great food and plenty of it - even i felt full -- and i'm a big boy - service was fast and friendly but never felt rushed -- got seated so quick the poor barmaid had to chase us around with our beer -- no gray area here will be back often

Hey Matt, couldn't resist.
Sad times are these when wandering Information Superhighway posters can criticize at will the spelling of fellow travelers.
I owe you a beer now... So we're even.

This place does have great atomosphere. After a few lazy jake porters, I began to see the individual atoms in the genuine stone walls.
No wait, they weren't atoms, they were spheres, no - hemispheres. And I didn't see them in the walls, I saw them when I looked down into the bar area from the upper level dining area.
Damn nice ones, too!......Never mind....

All the beers are at least good, some great, it has a well balenced menu with the addition of the pub menu a couple of years ago. When they first opened dinner could cost you a mortgage payment. Atomosphere is a bit crowded sometimes and service suffers and the bar is a little bit small. Defintely worth stopping in, by the way the building wasn't a barn it was a grist mill.

I really enjoy the atmosphere at the Long Valley Brewpub, a renovated 1700's stone "barn". The Lazy Jake Porter is one of the best NJ brewed beers I have sampled so far. The rest of beer is above average as well. The food has been hit or miss in my past visits, but maybe that has improved based upon the previous reviews, however my wife has almost always enjoyed her food here. I would recommend LVBP based upon beer and atmosphere...and sometimes the food.

My wife and I were here over the Labor Day weekend. We tried most of the beers(in the styles we like---ESB, Brown, Cask, etc.) again and we were not disappointed. All of the beers had a very smooth finish and were very easy to drink.

The food has greatly improved over the last year or so. Now I finally have a place to go with my wife(ride home). The ESB on the pump is the best that Tim has brewed! I think this place really has it together now. It's a little pricey, but you get what you pay for. I always welcome the chance to go and bring home a growler.

I disagree with JB when he said that beer is beer and shouldn't be judged like wines. OTOH, I agree with him that the beers and food here are very good. My only problem is that they took off the cookies and creme mousse a couple of years back.

I was a here last nite and the reviewer below is clueless. "5 colors of honey water" - there were 5 beers plus 2 seasonals - two were lager/light ales, two dark (brown & porter) and a nice hoppy APA (American Pale Ale).The seasonals were the Oatmeal Stout (which I found somewhat anemic) and the bitter, which just won a medal at GABF. The porter also just won another medal at GABF 2001. My only complaint would be the food is a little 'foo-foo' fancy but there are some decent pub food selections. I guess the reviewer below knows beer better than the Great American Beer Fest judges ;-)

The beer at Long Valley has descended to the "5 colors of honey water" selection that most of these "kit" brewpubs start up with. All sweet, all tasteless. This pub has been here for years, so there's no excuse for not trying to make good beers. I assume that they have lost their recipes and/or brewer. Even the Black River Brown, which used to taste as terrible as the name implies, now only tastes boring and sweet. Too bad. The food and service are still good (if you sit near the bar), but it's packed to the gills on weekends.

We had an enjoyable time, with traditional German dinners and tasty beers to accompany them. The oktoberfest was drinkable, but not as malty as i would've liked -- it was a little too "crisp". The best bitter was nice, but the best one of the three that i tried was the Black River Brown. Definitely worth it!

Best Beer of any brewer in the state. Food is very good. Building has plenty of character, but a tad noisy when crowded.

Beers are Ok but go for the food. The restored stone barn is worth the trip. Sept. 9 is the beer and seafood fest. Don't waste your time in the antique shops in town, more like a bad garage sale.

I hope somebody reads these reviews...or i'mm an idiot but in this day and time i'll take the chance. This place is lacking in one area and if someone reads this that gives a half a care from that establishment, they will send in some undercover people that do not resemble local fare and pay heade.

The hand-pump is always delicious, and Tim's seasonals are sure to please. Stop by on Thursdays for $2 pints all night!

This place is Great! That's why I moved here from Morristown. A great place to live and drink beer. Almost like having an english local pub. Now we just need an indian reaturant and a chip shop. Cheers!

After several years of average to poor beer, things have clearly turned around. The seasonal PonyTail Pale Ale was a hoppy treat, full of taste and body. The ESB on the handpump was smooth and balanced. Their prior seasonal, Celebration, was a winner too. Congratulations to the brewmaster! But can this be sustained?
The menu remains overpriced and needlessly esoteric. Little pub in the grub.

The beer has definitely improved! The Ponytail PA was great! Lotsa hops! And there is even a Budwater taste-alike. The dark ale was a little mild, but pleasant and the amber ale had a very nice fresh fruity note. Food is expensive, but good. The service at the bar is great.

My husband, myself and 2 kids come here a 4 or 5 times a year from Summit. The beer is usually always tasty. Not always acceptional as brewpubs go but, enjoyable. They need a few more seasonal beers to add variety. We find the food good and are thankful they have a kids menu and are very accomodating for children. I would reccomend it to families and motor cycle enthusiasts who need a bite to eat and a pint after a nice ride.

Another big stone and beam barn in a small New Jersey mill town. Six varieties on tap, including a very good Scottish ale (70 shilling) cask conditioned. This was a strong beer, smooth and semi-sweet with a full body and good walnut color. They offered a golden ale and light ale in addition to the usual amber, brown, porter. I had the golden and it was too light, the light must have been tasteless. If the brewer brings the regular selections up to the level of the cask batch, this place will be worth the long drive to its remote location. Growlers available, nice dining in loft of barn, scenic village.
