Jersey at GABF

The lineup of participating breweries for the Great American Beer Festival (Sept. 24-26) is out.

Five Jersey brewpubs and one production brewery, namely 2008 silver medalist Flying Fish of Cherry Hill, are on the list for Denver.

Hometown Beverages, which contracts with the Lion in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., to make its tri-state-named flight of lighter lagers, is also going.

The brewpubs are: Original Basil T’s from Red Bank; Gaslight in South Orange; Long Valley from scenic Long Valley in Morris County; and Triumph in Princeton (as well as New Hope, Pa., and Philadelphia). Iron Hill is also in there but listed as coming from Delaware.

Here's a heads-up: The Saturday afternoon session (Sept. 26th) has just about closed the books on available tickets.
