“Marvelously impressed with the overhaul since new ownership, the new beer styles especially, the attention to detail in everything they do—looking forward to seeing what else the team at TRB comes up with.” —Howard Trinc, local beer sipper
Jim Mulligan acquired Rinn Duin Brewery in 2018; soon enough, it was known as Toms River Brewing—and was leaving a major mark on New Jersey’s craft beer industry. By expanding on classic beer styles and exploring with natural fl avors, the brewery creates a diverse collection of beers appealing to both the casual sipper and avid craft beer enthusiast. Enigmatic head brewer Bob Warzecha mans the brew house and continues to keep fl agship beers, such as St. John’s Irish Red Ale, Sweet Nothin’ Honey Cream Ale, and High Cross Red Rye India Pale Ale on tap and in cans throughout New Jersey. Toms River Brewing recently expanded its brewing system to create and test out interesting new brews like Irish Eye’s, a hazy and juicy New England style IPA. The brewery encourages readers to stop by its newly renovated tap room for fresh flights, pints, cans, growlers and crowlers.
