Cape May Brewing Company Named Top Brewery in NJ By Dads

What does Dad want for Father's Day?

He wants to drink beer and have fun! (Pretty much the same as any day! LOL)

Dads across New Jersey were asked to identify the brewery where they'd most like to spend Father's Day, and three hotspots came out on top. Mixbook surveyed over 3,000 Dads in the Garden State to find the answers.

Oh, yeah, Father's Day is this Sunday!

Cape May Brewing Company comes out on top of survey

The clear winner from all the breweries in New Jersey was the Cape May Brewing Company. If you've never been there, it's a fun place to try new beers, maybe grab some grub, even buy a 6-pack to take home. The brewery's tasting room is located right near Cape May Airport.

The survey's editors pointed out Cape May Brewing Company's "laid-back, family-friendly environment." I've been there with my adult kids. It's the perfect place to take Dad! (Kids, are you listening?)

"The brewery offers a spacious taproom where families can enjoy craft beer and fresh air. With a variety of beers and frequent community events, it’s the perfect place for a fun family outing. Cape May Brewing Co. often features food trucks and live music, adding to the vibrant, relaxed atmosphere."

I'm not a huge craft beer guy, but even I found several choices to my liking.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
