Associated Venue: Toms River Brewing
Established in 2013
The Irish are one of the many proud heritages that make up New Jersey’s past, present and future. A large portion of New Jersey’s population can claim Irish ancestry and Toms River is home to the most.
Toms River Brewing has its roots in Rinn Duin Brewery. Rinn Duin became well-known for its UK and Irish-style ales. They developed a cult-like following over their first four years.
Enter Jim Mulligan. With a background in natural extracts, Mulligan acquired the brewery in 2018. His vision is that a wide range of beer styles can be explored through the addition of natural fruits and extracts, along with an expanded yeast and hop selection. He retained “Bob the Brewer” and hired “Irish Nick”, a career salesman, concert promoter and lifelong beer enthusiast to hit the streets and spread the word.
In 2020, professional brewer Matt Hynes was hired as Operations Manager. With his vast experience at different craft breweries around the US, Matt has instilled in the brewery the motto of “we want to make the best beer possible and the rest will fall into place” as the guiding principle that now leads every decision the brewery makes.
The whole team is excited about the positive feedback they have received and are very optimistic about the future.
Toms River Brewing offers an opportunity to explore beer styles with an expanded natural flavor palate. Raise a glass–we can all be a little Jersey Irish.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: black in the pour and in the glass with a two finger khaki foamy head which slid off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: coffee sweet to roasty vibes, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and some sweet earthiness
Flavor: mildly blends the prior noted aromas together roasty and sweet with a light coffee aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper, some smoothness but also some roasty grip on the tongue; finishes earthy and dry with the coffee tones
Overall: nicely done coffee stout well worthy of returning to.

Pour is a clear gold with a large head that goes away quickly. Aroma is not much, a little fruit is about it. Flavor is again not much. I get more of a candied fruit than anything else. Finish is gone quickly. Not a real good example of the style.

Draft at Paragon, 7/26/24. Clear yellowish. White head. Mild aroma and flavor of light grains and mild hops. I didn't get much of any coconut. Very little here good or bad. It's just kinda fine.
