Morristown, NJ is a town rich in history. It was the winter encampment of General George Washington and his troops, as well as the home of notable figures in history such as Thomas Nast. Glenbrook Brewery pays homage to Morristown's history the only way they know how, with beer! Each craft beer produced by their award winning Head Brewer is carefully brewed with the finest ingredients and artisan craftsmanship.
Segment 1
We learn about the background of how Heath Traver and Darren Cregan came up with the idea of Glenbrook Brewery. It all started with a one gallon home brew kit and has turned into the first brewery in Morristown. We also learned the process of how they brew the beer, especially on this large of a scale compared to a home brew kit.
Today in New Jersey History: The Gottfried Krueger Brewing Company, based in Newark, became the first brewery to produce their beer, Krueger Beer, in a can on January 24, 1935.
Segment 2
Heath & Darren talk about the offerings Glenbrook has and some of the fan favorites. The brewery idea started with an award-winning pumpkin beer, but it's Colonial Ale, Morristown Ale, Kolsch, and more have all become staples! All of these beers picked up awards at the Brewski Awards. They also each have tie in names to not only Morristown, but connections throughout history. They also hint at some future offerings and ideas they have for the brewery.
New Jersey Fun Fact: The Lambert Castle Museum in Paterson has a spoon exhibit with over 5,400 spoons from every state and almost every country in the world.
Segment 3
Glenbrook Brewery is extremely active in the community. Supporting local restaurants and bringing in their food, education foundations, and toy drives is important to Heath & Darren. They do a lot of events like trivia, live music, and more to make it a family-friendly atmosphere. The team at Glenbrook Brewery is incredible, from their GM Conor to their servers, everyone makes you feel welcome and happy to be there.

Not Just Comics
Let's face it, at some point in our lives we have all read a comic book, watched a superhero movie, or played with an action figure and, whether we want to admit it or not, we loved it. There is something mystifying about disconnecting from the real world and getting lost in something you love. Whether you are a child or an adult, there is something everyone can enjoy and what better place to go check them out than East Side Mags in Montclair!
Segment 1
The owner of East Side Mags, Jeff Beck, gives us a total background on his career in corporate America and eventually leaving to start his own comic book store. Learning the in's-and-out's of how to run a business, he was able to take that knowledge and connect it with something he loved. He was at his original location in Montclair for seven years and just moved to his new location on Bloomfield Ave in Montclair for the last few months.
Today in New Jersey History: On January 17, 1876 the 30th Governor of New Jersey, Frank Hague was born. Known as the "Grandaddy of Jersey Bosses," Hague had a well-known reputation for corruption. At the time of his death his wealth was estimated at $10million, even though his city salary was only $8,500 per year and he had no other legitimate source of income.
Segment 2
Jeff discusses taking a passion and turning it into a business and whether or not the joy behind that passion wears off and how he works to make quality recommendations to his customers. We also discuss the impact of the pandemic on his business and how he saw the community he has built over the last seven years come through for not only East Side Mags, but the Montclair community as a whole.
New Jersey Fun Fact: New Jersey's state seashell is the knobbed whelk.
Segment 3
When East Side Mags moved from their original location to the new location, they were moving essentially across the street. They planned to put everything in boxes, put things on handtrucks, and walk them across and at 7am people had showed up to help. Jeff has been giving his community a space to explore their interests, find like-minded individuals, and make a difference in their lives. East Side Mags: eastsidemags.com

Greetings From the Garden State - New Jersey's Podcast
Hey there, Mike Ham here host of the Greetings From the Garden State podcast. You know, New Jerseyan Anthony Bourdain once said "To know New Jersey is to love her." and I could not agree more. The Garden State has it all, a diverse culture, amazing food, pristine beaches, rolling farmland, and big cities. What truly makes it great though, are its people. If you’re from here, you get it.
Each week we highlight the people who make up the fabric of our New Jersey communities who run small businesses, restaurants, non-profits, and others who simply love New Jersey and all it has to offer! While we obviously discuss what they do, we also learn why they do it.
With new episodes dropping every Monday, buckle in with me as I travel around New Jersey highlighting the next store you should shop in, restaurant you should eat at, or place you should visit. Who knows, maybe the next stop will be a someplace right in your backyard! To learn more head to greetingsfromthegardenstate.com or search Greetings From the Garden State wherever you get your podcasts!
