Located inside the Cape May Airport
A couple guys and a beer — that’s how Cape May Brewing Company came to be. Back in 2011, they brewed their first batch of Cape May IPA, kegged it up, and sold it to a bar up the street…
…and began South Jersey’s craft revolution.
Cape May Brewing Company began with one simple question: Where’s all the beer down here?? With that in mind, we decided to provide South Jersey with fresh, delicious, local beer to put New Jersey on the map as a craft beer state.
In July 2011, we found our home at the Cape May Airport, excitedly purchased our forklift, and delivered our first keg of Cape May IPA to Cabanas Beach Bar and Grill. Since then, we’ve proudly crafted balanced and flavorful ales and lagers for thousands of happy locals and visitors.
Throughout the year, hundreds of our beers can be found throughout New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, and Delaware. We are proud to distribute our beers to hundreds of bars, restaurants, and liquor stores, on draft and in cans, ensuring premium freshness and excellent service.
Our Tasting Room is the largest and most accessible in the state, with an indoor and outdoor space and seasonal Brewtanical Garden under the trees. You can visit our gift shop, “The Brewtique,” and take our interactive, self-guided tour, visible as you walk into the Tasting Room. While many production breweries are only open a few hours per week, we are open daily from Noon to 7pm for visits and tastings.
We’d love for you to stop by!
