    CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE/CLERMONT: Slack Tide Brewing Company has only been around for a few years and is already planning a brand-new 9,000 square feet brewery and tasting room. Congratulations to them and we will visit again in the summer to celebrate their expected grand opening. In the meantime, we enjoyed their original space that is dog and family friendly in a cute tasting room with beachy vibes. 17 beers on tap, a bunch of merchandise, and a lively crowd, make this a fun place to hang out.

    Stopped here this week after a day in Cape May, on our way home. Lots of parking and easy to find on the side of the building. The brewery was nice and clean (it actually smelled clean when we walked in). There were a handful of regulars when we got there. I got a beer (stout) and my boyfriend got a flight. My beer was very good. They offer a bar to sit at or a huge table which was actually really cool.

    We were excited to check out their new space since our last visit three years ago. Great indoor and outdoor space and great beers. Had the Belgian, which is my go-to and it tasted great. Hubby got a case of assorted beers. Friendly service! Cheers!

    Great craft brewery experience. I loved their stout called Monkeyface. Others liked their IPAs, lager, and sour. Cute little catch the ring game on table. We saw they bought another piece of land nearby for their future home. This first "home" is wonderful. Very nice servers and the other customers all so friendly. Cheers.

    Was down in Cape May area and biked along the Middle Township bike path and detoured from the path to the brewery as one of our first stop. Took advantage of the bike racks and were soon sipping on some cold beer in the air conditioning. Being a Tuesday afternoon, it was not to busy. Was at the old building ans the now location is perfect. Plenty of seating both indoors ans outdoors. There was a food truck that was not open during out visit but would have been perfect if it was. Can't fault anyone being I'm sure food Truck is opened based on business and I would have been closed as well. For my first beer, I had the Sand Spike (IPA - Session -4.7% ABV This highly crushable seasonal IPA is aggressively hopped with just 3 varieties throughout the boil, and dry hopped to finish. With a light malt backbone and big hop nose, it's the perfect summertime IPA) and my second beer was a favorite of mine Angry Osprey (IPA - West Coast - 6.8% ABV -This Slack Tide cult classic presents with a clarified copper-amber color. Dry hopped with Citra and Centennial - these hops provide a distinguished pine & citrus flavor to match right up to it's fresh yet spicy aroma. Medium bodied with a smooth texture leaving room for an outstanding lively carbonation) All in all, a great place to spot on lower cape may County if you are looking for craft beer!

    Some real serious brews they got going down over here. Decided to pay a visit after visiting a distillery. I was planning on visiting another brewery that I've been going to every time I'm down in these parts. I like trying out new places and even though they've been around for a few years, they are new to me. Great beer, great staff and the other customers were a pleasure to chat with. Plan on coming by again on my next visit since I really only tried 1-1/2 flight ( my wife's not a big beer fan so I ended up drinking her half). Took a couple of six packs to bring back north with me. Probably won't last me too long but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll expand their distribution area farther up from Lakewood. Keep the suds flowing!

    I always drive the "back way" to the shore to avoid tolls -- Routes 55, 47, 347, 47. Add about a mile left on one more, Route 83, and you'll arrive at Slack Tide. It's not too far from Sea Isle/Avalon, but also not out of the way if you're heading farther south to Wildwood/Cape May. Slack Tide is small but hefty. They have a nice operation going on and their brews are quality. Upon arrival, they'll ask you to do the self-guided "tour," per NJ state regulations. It just takes a minute, and I always use the opportunity to take photos of the brewery's innards. No biggy. My friend and I chose to have a flight standing at the bar. We spoke with the bartender and a local patron for a bit. No one was super friendly or distant. It was obviously just a place to enjoy a beer -- the end. We stayed long enough to get a feel for the place -- I had a flight while my friend tried a small sample and purchased some crowlers (growlers? both?) for her boyfriend. Yes, they have a crowler machine. Love that! I tried (with Untappd ratings): - Free Spool: 3.5 - Portly Mermaid: 4 - Avalon Amber: 3.75 - Prissy Wicks: 3.5 - Bell Buoy: 4 That's to say I enjoyed all the beers to a general "yay, I'm a fan" level, but there weren't any "woohoo!" moments. They were all standard and well-rounded but not too experimental. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely consider a return. I'd love to see them make a berliner, gose, or a light and fruity brew for summer!

    They had 2-3 other IPAs on tap, but the session was our favorite after the tasting so we got a Crowler to go.

I have never been a true BBQ lover but their pulled pork sandwich is off the hook! Everything is Ala cart so you can build the meal that sounds best to you. I will judge you on your sweet potato fries. Here they are also yummy. My husband prefers ribs or wings. There is something for all to enjoy. Finally, the entertainment at Ludlum is always amazing! They have great local musicians play with no extra fees or cover charge. In the summer the music is often outside or both inside and out! I definitely recommend trying this place. It took us two years to go!

We finished visiting the Cape May Zoo and wanted to find a chill place to eat with booze, food, and good times. Ludlam popped up and we made our way over. This place has a great vibe to it. You walk in and there is a large bar, plenty of tables, and a stage where musicians can jam. You can also head outside (which is what we did) to sit at picnic tables and enjoy the weather. We had our kiddos with us, and being outside was a perfect spot. They had a little sand pit area where all the kids were gathering, playing with one another. There are clearly marked off spots where you can order your booze and order food. There were SO many different types of beer to try so I ordered a flight. Every single beer I tried was absolutely delicious. From their fall beers to their shandys and sours, they were ALL amazing. I brought home their chocolate pumpkin beer and their pink lemonade shandy. I wish I brought more home with me to be honest. The food was really good as well. Lots of BBQ options with different sauces. I had a pulled pork sandwich which was delicious! My friends and I all shared some sides - from the sweet and sour carrots to the spicy shaved broccoli salad, everything was so good. Not a single crumb was left behind. My son had the mac and cheese and my daughter had the chicken tenders. Everyone was happy and left full. That's my idea of a great time!

They did a nice job of remodeling and making it their own. It's a really cool, small building with a small merch area, a small stage area for live music, a few outdoor seats out front, a small private parking area, and a small beer garden out back. One of the few breweries in NJ where the brewing tanks and various equipment are not prominently displayed. Most importantly, the beer is excellent. I was very impressed by the variety on offer and the quality. Some breweries will have an entire taplist made up of different IPA's and lagers that all taste similar, and a stout thrown in for good measure. At Obscura, no two beers were alike, and all very well made. The standout for me was The Earth is Breathing which was a very interesting mashup of a DIPA and a west coast IPA. Extremely unique flavor and unlike any beer I've had before (which is saying a lot considering how many breweries I've been to). We really enjoyed Obscura and will definitely come back next time we're near the shore!

My girlfriend and I came for the first time shortly after opening on a Friday afternoon in August. There were only a few other customers during our time there. The beer was pretty good. The two standouts for me were the Wah Wah Watch butterscotch ale, and the hard birch beer. I've seen plenty of NJ breweries that make their own root beer but never a hard version. They seem to be known for their seltzers and have quite a few on tap, many more than I've seen at other breweries. The staff were exceptionally friendly. One of them asked us if we could be his guinea pigs and let us try half a pint of some sort of strawberry concoction. Later when there were six of us sitting at the bar, he let us all try a full taster of their soon-to-be-released pumpkin beer, complete with a cinnamon sugar rim.
