Esker Hart Artisan Ales

If you’re looking for a brewery that values nuance, patience, and a deep connection to classic brewing traditions, you absolutely have to make your way to Esker Hart Artisan Ales in Lincoln Park. Since opening their doors in October 2022, Esker Hart has become a haven for enthusiasts of farmhouse ales, expressive Saisons, and beautifully complex wild ales. This isn’t your typical hype brewery; it’s a place where craftsmanship and subtlety are the stars of the show.

From the moment you walk in, you can feel the passion. The owners have poured everything into creating a space that is both modern and rustic, with a clean, comfortable taproom that has a perfectly chill vibe for enjoying a few pours. The real magic, though, is in the glass. Their dedication to Old World styles is immediately apparent. They utilize a custom-built, steam-fired brewhouse and even have a coolship for spontaneous fermentation, a true nod to Belgian tradition.

While they are masters of the funky and delicate notes found in farmhouse ales like their standout Saison, Waystone, they don’t stop there. Esker Hart proves their versatility with crisp, clean lagers like Esker Light and a fantastic rotating lineup of hazy and West Coast IPAs that are packed with flavor but always balanced. It’s the kind of place where every beer on the menu is thoughtfully brewed and executed with precision.

With a welcoming staff, a great outdoor seating area for nice days, and a beer list that will excite any true craft beer lover, Esker Hart Artisan Ales is a must-visit destination in North Jersey.
