Waldwick NJ, file this under you never know what you’ll find at a farmers market . On a recent trip to the Ridgewood Farmers market we stumbled across a craft micro-brewery selling beer . So we thought cool now that’s something we could really use so let’s give it a shot.
Gearblock Brewing Company is located at 140 Franklin Turnpike in neighboring Waldwick. The company is a craft microbrewery with a tasting room that offers fresh varieties of high quality hand crafted ales, lagers, stouts, sours, barrel aged beers and everything in between.
Gearblock brews unique small batch beers to be able to shift gears at any moment. Their specialty beers are torque infused that are imperial in nature. With only a few core beers available, we offer rotating new and exciting beers on tap regularly .
Customers are able to enjoy their beer in our tasting room or take home via crowlers. The tasting room incorporates a unique and inviting atmosphere with industrial charm which completes the vision of great beer with great company.
The beers come in the “Gearhead” inspired theme . The inspiration for Gearblock Brewing Company started with the love of automobiles and specifically the components that create, harness, and transfer power to the wheels. Gearblock is a play on words of the crucial components under the hood of a vehicle and harnesses the engines power and provides torque to the wheels, without these components the vehicle is powerless. Gears which are housed in the Gearbox (aka Gearblock) have been around for centuries much like beer. They both have evolved over time and have been perfected to what we see today, Gearblock Brewing Company will represent just that “brewing perfection”. The Gearblock is a metaphor of this Brewery’s four walls which will house a complete balance of water, malt, hops, and yeast with the ability to evolve and shift gears in the marketplace.
