Westfield Breweries & Craft Drinks

Westfield, in Union County, is a borough in northeastern New Jersey about 25 miles from New York City along the NJ Transit Raritan Valley Line. The borough has a well-established downtown retail district and a consistent residential population that supports local dining and craft beverage operations.

Union County’s craft beer scene is smaller than those in neighboring Morris, Somerset, and Middlesex Counties, but Westfield and nearby Summit have developed a modest taproom presence that serves the local community. The borough draws from a population base that extends into neighboring Mountainside, Scotch Plains, and Fanwood. Visitors specifically interested in winery or distillery experiences will need to travel further west into Hunterdon or Somerset County, but Westfield’s downtown location makes it a practical stop for craft beer specifically. The Raritan Valley rail corridor connects Westfield to both New York and the western New Jersey counties, giving it straightforward access for visitors coming from either direction.
