This was an absolutely amazing experience. Our guide Darren, was also the owner, and his love & enthusiasm of craft beer was radiant. We went to 4 locations, Little Dog, White Chapel Project, Jughandle, and Bradley Brew Project. At each location, Darren chose different styles of beer for us to sample, and definitely exposed me to a few styles I would never order by myself.
Spoiler alert, all the beer is great! The meal was awesome, and even though I thought it was small, it was actually the perfect amount. Darren blew my mind with a ricotta & bruschetta toast paired with a sour IPA. Having a sober driver is alone worth the ticket price, but the experience overall was elite.
We also went behind the scenes at all the locations. Darren showed us how the beer was made, from grain to glass! It was educational, but we had such a good time with a few other groups that booked separately. Beer really is the magic elixir! I also picked up a few 4 packs, and while there is no drinking on the van, there was a cooler to keep them cold!
Darren also mentioned that he does private tours/events for birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and corporate events and teambuilding. I will definitely be seeing if my boss will organize something for our team just so I can come back again!
Don't miss out on a top tier Jersey Shore brewery experience, I never would have found all these breweries myself!
