Brotherton Brewing Company

What Brotherton Brewing Company does

Brotherton Brewing Company operates a craft brewery and community taproom housed in a converted historic firehouse at 2208 Atco Ave in Atco, New Jersey. The business was founded in 2015 by five lifelong friends and opened its original taproom in 2020; it closed in spring 2025 and reopened on June 27, 2026 under new ownership by hospitality veteran Eric De Angelis, with the property, brewing equipment, and New Jersey liquor license acquired through a transaction arranged by Vantage Commercial. The brewing program, led by Head Brewer Kyle Lieving, runs approximately 10 rotating draft beers spanning flagship and hazy IPAs, fruited sours, German-style pilsners and hefeweizens, a Kölsch, and hard seltzers, complemented by a to-go program of crowlers, canned 4-packs, growler fills, and build-your-own mixed packs, plus branded apparel and drinkware.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model centered on the taproom, with an event-driven programming calendar that includes live music, family days, trivia nights, cornhole leagues, and rotating food trucks to drive repeat visits. Its primary customer segment is local South Jersey residents using the space as a community third place; secondary segments include private event hosts (with full taproom buyouts available for up to 100 guests) and, on a planned basis, South Jersey restaurants, bars, and retailers served via wholesale distribution. Pricing is unit-based and pay-as-you-go — crowlers at $14, 4-packs at $16, mixed packs at $18, and 64oz growler fills at $20, with merchandise ranging from $15 tumblers to $45 crewneck sweatshirts — and all online shop orders are fulfilled via taproom pickup only.

The company is privately held by Eric De Angelis, employs between 1 and 10 people, discloses no revenue figures, holds no patents or external funding, and markets primarily through its website, Instagram, and Facebook event listings. No AI, API, or proprietary technology capabilities are disclosed; the underlying technology is a traditional small-batch brewing operation. The company holds no disclosed awards or compliance certifications beyond its New Jersey liquor license and standard alcohol regulatory requirements.
