Slack Tide Brewing is good regardless what the tide is doing. When I looked for local breweries while visiting our New Jersey friend this place popped up and the beer selection got our attention. The service was friendly and prompt. We loved the decor of which more than the beer will follow me home. Stout flight consisted of Monkey Face w/ Coconur, Monkey Face, Mantees Milk and Datk Stout. My spouse had an Exit 13. Round two had me having a larger Monkey Face Stout and Flounder Pounder for my spouse. There was a food truck outside D's all items were looking tasty. They had two tv and plenty of indoor seating plus outside which with it being 34 degrees we were inside. Santa may only come once a year but we will be back. read more

Beer is good. To me, it's hit or miss. I enjoyed the sour a lot. Great ambiance! Love the wood table tops and outdoor space. Plus, the beertenders (servers) are great! read more

My girlfriend and I have been to almost every brewery in South Jersey, and this is one of our favorites, if that says anything. We don't live close by but always make the pilgrimage when we're down the shore. Off the beaten path, a little inland from the coast. Ample parking. Three seating spaces: a small tasting room, a few high tops in the brewing space, and a partially shaded outdoor space. Only one bathroom although there are a few port potties out back. There is also a food truck out back. We've never ordered from it but it does look delicious. All of this is moot, though, because very soon they are moving to a brand new building that will be triple the size of their current space. I'm looking forward to checking out the new space when it opens. But the beer is the most important part of any review, and I can honestly say I love the beer here. Hopefully you're an IPA fan. We stopped in on Memorial Day Weekend and I counted 10 IPA's on tap (black, session, hazy, American, New England... you name it, they ran the gamut). What they lack in variety of beer genres they make up for in bold and nuanced flavor. Every beer we tried was excellent. They have a well stocked cooler with beer cans to go, including more beers not on tap. They also have special edition bottled beers available too, such as a 13% barley wine if you really want to get wild. Overall, sensational beer, friendly and welcoming employees. Put this one at the top of your list of NJ breweries to visit. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Great beer and bartenders. My only wish is they had more TVs around to watch a Phillies game. They only have one in the far back of the main room and it may cause people to go to other breweries in the area if they want to watch a game while enjoying their beers. A guy sitting next to me at the bar asked to change the 'menu tvs' to the baseball game because we already have paper menus in front of us. read more

Haven't been to Slack Tide since they first opened and holy cow! Their new tasting room is awesome. Spacious indoor seating with plenty of room at the bar and ample table selection. Love that you can either order at the bar or via your phone. Summers must be awesome here with their outdoor seating! Their seasonal cranberry Haywire Twist was awesome and my sister and I both loved the Dry Dock. Can't wait for my next visit. read more

Clean place, beer was decent - bartenders seemed a little miffed we asked for samples. Food truck was Awful (Saturday May 17), wings were under cooked, over priced and Super spicy. When I brought back the 4 of 6 I didn't eat and called them out for selling disgusting food: NO response, obviously Zero pride for their food. And the girl working the cash register was 12 years old - I asked her because she looked so young. I also mentioned to the head bartender my interaction and NO response from him either. Go instead to Cape May Brewery! read more

Nice place. The people there were nice. The beer was a bit boring, seemed to be alot of flavored beer drinks for the younger crowd. Worth a trip out there. read more

Very friendly staff! Great selection of beer and apparel! Souvenir glass wear, water bottles, growler alternatives, Tees, Long Sleeve, Sweatshirts. read more

Decent beer, locals only vibe. Off the beaten path tucked away off 83 in a shared business complex. After 12-15 visits and rumors of a bigger location, I must say, we're all really looking forward to that new location. The tasting room is very small, and the adjacent garage area and outside spaces are directly next to the dumpsters and portapottys. The smell and lack of breeze during the summer months is awful. The kamikaze flies will have you headed for the takeout fridge. This place needs a few industrial fans running to fend off the smell, bugs, and overall stagnant vibe read more

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! read more

I love their beer. Anytime I'm in the Cape May area, I make sure to stop in whether it's to enjoy beer there or grab what I can to bring home. If you're in the area, stop in. The beer is fantastic. read more

Made my first trip to the new Slack Tide the other day. I've been a fan of there since they first opened on Route 83. The inside area is lovely and very spacious. The outside area is also large of plenty of parking, but the seating area could use a little bit of beautification. It's great that there's a food chalk that pulled up shortly after opening to serve what others told me were delicious foods. My disappointment with the person who was working behind the counter. She was not pleasant distractible, and didn't know her beers at all. She was not a good representation of the quality and of the beers and the company. And there is no one else but us and one other couple there when we arrived. I understand it that day there were problems with the list of beers and information but there were no hardcopies to read besides the computerized version. My suggestion is to have more detailed descriptions of the beers available for first timers and long timers to review to decide what they would like to drink, and or buy when visiting. The beers were still great but I've had a much better ambience and treatment on all the other times I've been to Slack Tide. I'm sorry to write this but my companion felt sad with our experience. read more

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! read more

This brewery is a little hidden gem. I've been to quite a few breweries but this one is now one of my little favorites, here's why...upon arrival there isn't many spaces to park but all social distancing is in place and staff wear masks. I ordered two beers at an extremely reasonable price. A native New Yorker paying $5 for a delicious beer doesn't happen often, but this place made it happen. I got an Angry Osprey and a Schoolie, both were delish but the Schoolie was my favorite. The kid friendly outdoor seating was full of families and friends, inside seating was also available and comfortable. The staff was friendly and prompt. If you want to have a nice afternoon and a good beer, this is the spot for you. Cheers! read more

Overall pretty avg brewery. The beers were all good, but nothing stand out. I liked their glass deal, a flight for 10 including the glass, but they made me go up and refill the glass every time, which was a pain since the place was crazy crowded. They also only had 2 bartenders, and ran out of glasses, for the place being packed, I have no clue how this happens, especially on a labor day weekend, they should have been more prepared. Service was painfully slow, and like I said before they ran out of flight and regular glasses, they then began pouring in plastic. A real estate agent did come in with some free pizza in order to advertise which was cool, who doesn't like free pizza. read more

OMG you have to go here. Beautiful place. Good drinks. Good people. Excellent customer service 10/10

Amazing beer selection ! And great taste too. Paul was the bartender Here today , he is here is every Sunday, Thursday's and every other Saturday . They have an amazing g imperial breakfast stout called morning bite . Wow ! Also many IPA's and an impressive black IPA . They won many awards as well . We will definitely be back ! read more

A really under appreciated spot down by Cape May. The IPA's are really good and priced well. They are building a new building so it should become a go-to spot in the near future. I enjoy Cape May Brewery but Slack Tide is as good without the tourist vibe. read more

Last weekend I visited Slack Tide as part of my whirlwind brewery tour on South Jersey. So far I have visited 22 of them, and on Yelp I have given every one either 4 or 5 stars. I just love breweries in general because of the friendly atmosphere, the fresh beer, the low cost, and how it's an alternate to a bar. Regrettably, Slack Tide will be the first one that I only give 3 stars. I considered giving them only a 2, but it still is an independently owned brewery, so that means something. It was confusing trying to get inside because there was no entrance sign posted, but there were many doors to chose from on the building. No one greeted me inside. I was surprised that there was no tour available despite me asking specifically for one, and that there was not even a self-guided tour with the help of a brochure. I came excited about Slack Tide, and I wanted to learn all about how those guys started the place. It is also a requirement as part of their license that they give some sort of tour, so I found their refusal to give me a tour very off-putting. Overall, I thought the crowd of people was a little snobby in general who frequent there and not welcoming like most other breweries are. The beers were fresh, but they were nothing special. I liked how they have a crowler machine because that is still relatively rare. But I ended up not buying a crowler because none of the beers wowed me anyway to bring home. In general, beers are nothing special, small brewery, but not friendly. read more

Stopped by because I had heard a jersey podcast and learned a little more about the area and the brewery. I had also heard about the large amount of breweries in the cape may area. I figured I'd check and see how their beers were since it sounded like they took a lot of care. The owners were informative and the beer was tasty. Ever bought a shirt and a 4 pack to go! Definitely worth another visit! read more

Average compared to other local brewery Staff friendly Not a lot of flavors I do like how you can bring your own food I know people enjoy the can beer but I think this place attracts a lot more locals than other guest.

If I could give Slack Tide 6 stars I would. Fantastic beers and a wonderful, very friendly volunteer bartender. We did the "slacker" tasting, a 4-beer flight that comes in a logo'd glass that you get to keep. The Sand Spike Session IPA was really, really good. They had 2-3 other IPAs on tap, but the session was our favorite after the tasting so we got a Crowler to go. If you are visiting breweries while vacationing down the shore you have to visit Slack Tide! My one regret is that I cannot remember the name of our bartender, who was incredibly friendly and personable. He made our experience that much more enjoyable because it was obvious he loved his volunteer job and really loved good beer! read more

Love this place. Great beer and a very friendly staff. Some nights they have a food truck. My wife and I have a place in Driftwood too which is really close so we always ride our bikes over. We've met some really nice people sitting out back. read more

Love this place. Love their beer. Slack Tide-Will you marry me? The locals know that this is where the good beer is. The parking lot gets full fast, so you may have to park on the street. (You can forgive their, tiny parking lot because they are land-locked.) I expect that we will see this brewery move or get a second location. Simply put-Slack Tide produces amazing beer at affordable prices. They are nice people and serve your beer in a glass, unless you take your beer into the side-beer garden. I'm officially a "Slacker" because they are my go-to brewery in South Jersey. Don't feel like hanging out in the taproom? They have a fridge full of most of what they brew and if it ain't in there, they will whip up a crowler for you of anything on tap. I shouldn't rave about this place because I am only putting people in front of me in line for a beer, but I just gotta share the love. Shout out to Paul. He knows his beer and his enthusiasm will truly make you appreciate the beer that is in your hand. (I have a crush on you and your beer, Paul.) Wish list- #1. World peace. #2 Morning Bite brewed year-round. read more

Fantastic environment for family, friends and pets. Great staff and great service. Beer is average compared to surrounding breweries. Still a fun and great brewery to visit and return! read more

Great selection of beers. Really enjoyed the Angry Osprey. Many IPA's to choose from, you make up your own flights which I like. Nice spot.

Beers are good but the tasting room is very small. Prices are fair, 8$ for a flight or 10$ for a flight and a pint glass. I personally like IPAs and they had four on tap today which was great for me. They have growlers and crowlers as well as a plethora of merchandise. All in all it's a nice little brewery and I will probably be back. read more

Very nice brewery. It's laid back, and has great people! Their IPAs are great and I'm not an IPA fan. However, I am a stout lover and I wasn't too fund of their milk stout! Will definitely want to go back every time I'm in town though. read more

home style feeling all around with great beer, fun vibe and awesome brand new location with outdoor food trucks and live music ! highly recommend!! read more

This place was great!! The only problem I have with it is that I have to drive there so you always have to have a DD either way these beers are DELICIOUS! And not to mention the staff are so friendly and inviting. Plus the other people drinking there were also so friendly! We met a guy from Cali who wants to open his own brewery in North Carolina and another local guy. Everyone was so friendly and inviting. I would go back just for that! And back to the beers, DELICIOUS! And they are somehow super smooth but pretty high alcohol content. So it's a win/win. They also mentioned there's some tour service you can higher to take you around to all the breweries and wineries around. I would absolutely recommend going!! read more
