We booked a bonsai event here and I was so glad we did. It's a little over an hour away and by far one of the most inviting places we have been to. The bartender was super friendly and we shared our pizza with him (they dont serve food so we ordered a hot honey from a local place he recommended and it was so good). The ales were so good. My husband and I tried several and they were all delicious. The atmosphere is gorgeous inside and out. The clientele was great when we were there also. The owner was there for a bit and was super nice and welcoming. The outside is so pretty. We wish this was closer we'd be there all the time but we will definitely be back. read more

Subculture Artisan Ales - Ales and bonsai bar. - Breweries Near Me - Florence, New Jersey

FLORENCE: Subculture Artisan Ales has the most peaceful design of a brewery we have seen and we were instantly calmed by the vibes upon walking in. Brie loves it too and was impressed by the various seating options from the bar, to beautiful wood tables and comfy chairs, a cozy corner couch area with games and books, and even a large outdoor space with a tent and heaters. Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed at all the spots! Our bartender, Tom, was awesome with helping us choose excellent beers that met our tastes like the GrunGrin wheat, Kinkora Kolsh, and Milt's Mild dark. There is a bunch more on tap and the non-alcoholic sodas are fantastic too including mango carrot, rootbeer, and cran-citrus sodas. Browsing around we appreciated the TVs to watch the game, the record exchange bin, and the elegant beauty of the beer glasses. David, the head brewer and owner, said hello to us and has years of brewing experience in Chicago and we are so lucky to have back in NJ operating a wonderful place 1 block from the Delaware River. FYI, you may see a brewery cat roaming around and, most of the time, are kept out of the tasting room. Street parking is available, dock your boat at the Florence Twp boat ramp and walk over, or visit by light rail. Follow them on social media for other events! read more

A nice little brewpub in a quiet area. The service was good and the beers were excellent. A good place to hang out and have a few beers. They also have house made sodas. read more

Cats, cats, cats! As a beer enthusiast, Subculture is on the list for a revisit. Their warm, welcoming location offers some incredibly tasty and fun beers. Our bartender, Nancy, was amazing! She was so friendly, and she even allowed us a peek at the resident brewery cats, Calypso and Cashmere. Street parking was aplenty on the day we visited. I was a big, big fan of the Burton Reynolds English Ale - I mean, who can resist that mustache? The Bob Loblaw was another hit. I love a brewery that offers varied sized offerings. They have a fun reading nook with great books and beautiful natural lighting. This would be a really nice place to gather with a few friends, but it's not a HUGE space, so timing would be of the essence. I loved my visit to Subculture, and I look forward to seeing Calypso and Cashmere again soon! read more

My wife, dog and I were out and about for Christmas shopping and decided to take a drive here and we were not disappointed. It's a smaller, but nicely renovated space that looks brand new. I saw some of the other reviews and would assume the lighting is better now because it didn't bother my wife who has bad light sensitivity. My wife said she could tell the place had a woman's touch - the floor, the walls, the cleanliness of the bathrooms!! Haha. They also had Christmas music playing so it was very calming. I got the Floressence IPA (x2) and the Hidden Loop IPA. Both were tasty, I felt Floressence was a bit fuller and really hit my taste buds nicely. Hidden Loop was also good and my wife enjoyed their Pilsner. As a Hazy IPA obsessed beer drinker, I was happy with what they had to offer in that realm. We found out later it was a family business which is so cool. Most were onsite enjoying a beer and socializing. I am passionate about craft beer and wish this place all the success in the world. David and his sister and their father were some of the nicest owners I have met. Looking forward to coming back in the warmer months as well. read more

This is the newest addition to the South Jersey brewery scene, just a block from the banks of the Delaware River in Florence, NJ. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere in a small nondescript building. Several blocks from the closest food options. What a surprise to walk into a bright space packed with plants and decorative German steins. Small but super cozy and welcoming vibe. My girlfriend stopped in on a Saturday a week after they opened, and the place was packed. We were lucky to get two seats at the bar. They only had about seven or eight beers, but we thoroughly enjoyed every one of them and look forward to coming back for more to see what else they come up with. They had several bartenders pouring beer and everyone was super friendly. We will be back! read more

Subculture Artisan Ales - Interior - Breweries Near Me - Florence, New Jersey

This is a top-notch little Brewery in a small town in South Jersey. To start with the beers are excellent, crisp and flavorful ipas without a heavy overtaste to them. The staff is exceptionally friendly, and the owner / head Brewer is hanging out at the bar with everyone else talking. Everyone here is really nice, friendly and welcoming Add to that two adorable cats that are very friendly and loving and soft. I just wished I lived down in that area so I could go more often. I cannot say enough nice things about Subculture Artisan Ales. I can say next time I am in the area I will definitely be there. read more

We had a good time grabbing a beer here. It's very unassuming on the outside but plenty of street parking available. The beer was really good and priced comparable to other breweries in the area. They also have an outside area which looks like it would be great on a nice day. No food nearby so bring some snacks with you. read more

Every beer they have is an incredible expression of that style. I love that they have so many options other than IPA, without doing a ton of adjuncts. Trivia Wednesdays and BYO vinyl Thursdays are both tons of fun. My favorites are the Hornburger and Silos! read more

Stopped by with my family and our puppy. The decor is very natural and not at all overwhelming. Lots of plants and greenery and the tables are beautiful wood and resin. I enjoyed the Bob'N for Apples Carmel apple IPA. We brought pizza from Rocco's, which is very close by. The beertender was very friendly and helpful. They offer 5oz tasters which is great if you want to try a few different brews. We will be back! read more

Subculture Artisan Ales - Florescence Hazy IPA - Breweries Near Me - Florence, New Jersey

Been here several times. Beer is excellent. The Florescence Hazy IPA is great especially good. They have periodic food trucks and events.

We've been to Subculture many times since they have opened and have always been impressed with their beer selection and service. We recently used Subculture to host a birthday party for our son. Dave, the owner, was so helpful with answering questions and making sure that we had everything we needed for our large event. On the day of, Dave and his employees exceeded our expectations. Our guests raved about the atmosphere, service and above all, the amazing beer. We are very happy to have this gem so close to home and look forward to many more trips to Subculture in the future! read more

If you're a craft beer nerd like me, this place is a must stop. The place is small but the beers on tap were excellent. The hospitality was great too. If I'm in the area again, I will definitely be stopping in. read more

You can taste the care and creativity that went into creating the unique beers of this new brewery in the heart of Florence. There were six different offerings when I visited with my date and we tried two of them. "Silos" a delicious American Stout, dark, rich, and full of a chocolate/coffee flavor; all the things I love from a Stout. I couldn't ask for more. My date ordered the "Erste" a German Helles Lager. Light, smooth, and easy to drink. The beers were delicious, affordable, and offered in 3oz, 8oz, and 16oz pours. There are a few small tweaks that would improve the overall experience for customers: 1) Lighting. We almost didn't go in because this place is way too bright. We counted about 32 recessed lighting fixtures in a space that only needs ten. The lighting felt like daylight during date night. Warmer bulbs at half the intensity would be a reason to stay longer. 2) Noise. This is always a problem for restaurants and bars, but when we were there the place had about 16 people and was very loud. Some type of sound buffering on the walls or ceiling would help. Anything to absorb some sound. 3) No growlers. We asked if they filled growlers, and at the present time that is not offered. We were told the beers will be sold in cans in the future. 4) Merch. Tried to purchase a t-shirt, but they didn't have my size. Glad the merch is popular, but they lost a sale. Overall this is a wonderful brewery and I can't wait to go back and taste their new offerings. For those new to this type of business, breweries are prohibited from selling food, but you can certainly bring your own. It's also not a sports bar, so don't expect to see screens with the game on. Sit down and enjoy their unique brews. We certainly did! read more
