non alcoholic beer

[FLATHEAD]

The list of bad beers that have a lot of advertising to get you to drink the swill is long

My favorite beer is a local micro that's in a garage

How true that is. Guy over in town has a tiny store front brewery. Brews a nice beer.

SIL started brewing in a garage as well.
Has since converted a warehouse into a brewery with food and entertainment.
Brews and cans ten different beers on site. Keeps a number of flavors on tap to custom mix seltzers at the bar

I always forget it is only NJ that prohibits breweries from serving food at the same location and that it's actually not normal.

I bought some HolyGrail Ale once because of the name. It was some nasty stuff. I couldn’t even drink it.

Most of the issue with a lot of import beers in the US is the age of the beer - you are tasting staling flavors and oxidation. The shelf life put on most of those beers is a year plus and they will all taste like chit.

Didn’t know that. So you can’t pump your own gas or eat at a bar in NJ…lol

Pa has a two tier liquor license requirement. A bar can get a limited license for only hundreds of dollars that allows them to serve only Pa produced alcohol. A full license allows liquor from anywhere and cost tens of thousands.
A lot of the Pa made stuff sucks! You need to know what to ask for.,boardroom spirits is one of the better manufactures for certain alcohol.

No no. Bar, yes. Brewery no. What the difference is I couldn't actually tell you. Actually I can. Its to protect the bar lobby because that type of liquor license is much more difficult to obtain.

But you can have a brewery that is open to the public, open a resturant that only sells your alcohol, sell food and brew and be legal as long as you have the other license. Just can't do it at the brewery.

And if you think that's crazy, try dealing with the department of environmental protection. Also... I pump my own gas.

So the "no pump" law isn't real or you just ignore them?

Got to admit, never got gas in NJ other than on the turnpike
