Flounder Brewing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flounder Brewing Company is a microbrewery in Hillsborough in Somerset County, New Jersey.[1][2] Started by Jeremy Lees as a homebrewing hobby, it grew to encompass other members of the family including his brothers, Daniel and Michael, and his cousin William. The brewery opened to the public in October 2013, and was first sold to the public at the Fox and Hound Tavern in Lebanon, New Jersey.[3][4] It was New Jersey's 12th Limited Brewery license and one of the first nano scale breweries in New Jersey, producing an estimated 50 barrels of beer per year.[5][6]
