New Camden Co. Brewery Sets Grand-Opening Date

COLLINGSWOOD, NJ — Collingswood won't have to wait much longer for a microbrewery.

Raccoon Taproom will hold its grand opening June 1, bringing new life to the former site of Devil's Creek — Collingswood's first craft brewery, which shuttered in December.

The new establishment will be Swedesboro Brewing Company's second location. 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.

Raccoon Taproom's grand opening will give patrons a chance to try Swedesboro Brewing's signature beers in a new atmosphere.

"Everyone is welcome to come and experience the unique charm and quality that Swedesboro Brewing is known for," Swedesboro Brewing announced on social media. "Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, we can't wait to share this exciting moment with you."

Devil's Creek Brewery opened in 2016, after the borough began allowing craft breweries to operate in the dry town. The business closed permanently late last year, but Swedesboro Brewing revealed plans soon after to open Raccoon Taproom in the location.
