LOCKS & PLANES DAY 2026: Lock Tender Pass at Varitage Brew Works – Bloomfield, NJ

Join us on April 18th as we celebrate one of the beers that helped define Varitage — Locks & Planes, our very first flagship IPA.

Named in honor of the historic Morris Canal, which once ran through Bloomfield and helped power the industry that built our town, Locks & Planes is a beer rooted in local history and community. This event celebrates that connection — and marks the start of what will become an annual Varitage tradition.

To mark the occasion, we’re dedicating the day to this taproom favorite with a lineup of rare and limited variations brewed just for the event. Expect a mix of fruited variants alongside three special collaboration beers we’ve created with some of our brewery friends (collaborators to be announced soon).

If Locks & Planes has ever been one of your go-to pints here, this is a day you won’t want to miss.

Come raise a glass with us and celebrate the beer — and the history — that started it all.

Lock Tender Pass Includes:

• Limited edition Locks & Planes Day poster
• 2026 commemorative Locks & Planes Day glass
• Four Locks & Planes Day pours
• Exclusive access to our “Never Tapped Again” Locks & Planes variants

Note: You don’t need a Lock Tender Pass to enjoy Locks & Planes Day. Guests are welcome to stop by, purchase beers à la carte, and pick up limited edition merch while supplies last.
