The past few months we spent some time with our local beer makers in New Jersey, creating a small series called, Drink Local for the Garden State Brew Fest in May. Enjoy the films, and we hope to see you at the festival.

FLOUNDER BREWING COMPANY
It is a great day to be a beer drinker in New Jersey. We have some solid beer makers spread out all over the state ranging from big to small with everyone turning out their own little projects and giving us drinkers something to brag about from the Garden State. One of the newer breweries is a little nano in somerset county by the name of Flounder Brewing Company. Started a little over a year ago, Jeremy Flounder has perfected a home brew recipe that he has been making for about 10 years and is now sharing with those that think and drink local.

ATLANTIC CITY BEER FEST
After a few days we are finally back from an exhausting weekend in Atlantic City and managed to survive the Celebration Of Suds. Over 3,000 beer drinkers came from all over to experience live music, pretzel necklaces and beer from around the country. Continue reading “ATLANTIC CITY BEER FEST”
HIGH POINT BREWING COMPANY
We have had I Drink Good Beer up and running for about four years now, and despite that, there are still a lot of unturned stones in our own back yard. High Point Brewing Company is one such place and probably one of the best kept secrets in our craft brewing community. After working as a brewer in southern Germany, founder Greg Ziccardi returned to the US to open High Point in 1994 with German purity laws in mind. Filling a neat little niche, all of Ramstein’s beers are made to reinheitsgebot with the same care and precision Greg learned in Germany with all his ingredients coming straight from Bavaria.
POOR HENRY’S
Off the beaten path of Myrtle Avenue in Montville, New Jersey lies a family restaurant that has been around for quite some time. Poor Henry’s was opened 39 years ago by Ken Garrity with two original locations. Presently, scaled down to one location, his son Jesse decided it was time to get into the craft beer game and that is exactly the direction they are headed now.
