    Yale terrace has been at two of the Wine and Beer festivals I've been to this summer. Both times I spent most of my time by their spot because these guys are such fantastic people you can't help but stay around them. The beer I had this weekend was just as good as the last time I saw them. A solid beer that was so drinkable you keep going back for more. I look forward to stopping by their brewery one day soon to try some more of their beers. They were serving mango and pumpkin IPA's and I got stuck on the Mango. It was so good!

    I got the flight: pils, red wine ipa, stout, and sour Pils: light, clear, low flavor Red wine ipa: unbalanced Stout: I get the espresso but not the bourbon barrel flavor, and there was a tart/sour taste Sour: def sour but like vinegar not same as LAB. No disrespect but the beers are not up to standard. I tried the abbey. It was dilute and didn't even taste like it was 10% abv. The maple porter was so sweet and thin.

    Listen - this place was just over a week old when I went. They have some kinks to work out and I in no way want to bash this new local establishment. I plan to be back and hopefully see their continued improvements and growth. That being said, here's an honest review of my experience. First impression walking in- standard brewery design. When you walk in the bar is to the left, coat hooks on the right, and a few tables towards the back. Place was medium busy with 3 guys behind the bar. Took a while to get my flight because the beer lines weren't working properly. The brewer who was there (I forget his name now) was running around trying to fix things. The 2 other pourers were a little overwhelmed but smiling and friendly and doing their best to keep up with the crowd and answer questions. However, the one pourer didn't know anything about the beer which may not seem like a big deal but it sort of is when you work at a local brewery. I wanted to know the differences between the IPAs and hear more about the cream ale because it tasted more like a sour- like a Gose. So, now about the beers.... It seems like they may name them without knowing the style of beer they are brewing. For example- the cream ale tasted more like a Gose. Some friends didn't quite think the golden ale was in fact a golden ale, and the saison seemed a little off to me. I really enjoyed the golden ale and the oatmeal stout but the oatmeal stout had such a big head that I barely got any actual beer. The saison was ok and the Vermont IPA was a little flat, whereas the Main IPA was a little foamy. I know that's a problem with the lines and I realize they are new and working out some kinks. Overall, it was an A-Ok experience and I wish these guys all the best. I look forward to returning and look forward to updating this review a few months down the line.

    I. Can't. Even. I can't give it anything other than 5 stars because after the Sunday we stopped here for a drink all I could thin of for the next 2 days was having another Chocolate Habanero Stout! It may questionably make me sound like an alcoholic, but damn was that a good beer!! Been here now a second time with friends and we're definitely coming back again! Great beers and great staff!!

    A good selection of beers here and very friendly staff. Very laid-back atmosphere and they offer free bowls of pretzel nuggets and cheeseballs. You can order food from Vinny's next-door and have it brought over or grab your brew & bring it to Vinny's. The stout was the best offering I tried. Like the planks too.

    The beers and the atmosphere make Yale's terrace the best place to hang, meet good people and drink some of NJs best brews. Be there.

    My favorite beer was the Vermont IPA #721 but they had a beer made with fruity pebbles which was also awesome (forgot the name).

    Drifting Back to Lions Roar for Sure!…read more We ended the night at Lions Roar Brewing in Westfield and what a way to cap off an evening. The service was excellent -- friendly, attentive, and on point all night. The craft beer selection had some real creativity on tap. We were disappointed to hear the mango brew had run out -- that one sounded like a winner -- but the Mexican and lime brew more than made up for it. Bright, flavorful, and refreshing, it was a great pour that kept us coming back for more. But the real showstopper of the night? Drifting Back. This four-piece band was absolutely exceptional -- tight, talented, and packed with great tunes. They had the room in the palm of their hands all night. If you ever see them on the schedule here, don't miss it. A minor gripe about the sold-out mango brew aside, this was a fantastic night out at Lions Roar. We'll absolutely be back.

    "NO FOOD HERE - BRING YOUR OWN FOOD"…read more Found this from Google Maps and tried this brewery . Google had good reviews and yeah . This was lived upto expectations . Nice location. Close to other restaurants. Parking can be challenging . I had to pay and park few minutes walk . Ambience is good . They had live bands some days . Lots of seats to sit and drink. There are both indoor and outdoor seating . In summer outdoor seating could have insects / mosquitoes and hence we had to move to inside seating . IPA was too good ! Love the fresh taste of hazy IPA. Service can be better . IPA closer about 10$ which is slightly expensive than other sports bars . First time . I didn't know we can bring our own food. . Went there and had nothing to eat and ordered a peanut packet . Lots of others got pizzas and other food from neighborhood, which is a great option. Good experience overall . 4 stars

    attended a kid's birthday party here on a 95-degree day. The only accessible place to get water…read moreappeared to be a walk-in refrigerator that several guests were clearly using throughout the event. As I approached the door--something many others had done before me--I was abruptly stopped by a man who turned out to be the owner. He rudely told me "NO," and then followed up with "Would you walk into a refrigerator in a restaurant?" Honestly, if the refrigerator was in the middle of where the party was being held, then yes, I probably would--especially if there was no signage saying it was off-limits. Only after this encounter did he put up an "Employees Only" sign, which tells me it wasn't clearly marked before. This could have been handled in a much more respectful and professional manner. The owner's attitude was unnecessarily rude and confrontational. If he expects people not to go in, proper signage should be in place before the event begins, not after making guests feel unwelcome.

    Never had this kind of experience. Our friends told us about this place so decided to go together…read more It's a nice small closed off place which outdoor and indoor seating. They brew their stuff there and they encase the drinks there with a little machine. We ordered 2 sets of flights so the four of us can try all the flavors. Some weren't to out taste and a couple were so it's nice we can have this experience. We ended up taking a bug can home to enjoy later.

    Visited for the first time for a friends birthday and I really enjoyed myself. I am not a beer…read moredrinker but I did enjoy a blood orange seltzer and the "crush the slush peach guava." I love that you can try 4oz, 10oz, 16oz, or purchase a 4 pack of cans. Service was quick as ordering is at the bar. Staff does come around to clear and garbage and/or empty glasses. Since my friend invited around 10 people, she got there early to grab tables in the back. Loved spending time here, would return to try other beers on tap!

    Was in Rahway area and wanted to go to this brewery for a long time .. I have tried wet ticket IPAs…read morefrom shops .. trying their location for the first time .. parking is tough. We kept looking and then had to pay in the parking garage opposite .. was crowded that day . Service was average . Didn't know that this was a buy your own food ! Just had a snack that they sold . Wish there was food . Next time I know I have to get my own food ! Ambience was ok. They didn't have many options on draft . They ran out of almost all drafts . We had to buy a 4 pack tin and they popped one out to serve us . There wasn't any hazy beers on tap. Wish , being a brewery they had more options . The hazy beers from the Tin was super good too ! It was called fully juiced ! It was ok experience overall .. 3 stars ...
