Descendants Brewing Company at the Old Ship Inn • 1985

New Jersey's first brewpub pours classic English-style ales and modern brews inside a Victorian-era space where exposed brick meets ornate tin ceilings. Ann and David Hall opened the doors in 1985, transforming this Bridge Street landmark into a European-inspired tavern known for proper fish & chips and house-brewed pints. Reborn as Descendants Brewing in 2021, the legacy continues with locally sourced plates and small-batch beers that honor both tradition and innovation.
