Today, Montclair Film introduced a branded beer created by long-time sponsor New Jersey Beer Co. “Montclair Film Director’s Cut Blood Orange IPA” is touted as a great beer to enjoy while watching a film, and a perfect complement to movie theater popcorn or candy. The special beer will be available exclusively at The Clairidge, Montclair Film StorySLAMs, and Montclair Improv Comedy nights.

In March 2025, Montclair Film at The Clairidge LLC began selling beer, wine, cider and canned cocktails to patrons at its theater. The beverage program at The Clairidge focuses on supporting and sustaining local partners, featuring beverages from many New Jersey based providers including New Jersey Beer Co., Ironbound Hard Cider, Montclair Brewery, and Opici distributors.

“We are so excited to offer this new, exclusive beer to our patrons. We thank New Jersey Beer Co. for developing this delicious product and for their enduring support,” expressed Montclair Film Artistic Director Tom Hall. “We’re proud to partner with Montclair Film as the Official Beer. Our custom label perfectly connects film and craft beer. Cheers to fans of Montclair Film!” stated Paul Silverman, Chairman, New Jersey Beer Co.
