Magnify Brewing Company |
|
Fairfield, NJ. This brewery is in an industrial park, and I was staying about a mile away for a wedding, so I went there on a Saturday afternoon for a few beers. Small taproom area with some bar seating and a few tables. They don't have flights, but they offer 8 oz pours. They'll have maybe 10 beers on tap, so plenty to try, and you can get growlers (and maybe cans/bottles, not sure) to go.
Magnify Double Barrel Aged Point of Divergence
Imperial Stout - 10.5% ABV Pete Deep dark stout, with some extra subtle fruity, boozy qualities from being aged in red wine and brandy barrels. Outstanding. Rating: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Magnify Double Coffee It's Dam Cool
Porter - 7% ABV Pete Pictured on the left. Extremely potent smell of coffee and cardamom. It definitely has a ton of coffee flavor, but it's a little mellow compared to the aroma. Still a great beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Magnify Dunk Contest
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete I generally love mosaic hops. Apparently cryo mosaic hops are just too much unfortunately. This is extremely dank - too much even for me. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |

Magnify House Rules
IPA - 5.8% ABV Pete Like the name, like the look, hate the smell, hate the taste. I honestly tasted like this beer had gone bad. I trust the store I got it from, so I think either this is just a bad batch, or it's just a really bad beer. Ratings: Pete - 2 Shyoh's |

Magnify Hype Train (Mangoes & Passionfruit)
Imperial IPA - 10.5% ABV Pete Incredible IPA. Extremely fruity going down and extremely hoppy in the finish. I'm impressed that it's that strong, it sure doesn't taste it. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Magnify Imagine the Summit
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV Pete This is a great creamy citrusy IPA, but it's outrageously expensive. Like, 1.5x more than others of the same style. Not worth it. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Magnify Juice Bar
IPA - 8.2% ABV Pete Great name. Tastes like juice but still somehow beer-y. Probably because it was conditioned on kiwis, making it really tropical and delicious. Impressively light-tasting for 8.2% ABV. I can't hype this up enough. Find it. Ratings: Pete - 7 Shyoh's |

Magnify Low Visibility
Pale Ale - 4.8% ABV Pete Great name to go with this delicious ultra-hazy beer. The hops give a distinct peppery-ness to this one, which I really loved. This would be an incredible day-drinking option. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Magnify Maine Event
IPA - 6.5% ABV Pete Pictured on the right. Great IPA. It's juicy and almost a creamy body, like a fruity milkshake with hops. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |
|
Magnify Search Saison
Saison - 5.5% ABV Pete Damn good saison. It's spicy but finishes like a dry wine. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Magnify The Real Juice Boys of New Jersey
Imperial New England IPA - 9.1% ABV Pete At little boozy and too sweet at first when it comes out of the fridge. As it warms a bit some more citrus flavors come out, mostly mango for me. Definitely don't drink this when it's ultra cold - it will be much more enjoyable that way. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Magnify Thing of Beauty
Imperial New England IPA - 8% ABV Pete Excellent beer. Peachy going down with a grassy finish. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Magnify Vine Shine
IPA - 6.5% ABV Pete Super piney IPA, almost a straw-like quality to it because it's so light. Solid beer. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
