Flounder Brewing

It all started in a kitchen in Morristown, NJ. In 2005, Jeremy "Flounder" Lees turned a small galley kitchen into a place he could make magic happen. Working with a small homebrew system he started off experimenting with different recipes, looking for the perfect combination of flavor and texture for a beer he knew he would love and others would too.

Flounder soon pulled in his two brothers, Dan and Mike, to help him with his homebrew adventure. And although all three couldn't fit in the kitchen at the same time, they manged to turn the apartment into a homebrew paradise. Wanting to go bigger, the guys decided to invest in a larger brew system - the SABCO - and moved the brewery enterprise to their Grandma's house in Lyndhurst, NJ where they took over the garage and driveway.

The guys knew they had something good....something real...something that people would enjoy. Wanting to turn their beer brewing hobby into a full time gig meant taking a risk. Still keeping their day jobs they decided to open a nano brewery with the intention to one day expand. In 2010 they leased a building in Hillsborough, NJ - and hence the Flounder Brewing Company was officially born.

In 2018 planning began, and in 2020 construction began at Carriage Farm to renovate 250 year old barns to become Flounder Brewing's new home with a new 15 barrel brewhouse. June 2021 the new home officially opened where you an experience your beer in an amazing location right in the heart of Hillsborough.
