Over the past decade, the craft beer scene has really blossomed here in New Jersey. Every year, new micro and nano breweries pop up across the Garden State, and we couldn’t be happier. Many of our local beers have won national awards and today we have some phenomenal new news to report…New Jersey is home to the BEST beer in America.
Cape May Brewing Co. got its start back in 2011 and has done some truly incredible things since then.

Though Topsail is certainly one of their best beers, there are many more worth trying. Check out the seasonal Biscuits and Honey, or The Bog Cranberry Shandy for something light and refreshing.
