The hanging lights add a sense of warmth to the overall decor. The inner taproom has a seating area different than what I've seen in most places. feel free to scroll down and come back.īack? Good, let's continue. SPOILER ALERT: Chewy's the very last picture at the bottom of this review. Fair warning: You will probably be greeted by Chewy. The inner taproom is the one you immediately walk into. Between the logo and the mural along with the backdrop for the tap handles, aesthetically this was very pleasing to me.Īs for the brewery itself - there are two taprooms which we'll just call the inner and the outer taproom. There's the feather in the middle with the top half being the sun and the bottom half being the sea. It's clean, simple and has all of the elements of the Greek myth of Icarus. Personal rant: I have to say this, I absolutely love the Icarus Brewing logo. It was a long and arduous process, but thankfully, the time had finally come to release this brewery's beer into the wild. With the release of a beer that had been barrel aged since November, I knew it was finally time to go visit Lakewood, once more. It was the first brewery that I chronicled from build to finish and it amazed me the amount of time that can go by until the doors finally open. I do have to say that the journey of Icarus is one that I've followed since the very inception. Open now for a little over 8 weeks, Icarus Brewing has found a home in Lakewood, NJ. But for now, we'll stick with the theme of balance. The naming convention behind the brewery is quite brilliant, and if you do happen to take the tour with Jason, ask him where he got the name from because there's more than reason as to the "why". If you talk to the owner, Jason Goldstein, you'll come to understand pretty quickly that Icarus is quintessentially the Greek myth that fully embraces the theme of balance. With all the crazy beers and insane variants of stouts and IPA's I've had lately, sometimes it's nice to have a return to normalcy and balance.
