New Lambertville Taproom Opens, Promises 'Flavorful Journey' With Each Sip

LAMBERTVILLE, N.J. — Phillipsburg-based Invertase Brewing Company celebrated the opening of its new Lambertville taproom at 80 Lambert Lane on September 5.

"Our grand opening was bumpin'. Thank you to Lambertville and surrounding communities for the huge show of support," wrote owners Karen and Steve on their Facebook page. "We had an awesome time meeting everyone."

“At Invertase Brewing Company, we take pride in our distinctive approach to brewing, setting ourselves apart from the competition with a relentless commitment to innovation and quality through meticulous attention to detail, trust, and patience,” said the owners. “Our team consists of scientists, microbiologists, biochemists, and mechanical engineers who bring a wealth of expertise to the brewing process. This diverse background and scientific approach allow us to redefine what craft beer can be."

They added, “Each brew is a testament to our passion for creativity and precision, incorporating both traditional and unconventional ingredients and cutting-edge brewing methods that elevate the drinking experience," the owners said. "Whether it’s our vibrant, fruit forward IPA’s, our rich, complex barrel-aged stouts, or our traditional beer selection, every sip invites customers on a flavorful journey, showcasing our dedication to artistry and exploration in brewing.”

Invertase launched in Phillipsburg in October 2019 with four taps. Since then, the craft brewery has rapidly expanded its offerings, built the largest beer garden in the state (including a bandstand) and added a private event space. Today, it operates a 5,000-square-foot taproom and production facility at 51 North Broad Street, Phillipsburg.

The core team, consisting of husband and wife, Karen and Steve and son, Stephen, have been integral in the development and execution of everything Invertase Brewing Company is today.

Stephen is the company’s brewmaster and holds a degree in mechanical engineering from Lafayette College. He spends his free time with his wife, growing family and brew dog Brayton.

Karen and Steve cover the day-to-day activities at the brewery as well as off-site. Karen is a microbiologist; Steve is a biochemist. They have a small herd of dairy goats and the farm is also home to Brew Dog Blaze.

Hours at the new taproom are Wednesday to Friday from 4 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 1 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 6 p.m.
