Brewery Buildout - Straight to the Pint

“Cape May Brewing Company is just going to keep improving,” Mark says.

Packaging Manager Mark Graves

2018 has been a whirlwind for us. We produced and sold an insane amount of beer. We’re tremendously gratified by that fact, knowing that we have only our fans to thank.

But, as part of that growth, we’ve had to do some rearranging of personnel, making several of new hires and moving around some Brew Crew into positions we never knew we needed.

One of those new positions is Packaging Manager. And, when we needed someone to step up and lead our excellent packaging crew, we looked no further than Brewer Mark Graves.

“I love the decor,” Kathy says.

Brewery Buildout

One thing we pride ourselves around here — other than our beer — is the great time to be had in the Tasting Room. We’ve got knowledgeable Beertenders to usher you through your experience, stellar Brand Ambassadors to teach you everything you need to know about CMBC, and a beautiful space that inspires our guests to have a good time.

Sounds like the perfect place for a party.

Over the past few months, we’ve renovated part of the Sour Brewery to become our new Barrel Room, perfect for your next event. We got together with our new Private Events Coordinator (and Beertender extraordinaire) Kathy Forler to find out what our guests can expect.

Everything we’ve done has been to be more efficient and serve our fans in the best way possible.

Our New Look!

As we head into summer, our needs in the Tasting Room change drastically.

Compare the attendance on a rainy Saturday afternoon in March to the attendance on a rainy Saturday afternoon in July — to say the least, there are many, many more bodies ambling about the Tasting Room in July, vying to taste our wares.

That’s simply one of the many benefits of running a tourist destination in a shore town. We love our seasonal visitors, and we want to accommodate as many as we possibly can.

So, over the past few weeks, General Retail Manager Kaitlyn Smith and her motley crew of merry men (and women!) have been working to bring the Tasting Room up to par as the days are getting longer and the temperature is climbing higher.

“No, we have not climbed inside,” Jimmy says.

Getting Ready for More Beer!

We really like making beer. We like making it almost as much as you like drinking it.

And you guys really like drinking it.

Since you like drinking it and we’re expanding our distribution northward and westward, we need to increase capacity. By, like, a lot.

So… more people! More hours! More tanks!

“The sky’s the limit.”

State of the Brewery, ’18

Last Friday, some 65 Brew Crew members poured into the Tasting Room for Ryan’s annual State of the Brewery address. Basically, it’s one of the few chances we get to have everyone in the same room at the same time. These annual, company-wide meetings are a great chance to get us all on the same page and excited about the year to come.

“There’s a lot of real deep science. It’s a whirlwind."

Andrew Takes Wisconsin

Madison, Wisconsin, may never be the same.

We sent Brewer Andrew Ewing to the University of Wisconsin for a two-week crash course in… well… everything.

This thing can shoot out cans faster than Beertender Steve Wilson can chug a King Porter Stomp....

New Toys!

Christmas came early to the brewery this year. It came with a bang, it came with great cheer!

Yet it came without ribbons, it came without tags. It came without packages, boxes, or bags.

You see, each brewer in Brewville loved canning a lot. But all they had was a bottler, and that wasn’t hot.

So they called up a canner — Iron Heart was their name — and each week with a canner to the brewhouse they came.

Till one day Hank said, “Oh, this just won’t do. We must get a canner! It must be brand new!”

To the Internet went Jimmy to find the right one. Brian searched and he searched, till his searching was done.

They ordered one up, and, oh, their hearts quivered. ‘Till Tuesday, our new canning line was delivered!

“I’m very excited,” Danielle said. “It gives me the opportunity to work more with the company. Every day it grows more and more -- right in front of my face.”

Congrats, Danielle!

Things move fast in the big city… er… the small, sleepy beach town. While the rest of the town is slowly entering hibernation mode, at CMBC, we’re sailing full steam ahead!

And that means making sure that the ship sails with a full crew.

When it comes to the Tasting Room, we’ve got our Captain: Retail General Manager Kaitlyn Smith. She’s got two First Mates in our Assistant Tasting Room Manager Dan Petela and our Brewtique Manager Emily Bowman.

And now, she’s got a third: Tasting Room Supervisor Danielle White!

“I hope it will be magical,” Justin says. “It should be."

Justin Presents at ekos_con

Ryan’s not the only one at CMBC with a full speaking schedule. Jimmy’s spoken at Villanova, and Mop Man did a presentation at Stockton University a few months ago.

This week, our resident magician, possessor of enviable biceps, and Distribution Manager Justin Vitti presented at ekos_con at the Le Méridien in Charlotte, North Carolina.

And Charlotte may never be the same.

“I’m jazzed our team was recognized by the Chamber,” Ryan says. “It’s the proof that we’re working hard to make an impact on our families and community. “

Yay Awards!

Recognition for being excellent is pretty awesome. Our beers have received many awards, and, as a business, we get a handful, as well. Last year, we were named NJBIZ’s Emerging Business of the Year and the NJMEP Startup Manufacturer of the Year.

Two awesome awards for an awesome company.

But this year… we’ve been awarded the Lower Township Chamber of Commerce Excellence in Business Award!
