Brewery News

Back for its ninth year, our take on this classic German style, the O'Fish uses German malts, hops and yeast.

Can't get enough of New Jersey beer news ?  If you're already following Flying Fish (@jerseyfreshale), you can now follow news about all 15 Guild members @njbeer.

Tours are on summer holiday.  We'll be back on Saturday, Sept. 11th, 1-4pm.  As always, it's a free tour and tasting, no appointment is necessary and last tour starts by 3:30pm.

You guessed it--a bocce ball tournament hosted by Iron Hill Wilmington!  The Flying Fish Fireballers will be there along with Stewart's, Sly Fox, Victory, Dogfish Head, and Yards battling for a trophy none of us even realized we coveted.

We've been able to ship some 1/6 kegs of Exit 4 American Trippel out to to the five county Philadelphia area, so if you've been looking for something new and exciting for your home draft system, ask your local distributor to order it in.

One of the best beer festivals going.  Beers from 72 breweries from throughout the US, including Flying Fish bringing it Jersey style with Exit 4, gold medal winner at Great American Beer Festival.  Here's the website.

This three day family - oriented fest has about as diverse a selection of music you will find locally this summer ( as well as plenty of Flying Fish beer): Roseanne Cash, Alejandro Escovedo, Robert Randolph, Yo La Tengo, The Walkmen, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals and many more. Daily July 16, 17, 18.

July 10, 1-5pm: One price gets you samples of the freshest food and seafood Jersey has to offer. Music, prizes and more.

We'll be closed Memorial Day Weekend and will then be running our regular Saturday tours every other week throughout the summer.  We come back with weekly tours September 11.  Check out our calendar for more details.

For the fifth stop in the Exit Series, we journey to Exit 6.

We're adding some new features, but things aren't just exactly perfect--yet.  Thanks for your patience.

Although usually identified with landfills and pipelines, the Hackensack Meadowlands is an amazingly diverse ecosystem providing vital animal and plant habitat.

The only thing better than cheese and beer is. . . cheese made with beer. Our friends at Cherry Grove Farms in Lawrenceville, NJ are making an organic semi-soft cheese in which the rind is washed for several weeks with our Abbey Dubbel.

Major league baseball got underway this week, so when you're cheering on the Phillies to get back to a 3rd consecutive World Series, look for Flying Fish Extra Pale Ale at the quite enjoyable Citizens Bank Park. This year, you'll be able to find Farmhouse Summer Ale in bottles as well.

Greg Kitsock did a great feature on Oyster Stouts prominently featuring Exit 1 Bayshore Oyster Stout. Although the draft is all gone, there are still bottles to be found. If you don't see it, ask for it!

Most people missed it when it came out as the first of the Exit Series in the big bottles. Based on popular demand and acclaim, we've now released it as a pretty much year 'round beer in 12oz. bottles. The first batch just started shipping so it may take a week or two to hit your neighborhood.

The Washington Post featured Exit 1 Bayshore Oyster Stout recently, while Philadelphia Weekly named Exit 11 Hoppy American Wheat Philly's Best Local Beer.<

For its third stop on our multi-year trip to explore the state of New Jersey through its beer and culture, Flying Fish journeys to Exit 1 for Bayshore Oyster Stout.

Oysters have had a long association with stout in the United Kingdom.

It's just started shipping, so keep your eyes out for this year's Grand Cru Winter Reserve. If you hadn't had this beer before, think of this Belgian-style Golden Ale as the big brother--the real big brother--of the Farmhouse Summer Ale.

Congrats to the Flying Fish brew crew as Exit 4 American Trippel took home the gold in a highly competitive category at Denver's Great American Beer Festival. We also grabbed bronze for HopFish IPA. This is on the heels of last year's silver medal for Abbey Dubbel.

The October issue picks their 15 best beers in the nation. As one of the earliest proponents of Belgian style beers in America, we were happy with the recognition. Click here to read the full story.
