What we’re about
Nestled in the heart of small, picturesque Medford, NJ, this lively brewery is more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a hub of community and culture. The building itself, built in the mid-1800s, is a blend of rustic charm and artistic design, with exposed wooden beams, warm string lights, and vibrant paintings by local artists. Inside, tables encourage conversation, while mingling at the bar fosters new friendships.
The brewery offers a rotating selection of craft beers brewed on-site, ranging from crisp lagers, shandies and IPAs to rich stouts and experimental seasonal brews. Guests can enjoy a glass or flight while watching the brewing process through large glass windows that give a glimpse of the gleaming tanks.
What truly sets this brewery apart is its commitment to social and music events. Nearly every weekend, the air is filled with the sounds of live bands and solo acoustic performers. The brewery hosts open mic nights, trivia competitions, and even occasional game nights. The Main Street is host to food trucks nights the 3rd Thursday of the month from March through December.
Events like the Halloween Parade, Dickens Festival and the Art, Wine & Music Festival are hosted on our lovely Main Street. Many events at the brewery are charity-driven, with portions of the proceeds supporting local causes, further cementing the brewery’s role as a community cornerstone.
Whether you’re a music lover, a craft beer enthusiast, or just someone looking for a fun evening out, Lower Forge Brewery offers something special for everyone.
