Today officially marks three years in our new space. 🎉

When we moved to 220 Franklin Road in Randolph, we were excited about the future, anxious about growing bigger after surviving the first big wave of the pandemic, and exhausted after building out this new location while simultaneously operating our Rt. 10 spot in Denville day-to-day.

Now, three years later, I think it’s safe to say we made the right choice. We’ve heard from so many of you over the past three years about how much better the Fort is now and how much you enjoy coming to our Randolph home. And the fact that we added a party space, a lab, and new offices to our facility this year makes it even sweeter. We’ll always miss some things about that first tiny taproom that started us on our journey, and that’s okay, but today, we’re looking forward to what’s ahead.

Come into our taproom, we’re open til 10pm tonight. Happy Hour til 6pm. DnD starts at 6:30pm.

Fright Nights Horror Classics in the Barrel Room was a success this past Friday! 🎬🍻

REMINDER: This week’s movie screening is on WEDNESDAY (Same timing—doors open at 7pm, movie starts at 7:30pm) and will be the 1960 NON-MUSICAL Little Shop of Horrors film. Runtime is 1hr 10mins and it has a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score. Here’s some more info:

🌷A lowly flower-shop assistant nurtures a carnivorous plant with a taste for human flesh. This cult movie was famously shot in two days by low-budget horror director Roger Corman and includes an early role for Jack Nicholson as a masochistic dental patient. 🌷 (It’s a fun one, we promise!)

And then on 10/25, we’re screening the ultimate Halloween flick—1968 George Romero classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD! It all leads up to our full-day Halloween party on Saturday 10/26 with flash tattoos all day and live music from 6-9pm.

We’ve also got Yoga this Sunday 11-12pm and Pints & The Paranormal with on Weds 10/23 (tickets for both are available on our website!)

Let’s get jinky with it. 🍻

We had a great time at our very first weekend in Hammonton, NJ. Met lots of great folks, hung out with some of our favorite breweries in the state, and had a good time all around.

And they lived…Appley Ever After! 🍏🍎🍏🍎

Do you remember last year’s short-lived batch of Appley Ever After Apple Ale that we brewed with ? Well, what we didn’t tell you is that we put a small portion of that batch into a Chardonnay barrel for a year and the result is deeeelicious!

POURING EXCLUSIVELY AT RIAMEDE FARM THIS WEEKEND: Appley Ever After Barrel-Aged Ale is a 4.3% apple ale brewed with a blend of Riamede Farm apples with a crisp Chardonnay finish.

Catch us at the farm 12-4pm Saturday & Sunday this weekend. (Live music both days, 12-3pm!) FNBC won’t be back at the farm again til 10/26, so don’t miss out!

Riamede Farm in Chester, NJ also has so so much fun to offer the whole family: apple picking, pumpkin picking, flower picking, an apple slingshot, hayrides, a corn trail, giant bubble station, apple cider donuts, veggies, pies and a fully stocked farm store. 🎃🍎🌻

See you there!

Main taproom is also open all weekend, come hang! 😎 Full taplist and more available at Fortnonsensebrewing.com.

We’re starting off our rainy Sunday with the Jets game on TV (!!!) and a event, taking 20+ Scarlet Knights through our lab and brewhouse for a tour. The Aslanians have many RU education degrees throughout the family (including Andrew, our head brewer and owner, here) so you can bet that we love teaching others about beer and the brewing process! What do you think he’s talking about here? 🤔

The best part: UPSTREAM RED TEAM IPA IS HERE! 6.6% of hoppy, florally goodness. This lightly pink beer is brewed with hibiscus and perfect for tailgating or just watching the game onscreen.

Our Story

Fort Nonsense Brewing Company is a Denville, NJ craft brewery run by brothers Andrew, Thomas and James Aslanian, that opened in January 2018.

Our love of brewing began when we purchased a beer kit for our father, a chemist, who then shared the gift of home brewing with each of us. If only he knew then the obsession he had started!

After years of developing our own recipes and sampling New Jersey’s many craft breweries, we decided to take the plunge and open up our own place: Fort Nonsense Brewing Company. (A crazy name with roots in local history — where can you go wrong with that?)

FNBC offers a variety of classic ales and lagers with their own unique twists and some nonsensical beers for the adventurous drinker. From our Benedict Amber Traitor Ale to Saison Absurdité, we hope you’ll find something to enjoy.
