About Our Brewery

Under New Ownership!!

Established in 2001, Cricket Hill is one of the original craft breweries in New Jersey.  After more than 24 years of dedicated stewardship, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Rick and Ed, whose passion and commitment shaped the brewery’s legacy and kept its spirit alive. 


New owners Andrew and Jeff are honored to carry that legacy forward. With deep respect for the brewery’s roots and a shared vision for its future, we are committed to revitalizing Cricket Hill and restoring it to the vibrant, community‑driven brewery so many have loved. The journey ahead is bright, and we’re thrilled to welcome everyone along for the ride.

Today, we offer an expansive portfolio of brew styles including: IPAs, Ales, Sours, Lagers, Stouts, and Porters. Our beer is brewed using only the finest grains, like barley, wheat, and oats and a wide range of flavorful hops.
