It only seems fitting that our signature Juicy IPA be a tribute to the area’s earliest settlers, the Narraticon Indians. Narraticon means Raccoon, which was the name given to the area until 1765 when it was changed to Swedesboro, in recognition of one of only three settlements established in New Jersey as part of the New Sweden colony.

Raccoon delivers a bursting juicy, tropical hop experience without embracing bitterness that is common of other American styles of IPA. Do not be misled by its alluring haze and murky appearance, as this beer is soft on the palate. Read Less

The world of the Delaware Indians, native to our area, revolved around the annual harvest of corn (maize), beans, and squash – the “Three Sisters.”
​
Today, we too proudly celebrate the natural simplicity of this harvest with our signature Amber Ale. The beautiful golden to amber color of Three Sisters is derived from the use of caramel and crystal malts, which are roasted to provide the body and flavor many beer fans have come to love.

In 1691, the English Colonial government commissioned a road to be built that connected Burlington and Salem, which opened the southern portion of Gloucester County to more settlers. This road, Kings Highway, is one of the oldest roads in existence in the country today. Our Milk Stout is equally well-traveled – with a legacy that reflects the pubs of old England.
​
King’s Whey is full-bodied, creamy and rich to the palate. Featuring notes of caramel and chocolate with an aroma full of sweet malt character, this Stout has a deliciously dessert-like finish. Read Less

Piney gets its inspiration from the NJ Pinelands—historically referred to as the Pine Barrens due to its sandy and highly acidic soil considered unsuitable for traditional farming. Resourceful settlers collected and sold peat moss or pine cones, hunted, fished, and lived off of the land—traditions that remain strong today.

Like the pines native to our area, the flavor profile of this American IPA is big and bold. This craft carries the distinctive notes of citrus, grapefruit and peppery pine. The notes and remarkable bitterness are derived from American hops. Read Less

In tribute to the Swedish immigrants who first settled here in the mid-1600s, we have worked hard to create our own version of quite possibly the most iconic beer style in modern history, the Pilsner.

Borough’s Best is a thoroughly refreshing beer, characterized by brilliant clarity, high carbonation and tangy varieties of hops that impart floral aromas and a crisp, bitter finish. Read Less

Swedesboro’s own Ted Laux loved football. At Collingswood High, he was the local, all-conference hero. Laux later played for the Steagles – a team that was a temporary merger between the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers, due to player shortages brought on by World War II.

Our tribute to the cold-weathered homeboy is a cool-fermented Lager like no other. Flying Steagle has little in the way of hop and malt character, which imparts a truly exceptional clean and crisp flavor. Read Less

Swedesboro was once known for producing so much wheat that in the 1700s it was given the nickname “The Breadbasket.” Since most of the wheat was exported to European countries like Germany, our Wheat Beer is our tribute to the traditional wheat-based hefeweizen of Bavaria.

Our Breadbasket is a perfect selection for those seeking a beer with a lighter body that remains full of flavor. Read Less

Through the late 1800s, Raccoon Creek was a water route that was naturally deep enough to transport wood and farm produce to outside areas. While the creek was used for transportation, the early Swedish settlers drank beer with low ABV as a safe alternative to water. The color of our Brown Ale is reminiscent of the creek that was so vital to our area’s development.
​
Drawing inspiration from English-style brown ales and porters, Creek Water has roasted malt, caramel-like and chocolate-like characteristics. Its flavor sits between these two styles, but is slightly more bitter than both. Read Less

Hopeweizen is a dry-hopped American Wheat Ale. This beer is a hybrid that blends the soft sweetness and thirst-quenching drinkability of a wheat beer with the moderate bitterness and snappy hop of a pale ale.
​
Hopeweizen is a great transitional beer for folks who do not think they enjoy hoppy beers but also an excellent choice for IPA fans who want to enjoy the smoothness that Hefeweizen fans love from wheat-style beers. Read Less

Harker's Glory

Charles Garrison Harker was a Union Army brigadier general – and a beloved son of Swedesboro. He fought in the Civil War and courageously died in 1864. This bold, resinous American Pale Ale (APA) is our tribute to Harker and all American heroes. Its citrus-like hops and caramel-like malts impart the sensation of a soft body and carry a toasted maltiness throughout.
​
Harker’s Glory offers beer fans a pleasant balance between hops and malts, which makes it one of the most approachable and enjoyed beer styles available. Read Less

As classic as fireworks on the Fourth of July, our Blonde Ale is rooted in the American tradition of brewing. The name pays homage to a time when our area was called “New Sweden” and attracted over a million immigrants to the new world. We brewed this beer to attract the millions of non-craft drinkers to explore the new world of craft brewing.
​
Our New Sweden is known for its simplicity, making it an easy-drinking beer that is not only visually appealing but deliciously welcoming. Read Less

Morton Mortonson was one of the most vigorous individuals to ever settle in our area. The cabin of Swedish-type construction that he built in 1654 still stands today and is regarded as one of the oldest log cabins in the country.
​
Morton’s Cabin Fever features a deep brown color with distinctive chocolate hues and a signature creamy head and smooth taste characteristic of a Porter. The hop bitterness is apparent but amazingly well-balanced with the malt sweetness. Read Less

Piney Dark is our take in the vogue style of beer known as Black IPA. Piney Dark is more than just a hoppy beer that’s dark in color. The roasted malts lend flavors that often work in contrast with the floral, citric and piney flavors of the hops. It’s a “party in your mouth” experience that is both unique and delicious. Read Less

Seasonal Variation of Our Classic Amber Ale
Autumn is upon us—cooler weather, falling leaves, and pumpkin spice everything! This means it's time to stock up on our harvest [amber] ale. While "harvest ale" isn’t a specific style, it’s a term plenty of American craft brewers use to showcase their fall seasonal beers. In short, our Fall Harvest ale is a beer created with fall in mind.

This Oak-Smoked Wheat Ale is our tribute to the vast and beautiful forestry of our state and the “mighty” oak that represents New Jersey. Using locally sourced oak wood to smoke the wheat malt imparts earthy aromas and woody flavors, which are reminiscent of campfires burning on a brisk night.
​
Smokey Oak is our interpretation of a historical beer style dating back to the 1400s but almost extinct in modern time. Often referred to as the “champagne” of beers, a Grodziskie or Grätzer has historically been chosen to celebrate special occasions in countries like Poland and Germany. It is low in alcohol, light in color, and crisp in body, with aroma dominated by light to moderate oaky wood smoke that can come through stronger in the taste. Read Less

Although winter ales like our JulTide Winter Ale, may seem new, Yuletide spirits have existed as part of the holiday season for over a thousand years. Back in the 900’s, “Jul” referred to both the Vikings’ holiday season as well as the strong ales they drank during this time of the year. Christmas eventually replaced the Jul celebrations as Vikings settled down into Norway and Sweden.
Though the style isn’t truly standardized in the United States, most brewers tend to characteristics Winter Ales as malty, spiced, and high in alcohol content. Our JulTide Winter Ale comes in at 7% ABV and contains vanilla and cinnamon. Tis the season to be merry! Read Less

Steamboat Philly is a light and refreshing California Common, often referred to as a steam beer pays homage to the marvelous engineering of steam technology. Much like the elegant craftsmanship that was put into the steamboats of yesterday, this beer is elegant yet complex. Steamboat Philly uses bottom-fermenting lager yeasts at ale temperatures, which provides us with a unique profile that includes both ale and lager characteristics. Read Less
