Bullhide Brewery

Pilesgrove’s New Destination for Craft & Cowboy Culture

If you’re looking for a brewery with some serious “Yee-haw” spirit, look no further than Bullhide Brewery in Pilesgrove. Situated directly across from the legendary Cowtown Rodeo and right next door to Cowtown Cowboy Outfitters, this spot is a masterclass in thematic brewing. Opened in late 2025, Bullhide has quickly become the heart of “Downtown Cowtown,” blending South Jersey’s agricultural roots with a top-tier craft beer program.

As soon as you step inside, you’re hit with a stunning “farm-barn” aesthetic. The timber-frame structure and soaring ceilings give the tasting room a massive, open feel, anchored by striking antler-inspired chandeliers and rustic western décor. It’s the kind of space built for a crowd—whether you’re there for a quiet flight or ready to join in on one of their regular country line dancing nights on the spacious floor.

For those who prefer a view with their brew, the rear of the building features a private wraparound porch and a backyard area that overlooks a neighboring horse farm. It’s arguably one of the most scenic spots in Salem County to enjoy a sunset pint.

The Tap List & Brewing Philosophy: Head brewer Mike McDonald (formerly of Maryland’s Key Brewing) brings a wealth of experience to Bullhide’s 10-barrel system. The brewery focuses on clean, drinkable styles with a nod to old-world techniques, often utilizing New Jersey-grown grains and hops.
