The overview of an 8-day trip around the breweries of Belgium, including Trappist abbey breweries, beautiful cities, tourist attractions, restaurant recommendations and more. A vacation enjoyed by the whole family, including our two little boys aged 6 and 9.
The Whitechapel Projects in Long Branch is a new and quite amazing spot. It’s like an art project, a sprawling space with an amazing design, and of course great beer and food. Located on 2nd Avenue, steps from the beach and Pier Village, right in between the municipal parking lots, it’s an easy destination when leaving the beach.
Our review of ManaFirkin Brewing in Manahawkin NJ. Perfect for a beer pickup on your way to LBI, if you’re going to stay there for a few days or longer. Or for a nice post-beach stop on a weekend trip. I was impressed with their tap list – no less than 24 beers! I don’t think I’ve seen a micro-brewery with such a large offering!

Our review of the Bradley Brew Project in Bradley Beach. This nice brewery is just 6 short blocks from the beach, a short walk for a break from the sun. The location is very cool, there’s a lot of room inside, and it’s also kids-friendly.
Our review of Last Wave Brewing in Point Pleasant Beach, located perfectly for Jersey Shore travelers, on Bay Ave, right off Arnold Ave. It has a big tasting room and a nice selection of beers including several very good IPAs.
