Description
(From April 2013 to 2018, Rinn Duin Brewing.)
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.

Slainté!

Draft, flight pour, at the brewery, 3/10/23. Dark brown color, tan head, strong lace. Nice roast-forward aroma and flavor. Bitter coffee finish. I'm not opposed to Black IPAs becoming a thing again, feels like it's time in the fashion cycle of beer. This is good stuff.
