Our real estate agents are excited to recommend some excellent breweries and wineries in the area. The next time you're looking for something fun to do with friends or family, we suggest you stop by one of these top spots.
Gearblock Brewing
140 Franklin Turnpike, Waldwick, NJ 07463
Gearblock Brewing is a craft beer brewery that specializes in creating high-quality ales, stouts, sours, and barrel-aged beers. Everything is made in small batches, and there's always something new on the tasting list. The brewery's tasting room has a unique industrial vibe, and, as the name suggests, the owners are major car enthusiasts.
Gearblock doesn't serve food, but guests can bring their own. If you stop by, try the Chrome Cruiser, a Dortmunder Lager with refined hops. The Diablo, a Belgian Strong Golden Ale, is another top choice. Don't forget to look at some Waldwick homes for sale while you're in the area.
