    Glad to hear it. Would love to have their stuff in Central/Northern NJ.

    Cool, that's good news. I go there in the summer and enjoy some of their beers in growlers. They already bottle some beers, right? Hopefully as they expand they start selling bottles/cans in Pennsylvania.

    They have a lot of promise but need a lot of help. Some of their choices makes no sense.

    This will be good for the brewery. I've learned a bit here and there about Heriot-Watt's program in brewing and distilling as well as their reputation. This guy's well trained and educated plus he sounds enthusiatic about being there. That's a great combination that should work well.

    They bottle their IPA, Coastal Evacuation, Honey Porter, and Apple Bomb.

    I used to live 5 minutes away from them. Want to get back down there to try Concrete Ship.

    For years my father in law had a place not even 5 minutes from there in the Villas. I'll tell you I spent a decent amount of time there last year and enjoyed most of their beers. Some are fantastic, some are just ok, but none were bad. Still, I think they are headed in the right direction.

    On my last visit there this past summer, noticed a bunch of wine barrel aged stuff stacked up in the brewery.

    Shouldn't be long before that stuff is offered onsite, indeed they're headed in the right direction with barrel aging stuff.

    I went and I wasn't a fan. Every beer I tasted had zero carbonation. I wonder if there was something wrong with their taps

    Lived right near the Villas. My Dad still lives near there. They're definitely headed in the right direction. Heard they're bottling their barley wine Sawyer's Swap. Not really a barley wine fan, but I'll give it a shot. Big fan of Coastal and King Porter Stomp.

    They have bottled sawyer swap at least two times now. They need to BA that and concrete ship.

    I had their Citra pale ale and ipa last night and they were both solid. Nothing mind blowing but enjoyable. Was a nice suprise to see it up in point pleasant.

    Very cool! Congrats CMBC! Have lint tried Topsail but will grab one now. Big fan of some of their other beers - City to Shore, White Caps, Mop Water... keep up the good work Cape May! Oh and they have a new double IPA dropping soon. 16 oz cans looks like it will hit distro.

    I had Topsail in the fall, very good. I also have 2 other of their barrel series sitting in my fridge.....but forget the names.

    CMBC kegs have even landed in PA, Exton has a few. I'm looking forward to the new DIPA. I've been grabbing cans of CM IPA and Coastal Evac in the area, great to see too.

    Man, is that cool or what? Guess I should append my last comment on CM, calling them the best sour program in NJ. Best in USA

    I do like CMBC and look forward to trying Topsail but if Heavy Seas is their best Brewery in America then I have to take their rankings with a grain of salt.
