Brewers have taken to social media to express their outrage about restrictions placed on them through a special ruling.

A new set of regulations on craft breweries set by the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control went into effect on July 1. The rules limit the amount of special events that can be held, and what brewers can sell on-site. Several brewers, including Death of the Fox Brewing Co. in Gloucester County, have come out in opposition to the rules, urging patrons to contact their representatives.

Microbreweries are allowed to hold 25 on-site activities, like trivia and music nights, annually, as well as 52 private parties.

Legislation was signed expanding outdoor dining opportunities for breweries, distilleries, restaurants, and bars in New Jersey during the ongoing pandemic. S3340 allows restaurants, bars, distilleries, and breweries to operate outdoor spaces or public sidewalks as extensions of their premises.
