Great local brewery. Staff is friendly and views are great. Great beers on tap and in bottles, highly recommend to check out if your in the area
Douglas Owens
Great place to chill, enjoy a great view and even better beer.
Joe Ciampoli
Wow! Been searching for an everyday IPA and your "Hop and Hazy" is it. Thanks? ps: "the Shack" is great too!
Dan Walter
Good mix of styles for a small brewpub on the island. Barnegat Lager is my go to but light ales and ipas are good as well.

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!
Douglas Smithman
The beers are very good and the second floor, open-window atmosphere is perfect for the beach. There is a nice deli downstairs so grab some food before you go up and order, otherwise your beer will get warm.

Wifey and I have always liked the beers and ciders put out out by Ship Bottom Brewery so we decided to finally stop in to try something in person. As with most breweries these days, the menu included an IPA, but also some other selections...though no stouts, porters or brown ales. Server was friendly and waited as we decided what we wanted. Wifey decided on a Pear Seltzer and I decided to try the Three Hour Tour (out of respect for the Gilligan's Island reference and because I generally like wheat beer). We were both really disappointed in our selections. Wifey's seltzer was so sweet it was like a melted Italian Ice and my wheat beer was also way too sweet. In full disclosure, had I read the description of this beer I never would have ordered it as I almost never like sweet, fruity beers and this one has hints of pineapple, orange, and coconut. Neither of us finished our beers. While really bummed we hated our selections, I'd still come back again next year since I know I like many of their other selections. This location in Beach Haven is the prefect spot to watch the sunset...just make sure you choose the right beer.

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.

Great place to visit. Good beer and service. Had the hard seltzer with watermelon infusion. It was delicious.
Used to be a lovely place to visit with the family. New sign barring children at 7pm. Drove a long way to visit only to be turned away. Unfortunately another in a long line of LBI establishments that were once family friendly and now cater to rich singles and couples. (Also they’ve never once given me a tour when I went which I’m pretty sure is a violation of state law.)

Amazing brewery! Just know you have to take a flight of stairs to get there.

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.
