One stop on the Jersey Shore train from where I was staying in Asbury Park is the small resort town of Bradley Beach, home to two very different Taprooms.My first destination of the evening was Little Dog Brewing, which is located in a small shopfront, a couple of blocks west of Main Street.
The Taproom has no aircon, and was oppressively hot when I arrived. There is seating for perhaps 20 people, and this is more of a nano-brewery than a micro-brewery, run by two friendly middle-aged ladies, both of whom were working behind the bar.
The beer choice was limited to just six taps, and the styles were rather conservative by modern standards.
I overheard one of the owners tell another customer that their main focus was to sell beer to local restaurants, and so the relatively "safe" beer styles make sense in this context.
This is not a taproom that I would return to, but it is nice to observe the variety of people that are getting into this business!
