Hey there, beer enthusiasts and Sea Isle City local adventurers! If you haven't heard the buzz yet, let me fill you in – there's a new kid on the block in Cape May County, and they're bringing a whole lot of flavor to the table. That's right, I'm talking about Slack Tide Brewing Co., and they've recently unveiled (last summer) their brand-spankin'-new digs at 1879 Route 9.
But first, let's rewind a bit and delve into the backstory of this beloved local brewery. Founded by brothers Jason and Tadhg Campbell back in December 2016, Slack Tide Brewing Company has been making waves in the New Jersey craft beer scene ever since. Named after that fleeting moment of tranquility experienced during a tidal shift, Slack Tide embodies the essence of relaxation and enjoyment – and that's exactly what they aim to deliver with each and every sip.
Now, let's fast forward to the present day. With their original location on Rt. 83 bursting at the seams with eager patrons, the Campbells knew it was time to spread their wings and soar to new heights. And so, they've set up shop in Ocean View (just down Rt 9 from Cape May Wicker), unveiling a sprawling 8,000 sq. ft. space that's sure to delight beer lovers far and wide.
Picture this: a whopping 6,000 sq. ft. dedicated solely to beer production, ensuring that Slack Tide's beloved brews continue to flow freely. But that's not all – the new venue also boasts a spacious 2,000 sq. ft. tasting room, where visitors can sample a tempting array of flagship and seasonal brews, all while munching on tasty snacks to keep those hunger pangs at bay.
And let's not forget about the great outdoors! With 4,500 sq. ft. of outdoor seating, complete with cozy firepits for those chilly evenings, Slack Tide's new location is the perfect spot to kick back, relax, and soak in the laid-back atmosphere.
But wait, there's more! In addition to serving up top-notch brews, Slack Tide is also making a difference in the community. Case in point: their recent collaboration with local breweries and Habitat for Humanity on an upcoming beer release, with a portion of the proceeds going towards building a new home right here in Cape May County. Now that's what I call raising a glass for a good cause!
And speaking of beer releases, get ready to tantalize your taste buds with a lineup of exciting new brews, including the award-winning Knockdown Black IPA and the upcoming Smash IPA Single Malt, Single Hop brew. Plus, keep an eye out for holiday favorites like Manatee Milk and Haywire Twist – because 'tis the season to indulge, am I right?
But the fun doesn't stop there! From unique events and offerings to a full tasting menu featuring favorites like Schoolie Pale Ale and Angry Osprey IPA, there's always something happening at Slack Tide Brewing Co.
