New Wayne Brewery Delayed By Coronavirus Opens For Take-Out

WAYNE, NJ — Seven Tribesmen Brewery didn't plan on this to be the way they opened their business. In fact, the opening isn't even happening on time.

However, the new Wayne microbrewery announced in a news release that they will open doors for takeout crowlers (32 oz. cans) and growlers on Saturday, May 30.

The brewery, located on NJ-23 across from the Mothers Park & Ride, originally scheduled to open in May with a grand opening of the taproom.

“This is not the grand opening we imagined, but we are so excited to open after so much hard work. We really hope it brings people a little joy, to have their first Seven Tribesmen beer,” said Imre Varga, whose title is “marketing shaman.”

According to a news release, the brewery will offer various styles of beer, including an ale with a rather unusual flavor profile.

“Paprika Ale is incredibly unique and flavorful. I’m really excited about our saison too, it’s light and makes for a great Springtime beer,” said head brewer Laszlo Varga.

Varga, a home brewer originally, decided to take his passion for brewing to the commercial level and open a microbrewery.

“It’s really the dream to share my passion with the community. We built a lot of the taproom ourselves with the help of some incredibly talented friends,” he said.

According to the news release, though there is still no indication when regular operations can begin, the brewery is taking precautions for the safety of take-out patrons.

“The safety of our employees and customers is first, but the freshest beer you can find is second. The entire takeout process can be done online, from ordering to paying, with pickup directly from the brewery,” said Varga.

Orders can be placed and paid for on the Seven Tribesmen website: www.seventribesmen.com.

The first day for pick up will be Saturday, May 30 with pre-orders starting May 28. After the opening weekend, the brewery will be open for takeout on Thursday-Friday, 2-6 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 12-6 p.m.
