This is a cool little Brewpub serving English style beers and English Pub Fare.

Food was very good the one time I was there and would go back for the food alone.

The beer was standard English style beer, and was quite good at that style. Had a Bitter (hand pump) as well as a Stout and they were both very good. They also have a nice selection of bottles mostly from England.

It was NJ's first Brew Pub and one I'd like to go back to.

Ship Inn is true to its name. It is an english style pub in an old house in small Milford NJ, a little village on the Delaware River.

Beers are brewed there using a Ringwood system, (yeast I believe was originally from a brewery in Maine.)

Best Bitter is their flagship beer, usually served on hand pump. Other beers include dark milds, wonderful irish (dry) stout, ESB, and winter warmer. They also have a good selection of bottled beers from around the world, though concentrated on UK beers. Also have a decent whisky selection as well. They serve a traditional imperial pint, and also serve half pints, something not often seen in US pubs.

Restaurant food is authentic English pub food including cornish pasties, toad in the hole, and fish and chips. Good comfort food.

Other nice thing about the pub is there is no tv.

Supposedly NJ's first brewpub. First impression when walking in was of an English pub. Kind of a nautical theme (duh, Ship's Inn). The barmaid had an English accent, hailing from the London area, I believe. Had the bitter & the stout, both of which were quite good. There were beers on tap I'd never seen before such as Old Motor Oil. The food was excellent. I had potato skins with Stilton cheese (lots of it) and bacon and a London broil sandwich that was perfectly cooked. When I first went in I wasn't sure about the place but I hated to leave. Would go back again for sure.
