I used to live in Medford and have been to Lower Forge Brewery 3-4 times over the years. I want to…read morelike it, I really do, because it has so many things going for it. The location is perfect - right on Main Street in the historic downtown area. There's a pleasant vibe in the tasting room with a variety of seating including a few leather couches. The staff are very friendly and attentive. They offer events like monthly trivia and monthly karaoke. But the beer. Sigh... I just can't get into it. Now, I'm no professional beer critic. I wouldn't say I have a discerning palate capable of detecting subtle notes of hop varietals. And taste in beer is of course subjective. So take this with a grain of salt. But I have definitely had a lot of beer in my life, and I just didn't enjoy the beer here. When I came here in July of 2022 for the first time in awhile, I had a flight and didn't enjoy what I had, but I wanted to give them another chance. But when I came back over a month later in August, they hadn't introduced a single new beer in that time. The menu only had six beers and two seltzers on tap. Of the beers I tried, the Troubadour (porter), Winter Witch (golden stout) and the Healthy, Wealthy and Weizen all lacked enough flavor and just seemed too watery to me. The Piney Punch (radler) was on the opposite end of the spectrum with loads of pineapple flavor. This was the one decent beer of the bunch, if pineapple beer is your thing. The last beer I tried was the Jabberhoppy, an Imperial IPA with 100 IBU meant to "showcase a balance at the upper limits of bitterness. This is a double IPA that packs together six of our favorite hops..." Where do I begin to describe this one? It was certainly interesting and unique, but not in a good way. Too bitter, not enough flavor, maybe just too many different hops for its own good. It just didn't taste like a normal double IPA. And this is certainly nitpicky, but the beer didn't seem cold enough when it was served. So overall, if you want a nice spot to hang with friends, maybe do some karaoke, this place is perfect. But if you're after excellent beer with more complexity, you might need to try elsewhere.

Everything was chopped evenly and broiled to perfection. I did get a decent amount of clam. The description says bacon but I'm glad it wasn't big pieces of crispy bacon. It almost seemed like pancetta. I wish I took a picture. They are a little greasy so I'm not sure why they serve them with a side of butter. I think that's a waste. I ordered the Reuben for my entree and upgraded from chips to potato salad. This was an amazing choice. One of the best Reubens I've had in awhile. I was nervous at first seeing the thick bread but it all came together. It wasn't greasy at all. The corned beef was crispy which made it easier to bite. Who hates trying to bite through tough corned beef???? The amount of sauerkraut was perfect. One half of my sandwich had the perfect amount of dressing. The other half was dry. I usually ask for a side of dressing but didn't this time. I am so glad I upgraded to potato salad. It's only $1 extra and I highly recommend. This reminded me of my family recipe. This sandwich comes with chips and I'm not sure what that means. I'm not a huge potato chip person.

I don't recall anyone not being satisfied with their dinner or drinks. They even came out with a nice big chocolate birthday cake with chocolate morsels and whipped cream along with 10 forks. Even with 10 people, we still couldn't finish the slice of cake.

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.

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.

We ordered the salmon for our fur baby and she absolutely loved it! I was very pleased with the quality and feel so good that our pup enjoyed herself. So cool that they have a whole separate dog menu with tons of options. I ordered the shrimp salad for myself and it was amazing and my husband had the chicken wrap which was very good too. We never really got checked on while we were eating so we weren't able to order more drinks so that took away from the whole experience. We enjoyed eating outside because the inside bar area seemed very loud but it seems we were forgotten. We would go here again with our pup but hopefully the service is better.

It was very busy at the time I went and there was to be up to a 15 minute wait, so I was pleasantly surprised when no more than 2 minutes went by before I got the text that the booth was ready. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating. It was bustling and loud inside. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and fast. Ordered onion rings for the table, which were very good. For the main dish, this time I ordered the 20oz bone in ribeye, which was excellent. The only complaint I'd have was that the broccoli was a bit off and I had to leave them on the dish. The mashed potatoes were very good. The "steak sauce" wasn't needed and taste-wise it probably won't be for everyone anyway. Located in the Moorestown Mall, you don't need to go into the mall as Yard House has its own entrance. There is plenty of parking in the lots. This was twice for me in the Yard House and I can say I'm a fan. I'd easily come back here or any other Yard House location in the future. And I will.

Leashed and friendly dogs are welcome inside the tap room and outside on the patio, making it a perfect hangout spot for both humans and pups. We absolutely loved the vibe here with its natural wood accents, lush greenery, and thoughtfully designed seating areas that make you want to settle in and stay awhile. Rarely do we enjoy everything we try at a brewery, but this place pulled it off flawlessly. The Boro 30 coffee stout was smooth, balanced, and easy to drink, the Moonwalker cream ale was bright and citrusy, and the Sweet PaTaTa's pale ale brought rich malt flavor with every sip. Even their non-alcoholic root beer was incredibly refreshing! There are plenty more options on tap too, so every kind of beer lover can find something to enjoy. We also had the best time chatting with beertender Tiffany, who was incredibly friendly and happened to be celebrating her birthday while we visited! Bring your own food, catch one of their lively events, and kick back at this awesome local brewery.

Decent sized parking lot, and a nice little tasting room inside. Nice decor and variety of seating, including authentic German beer garden tables and benches. It was pretty dead when we visited, just six people at the bar who all appeared to be locals. The bartender was quick with service but didn't engage with us further. $7 pints and $9 flights of four 4 oz beers. There were 9 beers on tap and one seltzer when we were there. We each had a flight so we got to sample most of what was on the menu. Unfortunately we didn't really like most of what we had. The Mexicali Brews (a mojito Pilsner) was definitely interesting in that I've never seen a beer like it before. It was the best of my flight. The Galway Girl (Irish red ale) seemed too watered down, the Stalk n' Hops (cream ale) was just ok, and the Gravity Storm (DIPA at 9.45%) was, I hate to say, atrocious. The Double IPA is by far my favorite style of beer, and this was too watery and had a bitter aftertaste without any of the smooth, nuanced hop flavor I've come to expect from other DIPA's. Most breweries will offer a brief description of their beers, including intended flavor profiles, hops used, etc, but there was none of that here so it was hard to tell what they were going for and what went wrong. If you're local, I'm sure this is a nice place to hang out with some friends and beers. They do a lot of fun events including food trucks and live music. But this is definitely not a place to go out of your way to visit, as you can find much better beer elsewhere.
