Four City Brewing Company - Orange

I went here on a Thursday Trivia night and I had an awesome time! The vibe is so fun. They have wonderful selection of tap beers and the people behind the bar are so helpful. Awesome service! I've been here 3 times, will definitely be back for more! They also have to go cans of tap beers!

I spotted the sign for Four City Brewery Co. from the train and made a note to myself to check it out. I'm so glad I did because we stopped here on a Sunday after dropping off our oldest kid at camp, and was so pleasantly surprised to find a large, airy, beautiful space with an amazing variety of beers for pretty much every beer aficionado out there. Our two kids played retro video games on the small arcade cabinet and enjoyed the visit maybe more than the grownups. Granted, it wasn't crowded, so it might be different at other times. The artwork in the walls was such a superb touch and really made it feel like a local resource The bartender was so great to talk to and exhibited a solid understanding of the available brews on tap. Unfortunately, due to New Jersey's wrong-headed and protectionist prohibition on breweries serving food, there was only a small selection of snacks to choose from. (Takis rule! Of course, that's not the brewery's fault, so the five-star rating remains. Here's hoping the laws evolve to better serve people. (Don't get me started on the lack of alcohol sales in delis.

Great high quality beer! I was never a beer drinker before trying this place out, but the taste of their beer is nothing like what you get in those cans at the store. I recommend anything they have on the menu as they often switch up their offerings.

Time for 5 stars! I always have a great time at Four city. Great staff, including the owners who are usually present and willing to chat with you while enjoying drinks. No food here but they gladly welcome you to bring outside food which I've seen people carry in as well as literally have delivered. There is often food trucks parked outside ready to serve up some good food too. The best are the events here which happen regularly every month. I've done trivia which is fun (except when people form a team of like 10 or more for a huge advantage), or even better when it's Reggae Night. It's great listening to live tunes with craft beer. The menu changes frequently which is good and bad, good because trying new things is cool, but bad because I lose favorites. #BringbackOatCreamMan. #BringbackForgetastoutit Stop in for a few or take some to go. If you're from any of the Oranges, you need to represent!

The brewery came highly recommended and it lived up to expectations. Dan took great care of me and I left with two four-packs: the JED-IPA and a very interesting dark sour called Le Baie Noir. Sounds like they host trivia and host live music (wish I could 've stayed for a RATM cover band later in the week). Thanks for the great beer and great conversation!
