Immerse yourself in all Hunterdon County has to offer— including an abundance of quality craft breweries
The Hunterdon Beer Trail was established by Hunterdon County breweries as part of a larger effort to raise awareness of the county’s explorable and enjoyable landscape. Whether visiting the Round Valley Reservoir, hiking the Columbia Trail, or strolling through a historic downtown, visitors are encouraged to immerse themselves in all the county has to offer—including the abundance of quality craft breweries.
The beer trail’s passport system allows patrons to be rewarded for supporting these small businesses; visit all eight breweries this fall to earn a commemorative glass. Plus, the breweries are working on a collaborative beer, made with local ingredients representative of New Jersey’s agricultural bounty. The Hunterdon Beer Trail invites you to sip, savor, and explore your way through this scenic county.
