Morristown, NJ is a town rich in history. It was the winter encampment of General George Washington and his troops, as well as the home of notable figures in history such as Thomas Nast. Glenbrook Brewery pays homage to Morristown's history the only way they know how, with beer! Each craft beer produced by their award winning Head Brewer is carefully brewed with the finest ingredients and artisan craftsmanship. 

Segment 1
We learn about the background of how Heath Traver and Darren Cregan came up with the idea of Glenbrook Brewery. It all started with a one gallon home brew kit and has turned into the first brewery in Morristown. We also learned the process of how they brew the beer, especially on this large of a scale compared to a home brew kit.

Today in New Jersey History: The Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company, based in Newark, became the first brewery to produce their beer, Krueger Beer, in a can on January 24, 1935.

Segment 2
Heath & Darren talk about the offerings Glenbrook has and some of the fan favorites. The brewery idea started with an award-winning pumpkin beer, but it's Colonial Ale, Morristown Ale, Kolsch, and more have all become staples! All of these beers picked up awards at the Brewski Awards. They also each have tie in names to not only Morristown, but connections throughout history. They also hint at some future offerings and ideas they have for the brewery.

New Jersey Fun Fact: The Lambert Castle Museum in Paterson has a spoon exhibit with over 5,400 spoons from every state and almost every country in the world.   

Segment 3
Glenbrook Brewery is extremely active in the community. Supporting local restaurants and bringing in their food, education foundations, and toy drives is important to Heath & Darren. They do a lot of events like trivia, live music, and more to make it a family-friendly atmosphere. The team at Glenbrook Brewery is incredible, from their GM Conor to their servers, everyone makes you feel welcome and happy to be there.
