Despite COVID-19 restrictions, the folks at Gusto remain committed to making great beer for takeout. Their “Pop Shove It” is one of the best IPAs in the industry. Their ESBs are always fantastic. The people at Gusto are extremely friendly and committed to their craft and their customers!

This is a family friendly taproom, where you can bring the kiddos. They can't sell food, but you can certainly bring your own lunch or dinner. It's located on Rte. 9, in a strip mall, on the right, as you head out toward the ferry terminal. We tried the Pop-Shove It, and Slam Poet, both of which are IPAs. AFAIK, they don't do carry-out of cans, but you can order selections in 32 oz. growler pours.. Service is prompt, and courteous. The atmosphere is relaxed. They also have a turntable that actually plays vinyl, and the music selection while we were there was what we were listening to in college in the late '70s and early '80s. I highly recommend this place if you have an hour or two to spare, to relax, and have a brewski or two.

My husband and I stopped by and purchased a bottle of wine and enjoyed it with some cheese and cracker tray! The wine was amazing we had their Cabernet Sauvignon. I would definitely go back!

Spent three days at Congress Hall where one of the featured local breweries is C.M. Brewing Co. I was so impressed with the product that I purchased 2 cases of 'The Grove' to bring back to Ohio. Now I just have to ration it.......
5. Cold Spring Brewery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 82 reviews
In early 2014, the HCSV Foundation Board of Trustees voted unanimously to pursue the development of a small brewery on the Village grounds with the name Cold Spring Brewery. To this end, and in keeping with the mission of the Historic Cold Spring Village, an 1804 three bay English-style Cape May County barn from Upper Township was purchased. Stillwell and Elizabeth Corson, a familiar name in the County, built the classic building. Permission to restore and reconstruct the barn, board by board, and place it on Village property was received from both the Lower Township and County of Cape May Zoning Boards along with approvals to utilize the barn in connection with the proposed brewery. Although the barn/brewery is located outside the Village fencing, it remains part and parcel of the 30 acres that are located between Seashore Road and Route 9 in Cold Spring, containing 27 restored historic structures. Funding for the project was secured through HCSV Foundation's fundraising events, donations, memberships, retail sales, corporate sponsorship for programs and gate revenue. Its purpose is to stabilize the museum for future generations to enjoy.

My boyfriend and I absolutely love it here. I want to return once all this COVID is over. The food truck has amazing food. The only thing I didn’t care for was how long the line was for drinks. Bring your own beach chairs too if they run out of seating! Will be back :)
