Jersey Cyclone Brewing Company

Was a little awkward being there solo while a whole bonsai setting creation class was taking place… lol… but I did enjoy my selection of beers. The staff was friendly and the Snowtober was phenomenal.

Been to Jersey Cyclone many times, the most recent being yesterday for a 5 year anniversary celebration. They always have great beers and fun events including live music and trivia nights. Staff is awesome.

Amazing brews, and the non alcoholic soda is also great! The board games and arcade machine are a nice touch!

Some interesting beers and beer names at this place. Please use a taster to taste as many as you can! Cos they are all good!! We had few rounds of beers out here and enjoyed every bit of it. They don’t serve any snacks so bring your own - establishment does not have any issues with it. However, there are few packed assortment on a shelf to buy - just in case you have forgotten to get any. Been there twice - with and without the snacks! Plenty of parking available. However, it does get crowded at times. Enjoy your beers here 🍻

Pilsner and Fujita Scale IPA were great. Eye of the storm citra and lager were ok. Awesome clean space and excellent variety with 15 beers on tap brewed onsite. Outside food is allowed. They have trivia twice a month. Drink local

The location is full of lovely details like a fire hydrant water dispenser and their tap handles have a cyclone shape. But most importantly, their beers are really good! I highly recommend the new released sour and their IPAs.

Great little microbrewery close to Route 287. The tasting room is pretty large and they have an excellent selection of beers to try. The staff is friendly and accomadating. Plenty of choices to bring home with you as well. Will definitely be back to this one.

11.18.22 What an incredible variety of beers to try. The venue has a cool vibe. The beer names and labels are super fun and creative. And the 8 beers I tried were all different and all great. What a gem of a place.

Nice local place. Bartender was friendly as were the patrons. A lot of different styles on tap with IPAs being the more prevalent. My husband and I enjoyed a quick stop but certainly wished we could've stayed longer

Great brewery!! Been coming there from the beginning. The bartenders are good people as well. They always have a wide variety of types of beers to try. Most of them I dig. Keep up the good work!!

This brewery was highly recommended. I am glad I finally had time to stop by. It definitely is a fun place to go. I was suppose how welcoming it was. The decor was lovely. See the attached pictures. I walked straight to the bar and ordered a coffee and coconut stout. It was delicious. I sat back and enjoyed the scene. Bartenders were very friendly. I bought beers to enjoy at home. Easy pick at the rear of the brewery. I could see myself come back next year!

Cool spot with a nice variety of beers, easy parking, and tons of games to play with friends. The beer tenders provided great, easy going service. Both were very personable and they made sure to communicate last call with ample time for us to get another round. Cyclone offers tasters, flights, half pours and full pours so everyone can get what they want. We really enjoyed the Sunny Day Ray sour. It was well rounded- refreshing, tart and 6% abv! Bathrooms were clean and water is available on tap near the bathroom. Swing by and check this place out!

BYOF - bring your own food. The beer selection is really good! Especially seasonal releases. It's a great local spot tucked away in a plaza with plenty of parking. In the summer they will have outdoor events. I do wish they had finger foods but it's a brewery you come for the beer and they allow you to have food delivered or bring your own so can't be mad Love coming here.

Happy 4th Anniversary Great beer and friendly staff. I enjoyed a couple of the dark beers, a porter and stout. They also had a great barley wine. They also had a strawberry cider that I took home in a crowler. It's in an industrial area

Stopped in on the way home from anther brewery because they had stouts on the menu. As a personal note: I am a stout girl. Absolutely love them, and for some reason, no one seems to be pouring them lately. It's sad. However, I got wrapped up in a stout cyclone the minute I walked in the door and built myself a tasty little flight comprised of Santa Pants, Deformation Zone (an absolute PERFECT stout), Double Stuffed Dreams, and Back for S'More. Pure heaven. As for the brewery itself, it's spacious, clean, and I'll absolutely be back. The bartender was super chill. The live music was great and the other patrons were fun. A great local spot.

The information we found online was misleading. They don't have an outdoor patio and even though there's no food here,dogs aren't allowed inside either...

Bring your own food, play board games and have a great time while sipping their beers. It a great place to hangout with and have chill time. There is plenty of seating at the bar, high top tables and some picnic style tables too (no outdoor seating). There is more than 10 beers on tap - Eye of the Storm Citra IPA is my favorite. Will definitely recommend this place.

What can you do after dropping teens off at Bridgewater Mall? Go to Jersey Cyclone while they're shopping! It's about 10 min away...my husband and I were impressed with the space and enjoyed the beer. Plenty of parking, tables/seating, board games, to-go cans...good service too.

Great beer, and great service. It's located closer to Rutgers, and a great option for a quick beer, with tons of great options.

First time ever going to a brewery and had such a great experience! The space is on the smaller side but tables are clean spaced out well. Each table has hand sanitizer. Weekdays are typically not super busy. We came around 6pm on a Tuesday and there were plenty of tables open. Friendly environment and staff was super nice! When we asked for recommendations, she graciously went through each of the beers available and described each one in detail. Almost each beer has a taster, a half pour, and a full pour option. As an amateur beer drinker, I loved being able to try several different beers for a very affordable price. There was a good range of choices, from IPA beers to stout and sour. My favorites were the Tranquil Waters and Frost Flowers. But I was surprised at how good the King Tide and Vantablack Morning beers were -- worth the try! I will definitely be returning to try more of their craft beers and enjoy the friendly environment. It's BYOF so I would recommend stopping by one of the nearby pizza places on your way here and picking up a pie!

Tucked away towards the rear of one of the ubiquitous warehouse complexes in Somerset.. Jersey Cyclone Brewing offers a variety of tasty beers in their intimate but comfortable tasting room. As with most microbreweries -- the IPAs are the signature brews, but Jersey Cyclone produces several types of tasty and fresh beer on-site and rotates the 10-12 beers on tap in the tasting room. There are several IPAs -- including New England IPAs, American IPAs, Session IPAs (with lower alcohol content) and Imperial IPAs (with heavier alcohol content) -- and other seasonally-inspired beers/seltzers -- such as Kölsch, Barleywine, and Bock -- available in "taster", "half pour", "full pour" servings. Colleagues of mine stopped by after work on a recent Wednesday evening to unwind over a few beers. When we arrived around 6pm, the tasting room was almost empty with only a handful of other patrons and remained that way until we closed our tabs and left just after last call at 745pm. I was hoping to sample the Flood - an Imperial Stout - but it's only available in cans which can't be enjoyed on-site at the brewery according to NJ's liquor laws. Instead, I opted for the Wind Chimez Session IPA because I wanted something on the lighter side; my colleagues tried the brewery's flagship Eye of the Storm Citra American IPA. All of us enjoyed the beers .. giving them a solid 4 out of 5 stars for their smooth, consistent flavors. Prices vary depending upon variety (and the alcohol content). Surprisingly, Jersey Cyclone doesn't offer flights of "taster" samples to sample several at a time. They do offer beer 'to go' with a limited selection of 16oz cans and a larger selection of anything on-tap in 32oz crowlers (a giant 32oz can filled with beer straight from the tap and sealed, preserving the beer's carbonation for about a month) or BYO growlers (a glass container filled with beer straight from the tap and capped off, preserving the beer for a few days). Pro Tip: New Jersey's draconian liquor laws prohibit microbreweries from serving food, so bring your own snacks or order via your favorite delivery app.

Great ambiance, BYOF is very convenient and they have plenty of space to play the available games. Enjoy the alternating selection of brews

Went there last Friday afternoon/evening and got a flight. The blueberry sour was my favorite! Shannon and Meg were both fantastic and very knowledgeable about the beers. Looking forward to going back again.

Such a great local spot for some beer and games to play! A brewery that keeps small, but you know they have the loyalty of their locals. The staff are always very friendly and can engage in good conversation, and they make a great beer. @rissyjayeats

Great brew pub on industrial type street in Somerset. All the beers are great and there is a soda offering. No food is served but there are food trucks occasionally. Simple furnishings with friendly staff. I've gone for the trivia nights that have drawn a fun crowd. I highly recommend.

Amazing brewery in Somerset. We're always searching for new breweries in the area. The staff is nice, the brewery is extremely clean, and the beer is good! It's not dog friendly though for anyone wondering.

Jersey Cyclone was the 98th brewery that I had visited in NJ alone. They have entered Middlesex County, which is one of the most populated counties in the state but still does not have many breweries. It is definitely needed there to give a communal space for funky people to hang out. They are located in an industrial park with plenty of parking. The space is on the smallish, but not too small, side. I noticed most of the guests sit right up at the bar, but there are lots of tables, too, for dates and bigger groups. The decor is relatively simple and clean. It still has that "new brewery smell." The beers tend to be rich, bold, and thicker. They had a variety of different styles. Jersey Cyclone did not seem like an IPA-only brewery. I can't say that they are the very finest beers I have tasted in NJ, but the brewery is still new, and the beers were all fresh. The two ladies working there were very friendly and efficient. You could tell they had previous waitressing experience. I met two different patrons at the bar who were both very intelligent and wanted to engage in meaningful conversations. It makes me wonder whether Jersey Cyclone tends to attract the smarter clientele. Maybe it's because it's near Rutgers?? I noticed they also got busier after the Rutgers football game finished. My buddy who joined me lives nearby, so I'll be back.

My wife and I LOVED our visit to this brewery. Great tasting beer, a chic and positive atmosphere with friendly and helpful bartenders waiting to assist you. If you are ready for a "Delicious storm" of flavorful and wholesome craft beer, then this is a "Must Visit"!

Fun and cool spot for drinks and games. Laid back. Good for friends to just come out and have fun. Great service as well.

Excellent beers. Great little hidden gem of a micro brewery. Love the porter. Oktoberfest was good as well.

Such a cool place with great staff and great beer. There's a wide variety of beer on tap for flights. New ones rotate in pretty often. Cans and growlers are available for purchase. I've been here many times and always leave happy. Bring your own food. They have some games to play but the chill atmosphere is more than enough if you just sit and sip.

Tried the sweet potato which I was not a fan of but I do like the uncharted water series- tried the peaches and cream which was very good. The dining area is a little small but it wasn't packed when I went. They also have packaged goods to go.

I love seeing a brewing area that is spotless, normally means the brewers care and there is quality beer in my future. After the tour I sat down, and was happily surprised to see a tap list not completely full of IPA's. The beers were all very good, friendly staff, and clean tap room. I will be back for more.

Wow, our first time in and we are loving it. The beer is truly phenomenal, great staff and the interior is very nice. We will be taking several 4 packs home.

Walking in, I was kindly greeted by a very friendly staff. Being my first time there, they took the time to give me the tour of the facility. They have a good amount of sitting at the bar and multiple tables with sitting for larger groups. Beer wise, they have more than enough to provide some to your liking and maybe more. Being a fond of pale ale, Pilsner and stout, I was able to try some beers out of my comfort zone and discover new flavors and beer types that I haven't got before. I ended up leaving with two growlers and planning on stopping by soon for some refills. Their social media page which is frequently maintained, will keep you up to date on new releases and future events. Throughly enjoyed my experience with the Jersey cyclone brewery and highly recommend it.

Finally, I have a local craft beer brewery to give my patronage to...to root for...to be a part of. For too long there has been a dearth of offerings for craft beer in the Somerset area. I have had to travel great distances, if not out of state, to fill my thirst for high quality craft beer. On Sat, May 4th my dreams came true. Cyclone Brewing had there grand opening with great anticipation and they did not disappoint. As I walked in the door, I was greeted by a friendly staff member (I think Sandra was her name) and immediately felt the craft beer vibe. The room was full of friendly people who share a love for high quality craft beer. The physical space is roomy, warm and inviting with seating for 85. They are currently offering eight different beers; a couple of IPA's, porters, and a Kolsch with more offerings to come. With my first trip I focused on IPA's and was very satisfied. I look forward to trying everything Cyclone has to offer. Do yourself a favor and get on over to the Cyclone Brewery for some great craft beer. #thecycloneisbrewing #njcraftbeer #franklintownshipnj #somersetcountynj Jan & Brian

Stopped into today to check out the beer selection! Friendly staff and great beer. We will definitely be back to check out the future brews.

Nice brewery, cool old school games (Battleship, Sorry, Jenga, ect) beer is ok. The IPA is clean and refreshing, one of the better that I've had. I will definitely be back and hope they improve on their beer.

Fabulous brewery in the industrial part of Somerset, NJ right off 287. The place is brand new and pretty open. Mr. F enjoyed talking to the fellas behind the bar. Beers were very good. The Snowtober (Imperial Coffee Porter With Vanilla on Nitro) was amazing and a favorite among Mr. F's revelers. Mr. F also enjoyed the Storm Cloud, which is their New England style IPA. We shall return.

What a super cool, hidden surprise this place is!! We went for my BIL's birthday. Place was dead, but it was a Sunday. Love that NJ Industrial Parks (warehouses) now have hidden brewery's in them!! Genius! No tall signage and you'll think "where the heck am I going" but look for the little a frame signs out front. This place is only three months old, but super friendly service, clean, and hip. Love the water station, so you can get your own water all night long. GREAT taps and lots of beers to choose from - tho, I prefer more of a high octane selection, there were enough to get me by. We played Jenga at our table, laughed, drank...super fun night. Wish this little brewery lots of success!

Check these guys out, nice brewery, friendly service. Best part is their beer is pretty good as well - if you're in the area, and like beer, stop in.

Great beers and ambiance. Tons of board games to play, and the staff is very helpful. Definitely recommended

NOTE - this is a brewery. It's in the name. They do not serve food, but you can bring your own. But bring your own utensils, plates, napkins, etc. This place only serves beer and ales - BUT, they do it VERY, VERY well. Went w/ 2 adult daughters on a Friday night to sample beers and just bs the night away. We brought in sub sandwiches and set up at one of the tables (see website for pics) around 7 PM. As this was our first time here, we each started with a flight of 5 sampler. I don't know where to begin. Started with Life in the Clouds hefeweizen, a great light wheat brew - and ended the flight with Touchdown Munich Dunkel lager, a bit too molasses-ey for my taste, but solid. In between, I had an IPA (name I forget), which was a bit too "hoppy" for my tastes, but even as I write that I see it's kinda' silly - IPAs are hoppy. If that wasn't silly enough, I also sampled a gose (again, name I forgot) that I found a bit too sour. (The daughters thoroughly enjoyed both.) But, far and away the home run for me was the Renewal pilsner made w/ Polish hops. Just a damn good pilsner beer. We went in hoping to sample and compare different types of beers and we came away very happy. If you want to know the difference between a wheat and a pilsner, or an IPA and gose, then this is the place. They didn't have a porter to compare with a stout, but we likely would have done that, too! We ended up leaving at 9PM - when they closed - after a few more Renewal, Life in the Clouds, Passion Fruit gose, and some I don't remember. If you go to a brewing company to really appreciate the brews, then you need to go here. They sell some varieties in cans (but I'm a bottle man) and all in crowlers, but be warned - you'll be coming back to get refills on your favorites.........and you WILL have favorites. Good stuff!

First time coming here with my boyfriend. We loved selecting our brews for our flights. There's quite a few drinks for selection and you can take cans of various sizes to go. Staff was friendly, always came to see how we were doing and seated us in a nice corner distanced accordingly from others. Definitely will come back for more S'mores (the drink).

Still smells brand new! I was happy to hear that they finally opened. The space has tons of seating - at the bar or at a table. 8 beers on tap with good flavor and variety. Looking forward to seeing this brewery grow.

BEST BREWERY!!!!!!! The beers are tasty, the atmosphere is incredible- its all brand new- modern yet cozy at the same time. I hosted an event here and it was such a success due to the brewery itself! The staff is so sweet and go out of their way to make sure your brewery experience is the best. Love this place!!!!! Highly recommend!

A decent watering hole in Somerset NJ. They have a fairly good selection of beer that tastes exactly like its ingredients. Great place to hang out, get a tour, and enjoy the evening. There is no food, so be prepared to eat beforehand.

Nice place, brand new and meticulously clean. Friendly service. Beer is decent, but not top notch. If you're stuck in the area for business definitely worth the visit.

EDIT: I'm knocking this review down to two stars, based on their dangerous payment policy. JCB does not accept cash, but takes your credit card when you sit down and holds it, out of your sight, the whole time you are there. This is an open invitation for a less-than-moral employee to skim your card. And, in fact, our card was skimmed at or shortly after our second visit to JCB. We won't be back until they change their payment policy so that we can pay cash or keep our credit card in sight. A great little warehouse brewery. Just started up but deserves support. We arrived here around 3:30 PM and sampled four summer beers, skipping the IPAs. The space was comfortable, the hosts were attentive, and the whole place was spotl. They've clearly put a lot of love into this startup. Oh, and the beer was good too, better than my memory. :)

Being a beer guy, I was excited to find out a local brewery opened less than a mile from my home. I didn't waste any time stopping in on a Thursday night with my better half at their spot in an industrial complex. Upon entering, they did a great job updating the usual minimal, warehouse interior of breweries that seem to be in everyone of industrial complexes these days. The concrete floors were painted and polyurethane applied to create a shiny reflecting effect contrasting with the minimal lighting in the bar and seating area. Cool ,subway lighting hangs from the ceiling over the bar and benches. People ate pizza at the tables, the place was half filled. We were "required" to attend a perfunctory tour of the brewery before we could sit down and sample the beer. I had never heard of Jersey Cyclone and was happy to see they had four different IPA's on tap along with 3 or 4 different Porters and these are the beers I sampled. Nothing about the offerings stood out. I found the IPA's without much complexity and the double IPA to have an unpleasant dank flavor. The vanilla porter was probably the best of all sampled. They have work to do to improve their product before they can compete with local breweries like Kane or Icarus or even Lone Eagle or Wet Ticket. Otherwise they're just another ordinary craft brewery in a industrial complex with a more than ordinary bar space.

Great brewery! Glad I finally got a chance to visit this place. I can see this place being super cozy in the evening - a reprieve from the summer heat or a place to enjoy a beer when it's frigid outside. The quality of the beer is really good, and the staff is super friendly. They have the cutest glassware too!

Really good IPAs, way better than anything else I've had in the area. Here's hoping they stick around!

Braved the snow to check out Jersey cyclone brewery,& it was so worth it! This cozy brewery makes for a great hangout spot in the New Brunswick area. The beers on tap are freshly made in house and we loved all of the ones we tried! I typically don't love IPAs but really enjoyed the ones they had- we even took home a growler of the "eye of the storm" Citra IPA. Another one of our favorites was the "Snowtober" imperial milk coffee porter. What a great selection of Dark and light beers. The servers were also super friendly and offered great recommendations. Can't wait to be back to this brewery next time !

Great find near a hotel stay in Somerset. After a brief tour, they filled our growler and sent us on our merry way. This will definitely be a future stopping point when going through Somerset.

Great beer selection, great people running the brewery, very nice ambiance. Will return many times.

My first time here was a good experience. They had a nice variety of craft beers to choose from.

Love this place. An amazing selection of really good beers in all kinds of styles, great facility, nice employees, and no televisions blaring all over the place. Nice selections of board games, very clean, family and food friendly. Have been several times, would have been even more if we lived closer.
