Man Skirt Brewing is a unique craft brewery located in Hackettstown, New Jersey. Founded in 2015 by owner Joe Fisher, the brewery is housed in a historic downtown building that once served as the People’s Bank from 1905 to 2005, giving it a distinct character with high ceilings, exposed brick, and even the bank’s original vault which now serves as the “Merch Vault,” adds old-world charm with a modern, welcoming atmosphere!

The brewery boasts four flagship beers that keep patrons coming back: Czech and Balances, a crisp Czech pilsner; Better Than Pants, a well-balanced English bitter; The Great Porter, their original porter with rich, roasted notes; and Imperial Progress, a bold imperial IPA. All of the brewery’s artwork is created by local artists and art teachers, adding a vibrant, personal touch to the space.

One of the brewery’s most distinctive elements is Clyde the Octopus, a mascot named after the river that borders Scotland and England, adding a playful nod to the brewery’s name and Scottish theme.
