Two Ton Brewing

At Two Ton Brewing Co., our goal is to create well-crafted beer, focusing on taste above all else. We are part of a growing NJ brotherhood of craftsmen with deep roots steeped in tradition. We devote our full attention to the beer we brew, building off the traditions and recipes of the great brewers who have come before us while keeping an eye on the future and the possibilities that lie ahead. Ours is a family business in every sense of the word. CFO Dr. Mario C. Barbiere (call him “Doc”), is the father of four boys, three of whom can be found in the brewery on a regular basis. Our CEO, Matthew Barbiere, runs day-to-day operations, sales, distribution and keeps his finger on the industry pulse. Our Head Brewer is Jim Barbiere, who thrives in the atmosphere of artistic freedom and demanding precision that brewing demands. Our first business meetings took place around the dinner table – and sometimes they still do. Jim brewed his first batch of beer (perhaps recklessly) on the stove in his college dorm room. Years later, he again warmed to the idea of home-brewing with a more thorough, attentive approach to the brewing process. When the kettles started to outgrow the kitchen stove, home-brewing operations moved to the garage and quickly grew in scale. As his results improved, Matt’s entrepreneurial side blossomed and the two joined forces with Doc to move the hobby to a commercial scale.
