Garden State Beer Co. - Absecon, NJ

Located close to Atlantic City Airport, adjacent to Garden State Parkway, and among a dozen or so
hotels and motels that serve the airport traffic, Garden State looks well placed to thrive.

The Brewery and Taproom occupy a large building that looks like it was formerly a restaurant/bar of some kind. The modest production facility looks almost lost at one end of the cavernous space, and there is an immense island-bar that spans most of the room, which has been overlooked, in favour of a more intimate bar setup in the opposite corner from the brewery itself.

The room could easily accommodate 150 people, so the current setup has excellent scope for expansion.

There were 10 draft beers available including several innovating options, most memorable of which was a blonde ale with an extraordinary aroma of freshly cut chilli peppers!

As I was in no particular hurry, I worked my way through the entire menu, and I was made to feel extremely welcome by both customers and staff alike.
