New Jersey has quite the craft beer scene, with over 40 breweries and counting. And it’s not just quantity, we’ve got quality – Garden State beers bring in the awards! Cape May Brewing Co. has been ranked among the best breweries in the nation, and their very own Topsail was named the best beer in the United States! But today’s post isn’t about beach town breweries (as wonderful as they might be)…it’s about a beachfront brewery!
