On this episode of The Jersey Link Podcast, Jose Sanchez takes you inside one of Colts Neck’s most-loved spots: Source Brewery. He’s joined by Greg Taylor, Director of Brewing Operations, to talk about how a 19th-century dairy barn turned into a craft beer destination where families, friends, and even dogs gather.

Greg shares how Source was never meant to be just a brewery. “It’s all about the experience,” he says. From the farm-to-glass approach to the rooftop, weddings, and special events, Source has become part of the local rhythm. You’ll hear how they blend international hops, local heirloom corn, and even partner with Jersey Freeze for those milkshake IPAs people can’t stop talking about.

They also dive into what makes the craft beer scene so exciting right now and why Source is more interested in creating a place people love rather than trying to fill shelves in all 50 states. There’s even a fun peek into their Philly expansion and a story about UFC champ Eddie Alvarez stopping by.
