STOUTFEST! Ok, to be 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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I thought perhaps the weather would keep people away (it was cold and snowing), but they packed the place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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! read more

Always a great time coming to Czig Meister. We came on a Friday night to grab some drinks and check out the vibes. The bartenders were all really nice and even had recommendations. No parking lot, but tons of street parking. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The best part is that they're dog friendly so it was nice seeing all the puppies![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Love this spot! This is a fun, laidback brewery with a large space both indoors and outdoors to enjoy. There's a great selection of craft brews, and I always gravitate to getting a flight here to try more variety. Note that it's BYOF - we actually brought back tacos from down the street, and it was perfect. There's also spacious parking located behind the Dollar General next door. read more

Great beers! Staff is awesome and lots of choices. Wish they had food but happy to come here for a beer with some take-out.

Loved the 9th Anniversary beers but [[HIGHLIGHT]]was not impressed by the set up. From having to go to the parking lot to buy tickets to no inside bathrooms if you were in the taproom it just seemed a little bit off putting[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus having kids running around at 9 pm after a long day of work was a little annoying.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall I usually like coming here but might avoid "big" events.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]And then having to walk around to our car even though we were in the back parking lot was just the icing on the cake. Poorly organized[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great collection of beers, [[HIGHLIGHT]]good ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and good service. There's always a fun event going on in the town.

Awesome staff, plenty of parking and tons of space inside the brewery. I came here on a Saturday night with some friends and we had a blast. It wasn't crazy packed for a Saturday night, tons of tables. Incredible list of beer and they also have some soda options for anyone who doesn't drink alcohol. We opted to sit outside since it was so nice out but then the rain came pouring down and we moved inside. Everyone was super accommodating. They also hold fun activities here, I saw a flyer for a puppy adoption at the brewery. They've got some cool handmade soaps up front and some merch with their brand on it. Definitely a cool spot to hang out in on a nice summer day! read more

I try to go here at least once a month. The beer is great, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere is the best around and they are dog friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is top notch and they always have at least 2-3 food trucks stop in a week. On top of this they do a lot of awesome events including Oktoberfest, Maifest and Stoutfest. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The biergarten is super nice ever since they renovated it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We've been wanting to try out Czig Meister for a long time and we finally made it there recently. It was worth the wait - or really, we missed on not going sooner! My reviews usually come from a family perspective and this place was great! We were a little worried with it being cold and the garden not open whether the kids would be welcome inside, but the staff and other patrons couldn't have been nicer! There was also a good selection of quick snacks that kept the kids happy while Mom and Dad tried some flights. Which brings me to the beer. A wide selection was available. I find some breweries we struggle to fill out the flights with things we want to try - here it was a struggle not to get a second to try more! Lots of great options for my wife too, who prefers some options like sours and hard seltzers. We ended up buying some to bring home as well. Can't wait to return soon, and definitely in the spring when we can hang out in the garden. read more

I love Czig Meister! Great craft brews and an awesome tasting room to visit! There are always a wide variety of selections to choose from woth seasonal rotations in their "Deep Sea" New England IPA Series as well as their unique "Sundial" Series of Sours. Specifically I come back for their Sundial Series: Civil Dawn which is probably my favorite beer of all time; Key Lime Sour with Vanilla Lactose and Cinnamon! The outdoor biergarten is very large and gets busy in the summer months and on warm weekend nights. It's BYOF (bring your own food). Don't forget to try different brews, so many incredible (& different) options to choose from! read more

This brewery has everything! I've been coming here ever since they first started and they always have something new and interesting on their menu. Some of their creations have quirky names like ABACABB (Genesis Mortal Kombat code reference). They're BYOF so you can bring in anything from the nearby restaurants on Main Street too. read more

7/12/2020 Czig has done a fabulous job with Covid and keeping open. Seating is mostly shaded and first come first served. The hostess will assign you a seat and explain all beer garden rules. Of course the beer is still great but the attention to staff and customer safety must be applauded! read more

My sister just moved to the area, and I was excited to see what the town offered. I know I wanted to see the local beer scene and these guys were open during the holidays so I decided to step in. Staff was super friendly and answered any questions I had about their long beer list. I went on a weekday afternoon and it was pretty mellow but I can imagine it packs up at night time, especially during their events. The space is huge! They also offered I believe most of their beers to go which was nice to bring back home to share with others. read more

After having lunch we wanted to try a new place that we found on yelp. This was the number one recommended place to have a beer. With it being dog friendly and lots of open space inside, was warm and welcoming. Great place to hang out and have a beer with friends even 4 legged friends. The staff was great and very knowledgeable. You can bring your own food snaps and just have a great time. read more

The best brewery in Hackettstown. They have a huge selection of craft beers to choose from. If you can't single it down to one, order a tasting flight and experience four. The staff is always friendly and the beer is always delicious. We came here on a Thursday night and grabbed a table. Weekends get extremely busy along with any of the events they host. I grabbed a few pints of the prospector which is a red ale. It was just what I needed after a long day. There are plenty of restaurants near by that deliver or are walkable as the brewery is unable to serve food. The tasting room is huge and clean. In the spring and summer, I love to sit outside in the Biergarten with my wife while enjoying our favorite drinks. They don't have a private parking lot but there is plenty of street parking. You simply can't go wrong with coming here we will be back. read more

Lactose is a key beer maker here in some tasty sours and "milkshakes." I had the anomaly milkshake and was so impressed had to do a tasting of the other milkshakes and IPA sours. The sours were not too sour. The use of fruits, vanilla, cinnamon and even cocoa nibs, showed inspiration, experimentation, and boldness. I really like everything from the blueberry to the cherry to the peachy-apricot. The brewery has a big space and is open till 8 on Sundays! One of our days to hike and then seek out a craft brewery. Many families and friend groups were there. They even have hatchet throwing! Hackettstown has a lot of eateries. The brewery has many menus and the restaurants were delivering. Of course there were dogs. They even have a black top Biergarten outside. Wasn't being used yet in the low 40s. Many beers options to go. They refill growlers. Somewhat loud and noisy. Hey, that's a Biergarten after all. read more

Beer Weekend stop #5 and final was the only one where I even thought to take a photo of my drinks! This was by far the most crowded stop of the weekend, with it being a nice enough day out to draw a crowd to Hackensack. They have a large outdoor area and the entire place is dog-friendly, so all the dogs and owners come here to socialize and bark (in some order). I know my one friend appreciated this! I... dealt with it. Still need to find the brewery that has cats inside. Onto the best part. Since I took a photo, I know everything I had! The blacksmith chocolate stout was not super-chocolatey nor super-stouty but it was a very nice darker pour. They advertise it as "easy drinking" and I think that's accurate. The tiramisu milk porter I thought fell flat (pun not really intended) on nitro. Nitro makes it smooth but a porter should have a little more roughness to it. It ended up lacking in flavor profile and was probably the weakest of the four I sampled, but I could see it going better on a regular tap. All of us had the prospector, a fine amber ale with a good flavor profile that will appear to light and dark beer lovers. Finally, just because, I went for the unholy ritual quadrupel, because how often do you see a quad? This was a fantastic beer and one that I could see myself having entirely too much of, so I ultimately decided that I would probably end up dying if I went through an entire growler. I highly recommend it to the beer snobs reading this. Overall, a nice way to close out the weekend series, especially for caninophiles. read more

Brilliant place, Czig Meister. The number and variety of beers + the decent prices + the cozy drinking space + the neat setup in an old garage makes Czig Meister a winner. Recently visited from Kentucky over the Christmas holiday, and my girlfriend is local to the area, and Czig Meister was the best place I went. I really can't say enough good things. Every beer I tried was outstanding. If you're in the Hackettstown area and want a brew, you'd be silly to not visit Czig Meister. read more

Felt comfortable with the space and the way the host explain the safety procedures. Now the beer was Execent. Nice selection as well. No food but you can bring your own. Service could have been a little more friendlier. The tattoo fellow, maybe a manger, could have have explain some of my questions better. Almost acted bothered and the place was not busy. In the end the hostess helped me out with a purchase I couldn't get from the tattoo fellow. Over all it's a good space, good beer and can see the place being a fun time. read more

Great beers, great location, great folks, the outdoor area is great. A Hackettstown gem.

Been to Czig Meister several times in the past to meet up with friends and it's always a great environment with marvelous beer options. As soon as you walk in, the vibe is very easygoing and friendly, with a variety of seating inside and if the weather is good, seating outside as well. Very family & dog-friendly atmosphere with plenty of space and a clean environment, including the restrooms. The team is always courteous and knowledgable, offering great recommendations from its diverse selections. The prices are fair. They don't sell food, but you're permitted to bring your own and they also have a list of area eateries that deliver. There are certainly a fair number of options to eat from and I would recommend pairing your beer choices with the food options. They have a great area in the center of Hackettstown with off-street parking and if the small lot is full there is a bigger lot in the back. You can access the larger lot and there is a walking ramp up to the brewery. It's a fun Local hangout, perfect for weekend gatherings and relaxing with friends. The Czigler family does great work and looking for many years of future business with them. read more

RUDE! Unpleasant experience! Went in and purchased 2-'4 packs'. Easy. We asked for our Grains & Grapes Trail stamps. As this was our last stop as we completed our trail, I said "You're our last stop.". Instead of politely asking me to come back because they were very busy, I was yelled at and the server said "No way! There's just no way.! ". He said it 3 or 4 times. I was so taken back by his agitation, I said "No problem, we'll come back another time"... Trying to calm him down. Relax Buddy. He then said you'll need to go somewhere else for your Grains & Grapes sweatshirt. Whatever.... I'm not asking for a handout. I am seeking the prize for the promotion your company featured. Also, don't bother doing the Grains & Grapes Trail. I am a supporter of local businesses and local agriculture, honoring the preservation of New Jersey's and Warren County's farmlands. However, this gimmick of the Trails isn't worth the trouble. We have participated in the trails twice now and both times we had to work to get the prize promised (a customized sweatshirt). Don't offer a promotion if you can't deliver. read more

My husband and I love going to Czig! There is always a great selection of beers, flights, and slushees. The staff is always so nice and helpful with recommendations. Parking is great with their lot as long as there isn't an event going on. We love that they welcome dogs because we love to get ours out and about! The only downsides are that it's usually very busy and loud on a weekend (shows how many people love it) and it gets very warm in there in the warmer months so dress accordingly. Overall it's one of our favorite local breweries to visit! read more

Czig is great, but the Persian Kabab caterer outside is incredible. The name is Laurisa Persian Kabab and they have a shop in town

Great space for after work. We brought our own food in, which was great. Service at the bar was good.

Nice place for some beer and hard seltzer, which is also gluten free. Very spacious place with good music too.

Pet friendly!!! This was the reason for choosing this brewery as my sister has a pup! Staff was super friendly and attentive. Beer was good, I asked the staff to recommend a sour beer and surprise me & it definitely paid off! Outdoor seating is social distanced and shaded. Perfect spot for an outdoor hangout. The table is limited in terms of time but they do give a half hour warning. We even were permitted to stay past our original time out time as it was crowded yet and plenty of tables were open. As it became more busy, they have us a warning of when to leave. Looking forward to returning. read more

Czig Meister Brewing Company - Herdsman -Bock. Tasty beer - Breweries Near Me - Hackettstown, New Jersey

Set in a retired Ford Repair Shop this brewery can hold a huge crowd and has a pretty extensive beer list ranging from Kolsch, Ales and Stouts. Even on a cold day they may open up the outdoor beirgarten and turn on the heating lamps. The parking lot is relatively small so plan to park on the street or ride share to the location. Czig Meister does not serve food but they have a collection of local menus to order from and encourage guests to bring their own snacks. This brewery is within walking distance to Man Skirt and the main street with additional shops and restaurants - brewery hopping anyone?? read more

HACKETTSTOWN: a few months ago the town approved Czig Meister Brewing Company to allow dogs again, so the first chance we got, we took a trip up there to check it out and show them support! We were so impressed with the space; it's huge and has beautiful brick walls, large windows, and lots of seating! Dogs are allowed inside the tasting room and their outdoor biergraten! You may bring in your own food and there are menus available at the end of the bar. We always like getting a flight at a new place to get a sampling and we loved Chieftains Covenant! Paragon of Light and Unholy Ritual were interesting too! If you live in the area, we are jealous of you because the town is super cute and there are two other breweries: Man Skirt Brewing (right around the corner) and Jersey Girl Brewing Company (about 10 minutes away). All dog friendly! read more
