Get Ready for Honey Porter—In Cans Near You!

It’s a really special day, y’all. Honey Porter, our woefully underappreciated brown porter typically available on draft year-round, is getting its time to shine in our traditional 12-ounce cans along with its fellow flagships!

Honey Porter releases in the Cape May Tasting Room today, Friday, October 15th, and it will be available throughout New Jersey and Delaware starting October 18th. Eastern Pennsylvania will start seeing the cans pop up starting Monday, October 25th.

You can order cans now from the Tasting Room, or check out what places near you stock our brews with our Beer Finder!

Check out how the Brew Crew feels about Honey Porter’s 10th anniversary, and what it means to them!

CMBC’s Brave Noise Pale Ale is 4.5% ABV, and brewed with Sabro and Mosaic hops for a crisp, refreshing brew that blends citrus and pine notes.

Beer with Purpose: Brave Noise

It started with an Instagram story from the personal Instagram account of Brienne Allan, head brewer and production manager at Notch Brewing in Salem, MA: “What sexist comments have you experienced?”

The question was posed on her account @ratmagnet earlier this year on Tuesday, May 11th, and Brienne soon began to see a flood of responses from people in the craft beer industry, most anonymous, who shared their stories.

"She’s a total pro who came in and hit the ground running, and she fits in so well with everyone that it almost feels like she’s been here for years!”

Meet Brigitta!

It’s not very often that we find a candidate who not only worked for us years before, but is just the right fit for the change that we need as we continue to grow!

Brigitta is bright, positive, and always jumps in to help where she can. She has been an indelible addition to the Cape marketing team, supporting our distribution side for both Cape May Brewing Company and Cape Beverage!

“I’m so happy to have Brigitta Faragasso on our team as Marketing Coordinator,” says Director of Marketing Alicia Grasso. “Her expertise in B2B marketing along with graphic design makes her a great fit to support the growth of Cape Beverage. She’s a total pro who came in and hit the ground running, and she fits in so well with everyone that it almost feels like she’s been here for years!”

CMBC Job Series: The Cellar

We’re lucky to have some incredible team members working with us here at CMBC, and we recently sat down with one of our cellar team members to get his thoughts on his time here and what it’s like in the cellar.

“If you like a fall taste, and you want that flavor without the ABV, this is nice, it’s only 5%. This is the way to go.”

Meet Tom!

Our newest soon-to-be Assistant Lab Technician, Packaging Operator Tom Dooner, has had a pretty awesome path to Cape May Brewing Company. We were lucky to catch him on his first training day in the lab for a few minutes while Lab Manager Lauren Appleman held down the fort.

Tom joined our team in June as an intern, before moving into the packaging team later this summer. Because of his background, we knew he’d be a great addition to our lab team, and we’re thrilled to have him aboard!

Without further ado, meet our new lab team member Tom Dooner!

We've got brews this weekend for each occasion!

Bright Days and Cool Nights

It’s the moment many of you have been waiting for since late last year…it’s almost like the weather here in South Jersey has been preparing for it, too!

Mop Water, our 7.3% Spiced Ale, is back, starting today, Friday October 1st!

But that’s not all. Although Mop Water is a sweet, winter-y brew that even Santa himself would approve of, we’re not quite ready to let go of summer just yet. Which is why we have a new seltzer flavor, the first in two years, for folks to try out!

Pineapple Hard Seltzer is infused with fresh pineapple juice and lime juice for a crisp and refreshing brew made with cold-fermented all-natural cane sugar. It’s also gluten-free!

Live music, a food truck on Saturday, and a whole lot of fall fun

Meet Cody!

Cody joined us this summer to help round out our HR (or People Operations) department, and from day one, he jumped in to help across different departments, including helping put together the shop shed in the Brewtanical Garden!

He’s been an invaluable member of our team ever since, and we’re so grateful to have such a positive, personable, and upbeat crew member on the team!

Meet People Operations Coordinator Cody Danks!

Goodbye Summer, Hello Strawberry Radler & Sea Mistress!

Another week, another set of awesome releases to check out! This time, we have Strawberry Radler, a release that will be on draft in the Tasting Room and available in 6-packs to-go from the Brewtique, and Sea Mistress, a draft-only release that you can try in a pint or flight, or go for gold and dust off that standard glass growler (the only ones we can fill at this time!) and grab a 32 or 64-oz fill. We also have growlers available to purchase when you stop by!
