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

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 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.

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

Upon tasting, the pineapple flavor is immediately apparent, with a slight sweetness that is balanced by the heat of the habanero pepper.
