As a New Jersey resident, beer lover, and novice craft brewer, I certainly appreciate the microbrewery expansion throughout the state. Currently, New Jersey has approximately 150 microbreweries. Many of these microbreweries create excellent craft beers and have become very popular with local residents despite the strict time and manner restrictions on operations. Fortunately, the New Jersey legislature realized in 2012 that the liberalization of alcohol licensing laws to allow for this microbrewery expansion was a good idea, as the craft beer expansion has swept the nation over the past decade.

Good Thursday morning!
Nobody would ve expected the 70+ percent approval rating Gov. Phil Murphy enjoyed in the early days of the pandemic to last this far into the crisis. So he’s got to be pretty happy with a Monmouth University poll the gold standard of New Jersey polling pegging his approval rating with state residents at 57 percent while 35 percent disapprove.
As a state senator, Brian Stack voted to legalize recreational marijuana sales. As Union City mayor, he could vote to ban them.

In February, state Sen. Brian Stack cast a historic vote in favor of legalizing marijuana.
The North Hudson senator voted “yes” to the New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory, Enforcement Assistance, and Marketplace Modernization Act, which legalized adult-use recreational marijuana and set up a framework for recreational marijuana sales.
But in Union City, where he is mayor, Stack voted last month in favor of introducing an ordinance that would ban recreational cannabis sales within city limits.
