Anything I can snag anywhere in South Jersey (shore or burbs) or the city, please. I'm happy to do liquor stores or breweries, whatever the good stuff requires.. Thank you, as always.
In no particular order
Tonewood:
Woodland lager has become a staple in my fridge. They have a smoked version, but im not a huge fan.
Poolside - sounds like you already know
LawnBoi - a really crisp and clean pilsner. Great summer drinker.
Cape May
Cin Cin - italian pilsner that I haven't had yet but I've heard good things.
Boat Ramp Champ - helles lager that drinks really well, especially in summer
Tan Limes - really good Mexican style with salt and lime. I take this one to the beach often.
Ludlum Islands Kolsch is apparently good, but im not a huge fan of the style itself and their IPAs are much better so I've never had it.
Bonesaw Shore Town is probably one of the best lagers out right now, imo. Their Demon Blanc is a weird Belgian wheat that works really well.
Forgotten boardwalk just put out a helles called A Bright Idea that my brother says is pretty damn good. Frequency modulation is a dry hopped hefeweizen, but they dry hop with very subtle flavored hops - Idaho and Eukanot if I'm not mistaken - which add a fun touch to an already good style.
Eight and Sand has Nelson Saison right now which is a really good beer. Nelson hops give a tropical feel to a farmhouse beer. Buzzkeeper is a honey-saison so it's a little sweeter but also a good base farmhouse ale to build off of. If you go to the brewery to get them, you get the added bonus of getting Bad Hombre, which is a simply phenomenal milk stout that is low-ish ABV and would go well with a firepit and smores kinda night.
Then you have your staples, like Carton Boat, Kane Sideshore, etc.
I can literally do this all day, so im going to stop here. Happy to provide any other specific recommendations if you'd like though, be it a brewery or style.
