A cozy tasting room. Check. A rotating wide variety of beer on tap. Check. And a Bougie Bubbles Hard Seltzer line. Check.
That is what you get at Three 3’s Brewing Company, a small family-friendly run business, just outside Downtown Hammonton on 13th Street near Route 55, according to its “About Us” page.
“We aim to have something for everyone.”
And something for everyone is spot on.
Established in 2016, the business has been doing its part to make the brewery experience anything but typical.
The outdoor Beer Garden allows guests to “enjoy the weather and catch some of the best sunsets around.” Their products are distributed in fine retailers and restaurants throughout New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania.
Everyone’s welcome! Remember “family-friendly fun” business. Three 3’s has their own craft soda to serve those under the drinking age so they are able to “drink” as well.
The craft soda currently on tap is a Peaches Soda described as “a tea-based craft soda with ginger sweet peach herbal tea and smooth peach green tea.”
How refreshing!
Cutline: Three 3’s Brewing Company aims to have something for everyone from a wide variety of beer on tap to a Bougie Bubbles Hard Seltzer line.
A lot goes into the brewery process – cleaning, filling and preparing – the tanks for the beer, according to owner Mike Geller, who displays a sense of – not only knowledge, but love for his clean beer product.
“As someone in the craft beer industry, I can tell you that it wasn’t about becoming rich,” Geller shared. “Just like an artist, you do your craft for the love of it.
“For me, I get to come to work and use my love of science and creativity to create new and tasty beers.”
As a small brewery, it can be challenging to stay with the likes of Yuengling or Sam Adams. But Three 3’s is holding its own as a small business, which can be tough at times.
They don’t get the marketing and recognition power, however, thanks to “the amazing local community in Hammonton,” Three 3’s has been able thrive and survive through the pandemic and beyond.
Geller has been overwhelmed with how supportive the community has been. He has been using his brewery and platform to help different causes around town.
“While I only get so many events a year, I do my best to try to help the community,” Geller said. “Whether I can host an adoption event for the local animal shelters or raise money for a great cause, it means a lot to be able to help a community that supported us through a difficult time.”
Three 3’s is definitely more than a brewery with the feeling that you could enjoy “multiple beers and spend more than an hour” tasting the different beers on tap. It goes back to the phrase “it has something for everyone” – from Shandys and Lagers to IPAs and seltzers.
Have a taste for sour or dark and roasty, Three 3’s has got you covered.
Geller and his team are always experimenting with new flavors.
“In the summer, craft beer fans want to find a beer they can drink that is not necessarily heavy like a typical IPA,” he said. “We started to experiment with some of our beers and found this Cold IPA recipe and made our own twist to it.”
Geller allows his employees who aren’t brewers to come up with a flavor and make a special batch of beer. Whether its Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal added in or Oreo Ice Cream to real fruit, Geller and his team have tried it all.
With real fruit brewed into the beers, patrons truly get a whirlwind of flavors that absolutely compliment each other.
If you didn’t know, Hammonton is known as “the blueberry capital of the world.” Hence one of the beers on tap is the Blue Devil – Blueberry Saison.
It is described as a “classic light body Saison flavored with mosaic hops and then conditioned on a truckload of local Hammonton blueberries, creating a beautifully colored farmhouse ale!
Three 3’s Brewing Company is located at 50 13th St. and is a member of the South Jersey Wine and Ale Trail.
