Over the last ten years, there has been a 58 percent increase in the number of Craft Breweries in the United States. In 2024, the US Craft Beer Market saw a Gross Profit of $107.28 Billion.

There are thousands of Craft Breweries in the United States and over 100 located in New Jersey, giving Craft Beer Enthusiasts plenty of options.

But how do you choose which locally owned breweries to drink from? It would take a long time to visit and sample every brew at every NJ Craft Brewery.

The go-to for many Craft Beer Enthusiasts is the UnTappd App. With over 11 million users who submit reviews of craft beers, there is a massive database with numerous reviews from users sharing what they like or dislike about different beers and breweries.
