Tasting Room Roundup
Take a seat at the bar or a table at Fairfield’s Cricket Hill Brewery, where beers such as the Fall Festivus IPA serve up serious seasonal flavor. Cape May Brewing Company also offers autumn-inspired brews for on-site savoring—be sure to try the Honey Porter Nitro or Devil’s Reach while you’re there. Just be aware that their tasting menu changes regularly so beers available today might not be tomorrow!
For traditional German beers that are made of non-GMO ingredients, order a pint of Oktoberfest Lager or Winter Wheat Doppelbock at Butler’s High Point Brewing Company under their Ramstein label. At Flying Fish Brewing Co. in Somerdale, sip seasonal OktoberFish, made with a careful blend of malts and Czech Lager yeast. River Horse Brewing Company also offers your choice of specialty releases and brewery exclusives in their Ewing tasting room.
