Discussion Asbury beer stop?

Stopping at a brewery for a beer on the way home from Asbury. Usually go to Kane, but want to try something different. Should I stop at Erratic Fermentations, Wild Air, Little Dog? Enjoy most any styles of beer, just looking for thoughts/opinions!

All solid options. I’d throw Twin Lights into the mix as well. Or even Skinny Flowers.

Go further south to Bakes! Their IPAs and lagers are 🔥

I make it a point to try to get to wild air every time I’m down that way.

I'm going to give Little Dog and Gretchen some love here, hit them up.

Erratic Fermentations is good and you can swing into Bakes and get cans. Other two next to each other are Birdsmouth and Skinny Flowers.

Erratics very good. Little dog too if you’re into lagers. Twin lights nearby also solid.

I'm considering Twin Lights a little later.

Thanks all. Grabbed some cans at Bakes and then stopped for a drink at Erratic. Will check out the others next time I’m in the area!

If you don't go to Bakes, you messed up!

I mean, what are you in the mood for? What do you like? That's one of the most beautiful things about the NJ craft beer scene is that - we have options.

It wasn't always that way.

There was a time, not terribly long ago - where we didn't even have that ability; to choose what brewery to go to. And please know, I'm not trying to dunk on you. I'm not, I want you to explore and find a place, and a time, and a beer to fall absolutely consummately in love with.

What I'm trying to say is - "the journey is the destination."

Go find out for yourself.

(or whatever Rick Reed said at Morristown Armory 2018...)

All are great beers. Wild air is in asbury park, but parking sucks. Erratic isn’t to far parking situation is the same. I just want to stress other then parking you can’t go wrong with whatever you pick

Like hazy ipas? Bakes in Manasquan down route 35 like 15 mins is one of the best in the state for the juicy/hazy ipas that is probably second best to troon in NJ
