    Pretty sure Village Idiot is the OG brewery in the underrated town of Mt. Holly, which makes it one…read moreof the oldest breweries still operating in South Jersey. Hard to tell exactly when it opened, as their website offers scant information, but they first started posting on Facebook in 2011 if that is anything to go by. They don't have a large footprint in the NJ brewing scene as they don't distribute to any liquor stores or bars/restaurants (they don't even offer beers in cans to go), and they don't do any big events other than the typical karaoke or trivia nights. What they do offer is a nice place to hang out in an old historic building right on the Main Street in the downtown area, and a solid lineup of beers. One thing that makes them stand out is a great selection of beers on nitro. From my experience with NJ breweries, you're lucky to find a single beer on nitro. At Village Idiot there are seven of them, most of them dessert stouts like a cookie butter white stout and a salted caramel milk stout. All that we tried were delicious and not crazy high in ABV like other dessert stouts. Flights are only $10 which is pretty cheap compared to other NJ breweries. Of note is that as of November 2025 they no longer allow outside drinks including water bottles like Nalgenes and Stanley Cups. Too many idiots sneaking in alcohol, according to their social media. Overall it has a bit more of a dive bar vibe only frequented by locals rather than a traditional NJ brewery, but the beer is definitely good enough, and the surrounding Main Street charming and quaint enough that I would definitely return.

    The beers here are solid--my wife especially loves the banana beer. The atmosphere is also a plus:…read moresmall, cozy, and welcoming. Each time we've visited, we've ended up in great conversations with other customers, which adds to the experience. Unfortunately, what keeps this brewery from a higher rating is the bartender. He tends to focus mainly on the regulars, which makes it difficult at times to get his attention. On top of that, his frequent use of colorful language--especially loudly dropping the f-bomb multiple times--took away from the otherwise relaxed vibe. It wasn't said in anger, but the constant repetition was distracting and made the room feel less comfortable for us.

They don't have tequila (heads up). 3-- The outdoor bar and tables. The third is probably the most popular when the weather is warm. Parking is somewhat limited, but there is a large lot across the street. When we were there, a bluegrass band was playing. The bartender was very attentive and spends a lot of time making their creations. For example, the Berry Blast which contains their vodka along with simple syrup, pineapple juice, blackberries and raspberries actually uses quite a bit of real fruit and gets muddled into a tasty cocktail. Most of the prices are in the $10-15 range per drink. I believe you can bring your own food and its possible there may be some food trucks close by.

    This place is so cute and cozy! The inside vibe is perfect to spend some down time here. Their…read moredrinks are really good!! Taste well crafted not like basic bar drinks. I love that you can bring outside food. Theres a huge outside seating area that's well covered with heat lamps for the colder months. They have parking which is a plus.

Every beer I've had has always been competently brewed and has ranged from good to great. Never had a bad beer here, and my God I've had quite a few NJ beers over the years. They don't distribute to bars/restaurants/liquor stores to the best of my knowledge, but they have a wide variety of beers canned and ready to go in their beer fridge. Most recently came here on a Thursday night in August. It was about half full, so not dead but not obnoxiously crowded either. Enjoyed a flight while watching the Phillies (they lost, alas...), and bought two four packs to bring home with me - the backyard copper cream ale and the golden peach ale - which cost $25. Overall a place that flies under the radar in the vast NJ brewing scene, but nice place to hang out with solid beer.

I got Jersey blonde, blood orange copper, pale 42 and sour pineapple (left to right). The blood orange was the best. My friend got the Berry Chaos which was the best one we tried. The place was pretty empty which was nice so we could relax and hear each other talk. There is a nice outdoor area and lots of board games to play. It looks like they host trivia nights and game nights which look so fun. I definitely look forward to coming back on one of those nights.

Dr. Brewlittles has some fun events every week, including trivia on Tuesday nights and an open mic on Thursday (sign up for the open mic early if you want to perform, slots fill up fast). In good weather there's a delightful outdoor garden area, and there's an upstairs which is available except during private events: both nice of you want to escape the crowd for a moment. Dr. Brewlittles does not offer food, but we get takeout from Maritza's Cafe next door, or the Dog House (hot dogs, if you just want a snack). You can bring your food in and eat it with your beer. Dr. Brewlittles has become my favorite local spot. 10/10.

We had a larger group and there was plenty of space for everyone. We took a quick tour of the private upstairs space. It is beautiful and perfect for hosting events. A few of the beers that were popular amongst our group included: Dock's Orders (Pilsner), Orange Dawgs Nation (White Ale), Maple Shade Lager, and some kind of berry flavored fruited sour I forget the name of but I loved. The only beer that I wasn't too crazy about was the Granny Sam Green Apple Sour but once the other fruited sour kicked I ended up switching to Shandy Cheeks. I was skeptical as it's lemonade mixed the beer of your choice. I had it with Dock's Orders and actually loved it. It was light, refreshing, thirst quenching, and very easy to drink. Highly recommend especially if you're not much of a beer drinker but find yourself here with a group of friends. Everyone in our group really enjoyed themselves at Brewlittles. No complaints about the beer, the service, or the atmosphere and will definitely be back if I'm in the area and thirsty for a couple craft beers.
