Surfing in NJ requires an arsenal of different wetsuits, and as the crisp autumn air sets in, a solid 3/2 fullsuit is a necessity for the pumping swells on the east coast. This black lager pays homage to the 3/2 with hints of chocolate and roasted coffee, but with a crisp finish born from the lager yeast. It’s dark and flavorful, but it’s not heavy, making it a perfect beer for the subtle changes of autumn. Try on 3/2 with your favorite friends and flannel for the optimal experience.

Peer through the haze of this beer and you’ll be rewarded with a unique punch of flavor brought on by a creamy wheat body and the tropical aroma and flavors of some famous C hops. This is most certainly an IPA, but it does its thing without battering your tastebuds like a nasty north wind.

The Boneyard is the zone where the waves detonate without remorse. It can be a wild place, but you have to make it through if you want to get into the lineup when the waves are firing. Our West Coast double IPA pays homage to those hearty surfers willing to take a few sets on the head for their just reward. A burly India Pale Ale that slams your taste buds with piney, resinous flavors and notes of citrus capping it off. Boneyard unleashes some serious bitterness as well, which gets some balance from the sturdy malt backbone of this complex, yet classic double IPA.

The critical section of a wave is where you make or break a ride. Unload with a big, stylish turn or stall and get barreled? It’s up to you. Luckily, this New England-style IPA makes all the right moves. Critical Section gets technical with a heavy double dry hop of Citra, Mosaic & El Dorado and is dripping with notes of tropical, candied fruit up front with a delightfully crisp finish of white peach and stone fruit set on pillowy soft, hazy body.

Spring comes slow at the Jersey Shore. To help you weather the chilly evenings and surf sessions ahead, we bring you Defroster. Our Winter Warmer has an inviting amber hue, but don’t let the color fool you—it packs a wallop with a malty, full-bodied flavor that gets a little sweetness from a helping of maple syrup and toasted pecans. It’s sure to warm you up after a brisk winter day at the beach.

Don’t let the doldrums of summer get you down. This witbier is true to form as it lets the Belgian yeast take center stage with notes of banana and clove.

Where the warmth of the rays of sunlight linger while the twilight quietly makes its presence known— the Golden Hour IPA resides. An IPA bursting with the refreshing tropical notes of peach and mango, which spring from liberal additions of Azacca and Ekuanot hops. This flavor is accentuated by its hazy, sunstreaked hue and balanced bitterness. The moment is here—time to capture the Golden Hour.

Taking a high line in surfing requires, skill, balance, and timeless style to get where you want to be—in the barrel. That’s why we decided to make what we’re calling an old school IPA. It boasts a balanced attack that includes a solid malt body, hearty bitterness, and a resinous, fruity hop punch that springs forth from copious doses of Centennial and Eureka. This brew pays homage to the IPAs that started the craft beer craze. So take the high line and you’ll be rewarded with a harmonious beverage that ignores the trends in order to deliver an enjoyably hoppy experience that never goes out of style.

As the summer fades and the familiar sights and scents of Autumn take hold, the time comes for a beer that can complement the beauty that comes with fall at the Jersey Shore. It’s also about those storm swells that lend themselves to barreling rights that require the supreme commitment of a Late Takeoff. This English-style Brown Ale welcomes those crisp afternoon sessions with open arms and a hearty grain bill. Late Takeoff offers up notes of toffee and a slight nuttiness that’s complimented by locally roasted Sumatran coffee from Port Roasters and a dash of chicory.

The Layback Pale Ale pays homage to a classic surfing move and a classic American beer style all at once. This balanced pale ale gives you smooth notes of caramel in the malt profile up front with an aggressive kick of bitterness and flavor that’s pulled out of the Amarillo® hops used in this brew. Like the stylish turn it gets its name from, this beer is equal parts style and power.

Brewed to capture the essence of summer at the Jersey Shore. It starts with the light, crisp body of a refreshing Kolsch-style ale and then kicks it up a notch (as we do here at the shore) with a hearty dose of whirlpool hop additions of Denali, El Dorado, and Azacca hops. This provides a tropical bouquet of flavors and aroma without adding any bitterness. Dubbed a “Shore Ale,” a pinch of salt puts the finishing touches on this crushably flavorful beer.

When those big storm swells travel from open water towards our beaches, it can look like the horizon is moving. With that notion of power and beauty combining to produce such a moment in mind, we crafted Moving Horizon, a Belgian-style tripel. This beer boasts a complex assortment of aromas from a Belgian yeast strain that gives off notes of bubble gum, cloves, and banana. Those defined aromas mesh perfectly with a dry, bubbly mouthfeel and finish that hides the high alcohol content. Made to be sipped after a day well spent, Moving Horizon beckons.

A Quiver often refers to a surfer’s collection of boards, each one there to handle different types of waves and conditions. This IPA honors that spirit as a hazy “single malt, single hop” beer that will evolve over time. Quiver is crafted to showcase a different, unique hop each time. The 2nd batch of 2019 features Idaho Gem. This hop combines a candy like sweetness with hints of pineapple and citrus. Grab a glass and see what Quiver has in store for you this time around. Past Quiver hops include: Calypso, Denali, Belma, Comet, and Strata.

We found a way to take this famous fruit from the tropical isles and make a beer that’s very much suited to the barrier islands. This robust porter keeps things simple with a smooth mouthfeel that pops with chocolatey goodness. The star of the show is a good ol’ dose of toasted coconut that gives this beer a sweet and unforgettable finish. This is one dark beer that you may find yourself reaching for all year long.

This is brew is for the committed. If you’re looking to tuck in a frosty barrel, then this is the IPA for you. A delightfully dark amber hue comes from caramel and rye malts that rarely find their way into an IPA. You also get what you’d expect—a heavy dose of some bitter hops that cover up your taste buds like a proper spitting Jersey barrel. The combination of these two extremes concludes with a ride full of malty sweetness and a spicy, woody bitterness, each battling for supremacy. Grab on and hold tight, it’s time to get Shacked.

Simple and subtle, this ale takes its cues from that magical time when the warmth of the summer sun just begins to fade. A malty backbone gives this beer its defining character while some flavorful hop additions give it just enough balance. This beer is made for get togethers and classic stories shared with friends.

Fall is when we reap the rewards of a busy summer season with beautiful days, great waves, and a little time to relax. It’s a time to recharge our batteries and harvest some stoke for the long months ahead. Our Oktoberfest adheres to the traditional Marzen style with a simple grain bill and hop schedule, which produces a radiant copper hue and flavors of toasted bread crust. A month of lagering gives this brew the time it needs to round out into a complex, yet crisp beer worthy of a good fire, a good flannel, and good company. Here’s to the Stoke Harvest.

Sometimes, the difference between good waves and great waves is a tide switch. All of a sudden the tide fills in and it’s on. Fall feels like that here at the shore, where warm days on the beach give way to crisp evenings. Our Tide Switch Cream Ale also blends the simple pleasures of a cream ale with a bounty of fall flavors that burst forth from the addition of pureed pears and chai spices. At times, it feels like a cider, at times it tastes like a beer, but it always goes down smooth. Embrace the change of season with the Tide Switch Chai Pear Cream Ale.
