- Climax Brewing Company
-
The Climax Brewing Company is an American brewery founded in 1996 by Dave Hoffmann. Located in Roselle Park, New Jersey, the Climax Brewing Company is a small independently owned craft brewery and is New Jersey’s oldest microbrewery. Its beers are distributed throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Brooklyn, New York City, Washington DC and Virginia. They brew under ales and lagers under two different names: Hoffmann and Climax. According to Dave Hoffmann, this is because "some corporate environments are resistant to the name [Climax]. To them it’s something sexual, but it’s not." [1][2]
