The Garden State is home to more than 200 great breweries and brew pubs, and each one is distinct with a unique vibe that goes hand in hand with their inventive and sophisticated beer selection. To make the most of your experience, be sure to order a flight of beer so you can taste and compare a variety of refreshing and surprising styles and flavors. (Keep in mind that according to state law, production breweries in New Jersey are not permitted to serve food, but if they are located in a restaurant, then you’ll find food available.)

Number 3!

MudHen Brewing Company

In Wildwood, MudHen is a modern destination for great beer, and it offers a robust food menu with an array of casual fare. Set in an industrial ambiance with a massive outdoor patio, Mud Hen is a popular, trendy spot that attracts beer aficionados from the Jersey shore and beyond. It’s especially raucous during the summer months, but it gets a thirsty crowd in winter, too. Be sure to check out their menu, and try some of the best sellers, especially the Rising Tides ale, 1883 IPA, and Mudhen Pils.
