Normally, I only post about craft beer. However, there's a place that's trying to convert me away from beer. I'll get into that in a bit.
Magnify Brewing Company. One of the newest craft breweries in NJ. And already making great beer. Their funky saison, Search, is one of the most well crafted saisons I've had. Their Woah Equinox farmhouse style IPA is fantastic (as are the other Woah variants - Woah Nelly and Woah Amarillo - named after the single hop they used for each batch). And their It's Dam Cool Turkish coffee porter is perhaps my favorite they make. It's one of the few breweries I've been to where I didn't have a beer I didn't like.
The brewery itself is a little small, and, as it's growing in popularity, gets a little crowded. The staff is friendly, and they do their best to make sure no one sits in front of an empty glass for long. Plus, they have pretzels on the table. Sure, they're store bought, but it's a nice touch, and something that's definitely helpful if you're going to sit around and have a couple on the way home from work.

Right next door to Magnify is Jersey Spirits Artisan Distillery.
This place is awesome as well. Friendly staff, great spirits. I've had more hard liquor here than any other place since I've gotten back from China, and the quality is good enough to make me consider hopping off my beer only trend.
The Maple Whiskey is phenomenal and I haven't had a mixed drink from them that I didn't like. - the Autumn Orange was particularly good. I can't wait till they get the label approved for the infusions and can start selling the maple in addition to their fantastic rum and whiskey (and other variants). I've heard the vodka, gin, and various hooches (legal moonshine) are great as well, but I'm not the biggest vodka or gin drinker, and they were out of hooch every time I went. You also get a free tour if you want it. They describe the process of distillation (the first half of the process is almost identical to brewing) and aging spirits in great detail and are open to any and all questions.
They also provide some cheddar goldfish to snack on while you try all of the drinks.
Great spot for a drink or after work drink. Or to grab a bottle to go.

This one-two combination is sure to bring a lot of people to the small industrial complex they're located. I would definitely recommend a trip, it's worth it if you're in the area.
