Waldwick Breweries & Craft Drinks | NJDrinks

Skip to main content

Waldwick, in Bergen County, is a small borough in northeastern New Jersey, situated in the Ramapo Valley area near Ridgewood and Ramsey. The borough has direct NJ Transit rail access on the Main/Bergen County Line, connecting it to Hoboken and New York Penn Station, which positions it as a commuter community with straightforward access to the broader metropolitan area.

Bergen County’s craft beverage scene has grown in recent years, with breweries concentrated in the more urbanized eastern portions of the county as well as in suburban towns throughout the interior. Waldwick and the surrounding Ridgewood area draw visitors from across the northern Bergen County corridor. Winery and distillery options are sparse in Bergen County; visitors looking for those experiences should plan to travel west into Passaic County or into the Skylands region of Sussex County. Within the Pascack Valley and Ramapo area, Waldwick taprooms are a convenient stop on a northern Bergen County craft beverage itinerary.
