Cape May Brewing Company to Release 5 New Beers in May

Cape May, NJ — Cape May Brewing Company has been keeping a hectic schedule over the past five months. Through the end of May, the third-largest beer producer in the state of New Jersey will have released a new brew each week for the past 21 weeks.

“It’s a frenzied pace,” says President and CEO Ryan Krill, “but that’s what makes beer fun.”

Such a pace certainly keeps the guys in the brewhouse hopping. “It keeps the brewers on their toes,” says co-owner Chris Henke. “Scheduling can be tough.” It’s not just scheduling the brew calendar, but also the ingredients that make things difficult. For example, where some brewers may use the same yeast strain for several beers, “for our recent Biscuits and Honey ESB, for instance, we used four different yeast strains and four different grains to get the style just right.”
