2021 DRINK LOCAL BREWERY GUIDE
BREW JERSEY
Craft brewing is growing at an astonishing rate in the Garden State. Over the past decade, the number of craft brewers in New Jersey has grown from 24 in 2011 to an estimated 134 this year, bringing jobs, hospitality and economic revitalization to towns statewide. Fueled with entrepreneurial passion, creativity and, of course, outstanding beer, NJ’s craft beer industry has become one of the state’s most exciting sectors. Look for the many local brews now available at retail shops and restaurants and, better yet, experience the movement with a visit to a tasting room. Here are a few recommendations. Cheers!
