality skills to succeed now and for the long run. Point of sale systems are able to keep open a tab and clearly distinguish ongoing bills. The marketing keeps rights with the sign ups of emails and keeping customer histories. Branding is consistent and relevant leading to a nice, smooth, comfortable customer experience. The two bathrooms are both individual and there are plenty of amenities like nooks and crannies the chat in and coat hooks and ledges and more private corners and food trucks rotate thru the good seasons and lots of lovely people always. Cheers!

Oakflower, just opened in 2022, was recommended time and time again, so we made this our first stop. I'm pleased to say it absolutely lived up to the hype. You can tell a brewery is serious about their beer when they don't offer flights or any kind of flavored seltzers. They are concentrating on making the best beer they can and it shows. 11 beers on tap with lots of hazy ales, a dangerously good 12.8% barrel aged stout, and a pale ale on nitro which I don't think I have ever seen before. We did a few tasters and a few full pours and everything we tried was fantastic. The taproom is spacious, airy, lots of plants and natural light which gave it a relaxed vibe. It was a Friday afternoon and was pleasantly full, with some of the bartenders passionately talking New York sports with some of the regulars. The friendly employees, the amazing beer, the well designed taproom, its location right across from an old train station in quaint downtown Millington... all of this together made for a perfect first visit. We live too far away to come back anytime soon, but we bought some beer to go to tide us over, and will definitely mention Oakflower to others when asked for brewery recommendations in North Jersey.

STOUTFEST! Ok, to…read morebe fair, I've been to Czig Meister 3-4 times already, but after STOUTFEST I realized I hadn't reviewed. Wifey and I LOVE this place. Always have a great selection of beer and the servers are all really knowledgeable. For STOUTFEST, they started with 24 different stouts, plus they had seven other options. Good friend of mine and I went and got there early so we didn't taste any of the substitutes once kegs were kicked. I tried ten of the stouts and while I'm not usually one to drink the sweeter sounding fru-fru flavors, the few I tried were actually NOT super sweet, but just gave a hint of the flavors. I was really impressed. I thought perhaps the weather would keep people away (it was cold and snowing), but they packed the place. I was very impressed with the efficiency of the event and the crowd never seemed to complain of the line got a little long. A great event at a great brewery!

The bartender was very friendly and when my wife was unsure about what to get, she asked my wife what she usually drinks and recommended several options. My wife wound up going with the Mexican lager (Tres Payasos) while I chose to do a flight (which I typically do when visiting a brewery for the first time). My flight consisted of: 1) Cool Story M - blonde ale 2) Death Bossa Nova - dark lager 3) Maibock - bock/maibock (partially ordered because the name sounds like the car) 4) Wystouti - stout After the flight, I also got a half pour of their Mexican amber lager - Payaso Oscuro. We were there in between lunch and dinner so we did not have any food with our beer. Overall, a very pleasant experience. We plan to return in the future.
