Welcome to Week 9 of the Warren County Grains & Grapes Trail passport program, where we invite you to explore the 10 locations and sample what the breweries, wineries and distillery have to offer.
With only one week left, it’s time to complete your passport, earn a custom tote bag and be entered for your chance to win a Yeti cooler chock-full of $600 worth of gift cards. And with that, let’s take a stroll to Czig Meister Brewing Company, the third partner located in Hackettstown.
What started as a dream, countless late nights, and a small but passionate team has grown into something truly special. Matthew Czigler, the owner and brew master behind every beer, set out with a vision to create a place where craft, community, and creativity could come together. With the support of family and friends, that vision became reality when he opened Czig Meister Brewing Company in 2016.
Now approaching its 10th anniversary on June 13, Czig Meister has become a staple of the local craft beer scene. The dog-friendly brewery, located in Hackettstown, New Jersey, welcomes beer lovers from across the region who come to experience its constantly evolving tap list and welcoming atmosphere.
With 24 taps and an impressive brewing team that produces around 90 different beers across 42 unique styles each year, there is always something new to try. From crisp lagers and hop-forward IPAs to rich stouts and experimental small-batch releases, Matthew Czigler and his team continue to push creativity while staying true to the craftsmanship that started it all.
Beyond the beer, Czig Meister Brewing Company is known for bringing the community together. There’s always something happening throughout the week, be it Thursday night trivia, live music on the weekends, or large outdoor festivals that fill the brewery with energy. As the brewery heads toward its milestone anniversary, it remains a place built on passion, friendship, and a love for great beer.
Dust off the denim, grab your crew, and get ready for a full day of throwback fun at Czig Meister’s Annual ’90s Block Party, Saturday, April 25 from 12-10pm. The day features multiple beers stations, food, and live music by The Tonighters. Also, enjoy the Meister Market: Spring into Summer on Friday, May 1, starting at 6pm, complete with local vendors and live music. Czig invites all the Moms out to the brewery for a special Paint & Sip event May 6 at 6pm.
