For our first Pocono brewery review, I stopped at Barley Creek Brewing in Tannersville, near Camelback Mountain and the Crossing Outlets. Great location with a nice restaurant, very good IPAs on tap, and even a small distillery!
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!
For the past few years, we’ve visited many of New Jersey’s emerging micro breweries. Here we’re summarizing all the reviews we’ve written so far. Find old favorites like Carton and Kane, as well as newer additions like Red Tank or Bradley Brew.
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.
Our review of Frye Brewing in Point Pleasant Boro. A nicely sized brewery with a variety of ales, including a few great IPAs and imperial ales.
Less than 3 weeks after Red Tank’s launch, a new brewery opened in Red Bank, this time an addition to a well-known family: Triumph Brewing. It’s been an event long in the making and I was surprised that it opened quietly, without much fanfare, on a Monday in early November 2018. I had the pleasure of going there in just their second day and was really impressed!
Belford Brewing is among the closest ones to my home, and I’ve been there many times, however I never wrote a full review until now. The brewery opened in the Belford Junction of Middletown NJ in the summer of 2014, and since then (there were only 5 beers available first time I went there) it grew both in production and in space.
