Do you serve alcohol other than beer?

Do you have outdoor dining?
Yes! We have an outdoor patio with picnic tables. Outdoor dining is first come, first serve, and weather permitting.
Can I bring my dog?
We will allow dogs outside as long as they are leashed, trained, and remain outside. And they can’t be left without an owner.
Beer
What kind of beers do you make?
We brew IPA, Lagers, Berliners, Mixed Cultures, and Stouts.
Do you have can releases?
Yes, usually release new cans every two weeks! All canning releases are announced on social media and by email, so be sure to sign up below. See next question to learn more.
How can I buy cans?
We use a platform called Beer Broadcast, which allows you to order beer online directly from your local breweries. Once you sign up, you will be notified each time we have a new can release, so you can make your purchase. On pickup day, simply head over to Alternate Ending, present your QR code, and claim your beer. (Just don't forget to bring your ID!) Sign up for Beer Broadcast here. You can also buy cans directly in our taproom, or order them on our takeout menu.
Do you sell growlers?
Yes! We have 32oz and 64oz growlers available in the taproom and on our online ordering menu. We also sell cocktail growlers and iced coffee growlers!
Can I refill a growler?
Unfortunately we can’t refill growlers right now due to COVID and sanitary reasons. We are only selling new AE growlers and asking customers to please recycle them, and we’re not charging for the growlers themselves, only the fills. It’s up to you if you want to hold onto them because we hope to be able to refill them in the future.
Beer Club
Do you have a Beer Club?
Yes we do, but it's currently sold out! If you want to join the waiting list, send us a note here.
Can I share the Beer Club membership with my spouse?
The membership can be interchangeable between you and your spouse, but we can’t give double allotments. If you are a winner of a raffle event, you can bring your spouse. If you are paying for a NYE discounted ticket, your spouse can get the same discount but you’d still need to purchase two tickets. Due to COVID restrictions, we need to keep occupancy within a certain capacity so for now private tap room visits will be members only.
Merchandise
What is your return policy?
We strive for your happiness, so if you're not satisfied with your purchase, we will take it back within 30 days, as long as it hasn't been worn and is in the same condition that you received it. Read more about our Return Policy here.
When will I receive my order?
Most orders will ship within 24-48 hours via USPS (not including weekends or holidays), unless you choose an expedited shipping option at checkout. Please allow extra time if you place your order on a weekend or holiday.
Shipments usually takes 3-5 business days to reach their destination anywhere in the continental U.S. The closer you are to us in New Jersey, the quicker you will receive your order.
Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with tracking information. If your order has not reached you in 7 business days, please contact us to check on the status. We will do our best to notify you of any problems we have processing your order, so please check your email before contacting us.
What if I need to change my order?
You will not be able to change your online order once you place it. If you need to change something on your order, please contact us immediately and we will do our best to help before it ships out.
What if my glassware arrives broken?
If you receive glassware that is broken, please contact us immediately so we can send you a replacement. Please do not send us your broken glassware.
