The Two Ton team has designed the new space with reclaimed building materials from local homes and businesses, where possible. The taproom features a bar constructed from concrete and epoxy and reclaimed wood from Pennsylvania.
Murphy tables and benches throughout the taproom used wood removed from one of the oldest houses still standing in Asbury Park. Tables and stools were hand-crafted by NJ-based artist Brian Metros and Montclair University alumnus Pawel Wnec lent his artistic talents to murals and installations throughout the building.
