Atlantic County’s craft beer scene keeps growing.

Two new breweries are currently in the works and could become major additions to the South Jersey brewery community:

Bay Ave Brewery — Somers Point, NJ

Royal Bine Brewing Co — Absecon, NJ

Between Atlantic City, Hammonton, Somers Point, Galloway, Egg Harbor Township, and now Absecon, Atlantic County is slowly building a seriously underrated craft beer trail.

What kind of brewery do you hope these become?

Atlantic County quietly has one of the most underrated craft beer scenes in South Jersey. From hidden local taprooms to brewery projects focused on small-batch experimental beers, there’s a surprisingly strong variety spread across the county.

Here’s a list of breweries currently operating in Atlantic County, NJ:

Buena • The Buena Connection Brewing Company

Galloway • Garden State Beer Company

Egg Harbor Township • Hidden Sands Brewery Company

Somers Point • Somers Point Brewing Company

Hammonton • Snouts and Stouts Brewing • Three 3’s Brewing Company

Atlantic City • The Seed: A Living Beer Project

Which has the best atmosphere? • Best IPAs? • Best lagers/stouts/sours? • Most underrated spot? • Best food pairing or nearby restaurants? • Any hidden gems people should know about?
