True State Craft

Want to sample some of New Jersey’s best in craft-brewed beer? Then the 11th Annual Garden State Craft Beer Festival is your ticket. The rain-or-shine event (plenty of tent space to sip undeterred by the elements, should showers come) is where beer fans can enjoy IPAs, altbiers, Belgian ales, American lagers and ESBs — all brewed fresh in the Garden State. If you’re a naval history buff, then the festival location — the USS New Jersey — is a bonus. Take a self-guided tour on the nation’s most decorated battleship and enjoy great beer in the shadow of the Philadelphia skyline. Head over to www.njbeer.org for more details.
