    Beer and menu

    Great beers and nice and empty on a Friday at 3pm in January. Lol. The Local Stout W/peanut butter was delicious. 10 beers on tap with a mix of IPA, stout, lager, kolsch and a hard seltzer.

    Great place for a hangout in LBI! Laid back, chill atmosphere and the perfect spot to cool off with a cold one during the summer. I went twice during my last LBI visit since it's convenient and a nice place to relax after a busy day at Fantasy Island :) beers were great and ice cold. They have a nice variety and some cool merch too. Next time I want to try a flight to sample a few different things. You can also bring your own food and pets are welcome!

    BEACH HAVEN/LBI: we are so happy that Ship Bottom Brewery now allows friendly, leashed dogs inside their tasting room! A nice selection of craft beer and they have a wheat option (Brie's Mom's favorite type of beer! They are hard to find nowadays)! Bring your own food! Views of the bay! Ice cold slushies available to go along with cans and merchandise. Live music events! Part of Bay Village, a fun outdoor shopping experience!

    Great spot to hang out! You can bring in your own food (great sandwich shop downstairs) and they are dog friendly. Laidback atmosphere with TVs playing sports. Lots of beers to choose from (10+) plus a seltzer and frozen slushie. Can purchase 4packs to go if you find a drink you like!

    I stopped by here earlier today by myself. My family and I had been to the Taylor Avenue Waterfront a couple of days earlier and I had noticed Ship Bottom Brewery. So whenever we were there later in the week, I was able to stop by. The brewery itself is located on the second floor and consists of a couple of different places to place your order and then a bunch of seating. It's also being your own food and I saw a couple of tables with pizza and fries from somewhere else. You can also do a self paced tour but I didn't want to take too long and so I did not go. As I often do whenever I go to a new brewery, I ordered a flight here. At ship bottom you can choose either a 4 beer sampler or an 8 beer. Since I didn't want to get drunk, I chose the 4 beer. For my beers I chose the mermaid strawberry blonde, the hop and hazy, the shack IPA and the do not pass gose ale. My first beer was the Mermaid strawberry blonde which was light and crisp with a hint of strawberry at the finish. I imagine that it would be a great beach beer. Up second was the hop and hazy and you could really get the hops on the nose. It ended up being tasty with a nice and big juiciness to finish it off. My third beer was The Shack IPA which was smooth up front and had a light hop taste on the finish. Maybe it was the hazy IPA before it blocking some of the hoppiness on my palate but it was a lot less hoppy than expected. Last but certainly not least was the do not pass gose ale. It had a nice and flavorful start with a bit of sourness before finishing with that dryness that gose are known for. Out of the bunch, the hop and hazy was easily my favorite of the bunch although I was a big fan of the gose too. The bottom for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I really enjoyed the hop and hazy and liked that it was bring your own food too.

    Stopped in for a few beers for my husband and a seltzer for me. The watermelon seltzer was sweeter than others (which I liked) but had a strange smell, although the flavor was good. My husband had Three Hour Tour and another wheat beer, we both likes both of them. The place is super casual and beachy (love!) and they had a singer/guitar player for the afternoon. There is a brief self walking tour (actually more like observation spots) of the actual brewery area. Their beer is known locally (here in PA) as well as Jersey and is available at many places which are listed on their website. Their brewery is a fun place and we will definitely go back the next time we go down to LBI.

    This brewery is located in the heart of LBI. As far as I know, it's the only microbrewery on the island. Since we were not allowed to go inside the brewery, there were tents located in the courtyard across the way where appropriate seating and portable heaters were placed. Staff very friendly, while a guitarist serenaded us while imbibing our brews. The beers were excellent and nicely priced.

    There's a large parking lot behind the Brewery and an outside sitting area for the Beer Garden. There wasn't any clear signs but you can only get flights inside up the stairs. They don't sell food here but with it being the beach, there are plenty of restaurants to order from to bring here. I believe dogs are allowed in the outside beer garden area. We opted for the upstairs to get a flight and you do get some nice views if the water and the beer garden. They didn't have the AC running but had fans on for a semi hot day. They do have a bathroom upstairs that is gender neutral and outside has some Porta pottys as well. To the right of where you order, you can get a clipboard to pick your own flight before you order. You can order flight of 4 or 8. We opted for the 4: Beach Patrol Hefeweizen - this is a great Hefeweizen and very flavorful. This is probably my #1 pick. I really enjoyed this beer and it definitely incorporates all the flavors in the description which is generally pretty difficult to do so. This is my #2 pick Mexican Stout - Strong coffee smell but the taste is amazing. You definitely get that hint of the spice from the peppers Imperial Pumpkin Ale - You get more of a pumpkin smell than you do the taste. I wasn't too much of a fan of this but it was still good. This is my last pick out of the 4. Mary Lee Please Don't Eat Me - Farmhouse Ale Saison - much lighter than the Hefeweizen and a soft hoppy taste but still good. This is my #3 pick. The merchandise here is really cute but it is very pricey. There is a small self guided Brewery tour you can take which goes over the Brewing process and the do have free wifi.

    LBI Lager

    If you consider Long Beach Island a gem among the Jersey Shore beaches, surely Ship Bottom Brewery is a gem within LBI! Always love coming here with my dog (dog friendly for very well behaved goodbois/goodgirls). It's byo food and great beer and seltzers often with great live music. The beer skews lighter like pilsners and lagers - exactly what you're looking for at the beach - but even the heavier stuff and IPA's are solid. Actually really good beer! And the staff working there are really amazing - one of my favorite places on the Island and a guarantee stop every time I'm in town.

    Blood Orange Seltzer

    Such a great place to hang out and have a drink! I am not much of a beer drinker so I was thrilled to see they have a small selection of house craft seltzers, along with their expansive beer menus Wednesday night trivia is so much fun. The winner of each round got a $10 gift card.

    A big fan of this place. Came on a rainy day and were not disappointed. Lots of games to play, cute atmosphere, bay views, and delicious brews to be had. We did a sample platter or all 8 of their beers. My favorite was the key lime pie which was very refreshing and the stout which tasted creamy and delicious. They also had a lot of families with kids and dogs which was great. We felt very welcome here and the crowd was great. The only thing missing was food but many people ordered from the place downstairs or brought their own!

    Updating my review to include the newest beers on tap, which include my favorites, porters and double IPAs. Seating has been updated since I was last here. Benches and long tables face the bay, with smaller, tall tables in the middle. It really opens up the tap room more. Beer was good. I will be back on my next trip to LBI.

My girlfriend and I visited on a Saturday afternoon in May. The guy working asked us if it was our first time, and welcomed us heartily when we said yes, which I think is a nice touch. He then asked us what our favorite types of beers are so as to make some suggestions from their extensive list. We each got a flight and then a full pour, and loved everything we tried.
