New Brewery On 55-Acre Farm Officially Opens In Mercer Co.

MERCER COUNTY, NJ – Bent Iron Brewing Company, has officially opened in Hamilton.

On Aug. 13, Hamilton Mayor Jeff Martin, Councilman Anthony Carabelli, County Executive Dan Benson, and Assemblyman Wayne DeAngelo were present for a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

This is Hamilton’s first brewery. The 5,000-square-foot barn is located on a 55-acre farm and features a tasting taproom where beers are brewed on-site and a sizable outdoor seating space with a walkable hop yard and fire pits.

The facility also offers a private room for events and beer on the go.

“We are thrilled to welcome Bent Iron Brewing Company to Hamilton,” Martin said. “Hamilton’s first brewery will make a great craft beer destination experience for our residents and travelers alike.”

Bent Iron Brewing Company was an idea that the founders Peter Brittain, Jon Kanuck, and Dave Sass, created in 2020. The three founders then brought their idea to life when they hired Dave Ascione as Head Brewer.

Brittain, Kanuck, and Sass, along with the help of their spouses, made their plans a reality by creating a unique destination experience and offering great craft beers in a fun, welcoming, and wide-open farm setting.

“Nestled in the heart of the state, our farm brewery offers a scenic backdrop, family fun, and, of course, refreshing brews”, said founders Brittain, Kanuck, and Sass.
