New Brewery Nears Opening In Collingswood

COLLINGSWOOD, NJ — Collingswood likely won't be without a beer hub for much longer. Raccoon Taproom is putting the finishing touches on the space once held by the borough's first craft brewery.

Raccoon Taproom doesn't have an opening date but hopes to launch within the next month. The business says it's just awaiting final approval from the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, which regulates businesses that sell alcohol.

The business will occupy the former site of Devil's Creek Brewery, which opened in 2016 after the borough began allowing craft breweries to operate in the dry town.

Devil's Creek closed permanently last December. But days later, a South Jersey brewer revealed plans to open Raccoon Taproom at 1 Powell Ln.

The taproom is owned by Swedesboro Brewing Company — another South Jersey brewer. Founded in 2020, Swedesboro Brewing was ranked as the nation's second-best new brewery, according to a USA Today 10Best list based on selections by readers and editors.
