    My sister will be traveling for work to New Jersey soon. Don't really know what gets distributed there (that doesn't in Indiana) or any good local recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks BAs.

    Where in NJ? For a relatively small state, it makes a difference.

    She'll be staying around Somerset? But traveling over to Asbury park one day. So I know that would be close to Kane. But that's all I know. And does Kane distribute or is it brewery only?

    Kane has
    Kane has begun very limited distribution, but is mostly brewery-only. Carton has some distribution and might be available in better places. Magnify is also not that far away, depending on when she’ll be there.

    She'll be in a great area!

    She is less than 40 minutes from Carton. I would strongly recommend she head there and pick up a bit of what is available. They don't do the NEIPA, but Boat is the best session pale I've ever tried and they have a wide variety of interesting core beers (BDG, Milk) and some of the Coffees may be available for fills. She's also pretty close to Troon if the starts align on a release. Once she's in Asbury, Kane regularly has 3 cans (Sneabox - my recommendation, Head High - a classic IPA in this state, and Overhead - its double brother) as well as bottles of Solitude, one of the best Belgian-style American beers not from Cooperstown or Portland . . . the list goes on. If you life german style beers, try Little Dog in Neptune, they regularly have bottled options.

    Might as well go to Fort Nonsense brewing if your going to Magnify. They just opened up and are making some good stuff.

    If she's going to be in Somerset, Demented Brewing is the next town over (Middlesex) and has 4pack cans and large bottles stouts and sours. Admittedly, the big bottles are a little pricey at $18.

    Lone Eagle is hit or miss, but widely available.

    Bottle Republic in Somerset has a decent selection but most of their beers are sold cold.
