Brewery Buildout

From the ceiling to the….

The most expensive piece of “equipment” at the brewery isn’t the centrifuge. It’s not the brewhouse and it’s not some fancy piece of lab equipment.

Believe it or not, the most expensive thing at the brewery is our flooring.

It’s made of polyurethane concrete and is taking the crew an entire week to get them down. In the meantime, things are a little chaotic out “on the brewery floor.” Mainly because there isn’t one.

However, once the smoke has cleared, we’ll have so much more room for activities! What will we put on those floors? Well… you’ll have to check back to find out.

Le meme profil qu'une Focal mais avec plus de fruité en final et un poil plus grasse. Tres surpris.

Coastal Evacuation in Review

Our flagship double IPA, Coastal Evacuation, has been pleasing palates since its inception back in 2014, bringing home awards and leading the pack in double IPAs.

Packed with Centennial, Citra, and Simcoe, our flagship double IPA is big and bold, tremendously fragrant, with notes of orange citrus and honeydew. It’s as dangerous as hurricane season itself.

Here’s a look at what people are saying about it.

At its core, extreme brewing is the pursuit of exceptionally creative ales and lagers via unexpected or innovative ingredients, techniques, and methods.

Beer Industry, Fun & Random

We’re not sure when everyone started using the word “extreme” to describe everything, but it had to be sometime after 1990 when Vanilla Ice told us that he’ll “glow to the extreme, rock the mic like a vandal.”

Either way, they were all wrong, including poor Mr. Ice. There’s only one thing that can be properly classified as “extreme”, and that’s BeerAdvocate’s Extreme Beer Fest, February 1st and 2nd in Boston.

We’ve done some pretty major festivals — the Great American Beer Festival, SAVOR, Sour Wild Funk Fest — and we’re thrilled to add this one to our list.

Welcome Lisa!

Our newest barback, Lisa Shriver, is no stranger to the service industry, having been a chef her entire life.

“Lisa brings a great deal of hospitality experience to the Tasting Room as well as a great deal of Cape May experience,” says Tasting Room Manager Chris Costello. “As a chef, Lisa was looking to educate herself more on the craft beer industry as a whole, and what better way to do then working with the best craft beer around?”

Welcome Lisa!

“It's a very enjoyable class,” he says, “with lots of great lessons to help me develop myself professionally, as well as chances to get to know a lot of people from all over Cape May County.”

Local Interest

Leadership Cape May County

One of the unsung heroes in Cape May County is our Chamber of Commerce. With some 800 members, the Chamber works diligently to engage the community through a variety of means. They implement member and visitor services, manage special events, and work on specific issues. They’re tirelessly promoting Cape May County’s tourism and offer a variety of marketing opportunities.

Over the past four years, through their Educational Foundation, they’ve instituted Leadership Cape May County, designed to develop informed, committed, and qualified business, community, and civic leaders for Cape May County.

Thirty-nine individuals have graduated from the program over the past three years, including our Distribution Manager Justin Vitti and our Marketing Director Alicia Grasso.

This week, the current class stopped by the Tasting Room to hear what Ryan had to say on Leadership.

“We need to gather as a community to make sure those that put their lives on the line for us still have food on the table and a place to lay their head.”

Local Interest, US Coast Guard

Shutdown Donation Day

There’s something wrong when the government can’t get it together enough to pay the men and women charged with keeping our shores safe.

Yet, that’s the reality for some 508 servicepeople in the US Coast Guard, stationed right here in Cape May, with another 299 up the Parkway in Atlantic City. They’re out on the high seas, saving lives and intercepting drugs, with no pay.

Not only do our beloved Coasties save lives each and every day, but they’re some of our best customers. As home to the nation’s only Coast Guard Training Center, each and every Coast Guard recruit spends eight weeks in our fair city, usually visiting our Tasting Room at least once.

If our government can’t get it together to help them out, we’ll do it ourselves.

So, this past weekend, to Be a Good Neighbor, we held a Shutdown Donation Day to raise some much-needed funds and collect some food and supplies for the Coasties who have given us so much.

It’s never a, ‘Hey, man,’ or a, ‘Yo!’ It’s, ‘Hey, Dom. Hi, Dom.’ Everything’s by name here.

Welcome Dominick!

We’ve been adding quite a few packaged varieties to our lineup, and, as such, we’ve needed a few more hands in the Packaging Department. With Dominick Morgenstern, we found an outdoorsman with a background in fermentation.

“The need for our packaging department, even in the wintertime, was increasing,” says Packaging Manager Mark Graves, “and we saw a need to add a talented individual to our roster of packaging all-stars. Dom has been a great addition to the team so far. He shows passion to learn and do the right thing, and has been able to pick up new things quickly.”

Welcome Dom!

I would like to thank you for what you are doing and what you have done for the Police Unity Tour.

Police Unity Tour Pint Night, Round Two!

Each January, we celebrate Police Appreciation Month in Lower Township.

Every day, people around the world celebrate with a beer.

So, we’ll celebrate the policemen and -women who keep us safe each and every day with a beer! And we’ll raise money for a good cause along the way.

On Saturday, January 19th, we’ll be throwing our second Pint Night for the Police Unity Tour: Chapter II!

“It’s one of the classic ways of serving beer,” Chris says.

Beer Engine

We’re getting all kinds of British up in here, and we really couldn’t be more chuffed. We just got a beer engine in the Tasting Room, and we think it’s brilliant!

“I’m looking forward to working with this team,” she said.

Congrats, Kristen!

We’ve been growing pretty steadily over the past few years, and with added production and sales means that we need more staff across the board, including in the Marketing department.

Luckily, when we were looking for a new Marketing Assistant, we didn’t have to look far.

“Kristen Taylor was the obvious choice,” says Marketing Director Alicia Grasso. “Her performance in the Tasting Room was outstanding. We knew that she was a hard worker, and, once I sat down with her to discuss the position, her marketing skills were apparent. She had experience in social media, photography and videography, and writing — all things that are invaluable to our department. And we knew she’d have no trouble fitting in.”

We got together with Kristen to find out what she was looking forward to in her new position.
