Finger Lakes, NY. Great wineries, fun downtowns, plenty of hiking. If you bring kids, the children's museum in Ithaca is fantastic.

Jesus, that's so sad. I'm guessing this includes beer festivals, which is most of my exposure to new/different breweries. It's not like bars are at festivals promoting their beer lol.
Personally I'm not a frequent drinker, but I do find the atmosphere of breweries to be much better than a bar, seems much more personal and intimate. A shame that the guys on top would rather stop emerging businesses vs adapting themselves.

The context in which it shall not be infringed matters.

Should be limited by the date of purchase and only applied to relatively recent purchase of a liquor license.
Older holders already had the massive benefit of the limited supply.

Report it. Government and private applicators are required to notify beekeepers when spraying pesticides and herbicides within a 3 mile radius so that alone makes me say you should report it

There's loopholes around it. You can have both but I believe you can't show live events at breweries. Bar and restaurant owners want to maintain their customers so they limit the abilities of breweries with super nit picky laws. They're trying to pass another where you can only have ~60 events a year. This includes participating in events not only hosting. It's really a shame how greedy other small business owners are that they destroy an emerging market as opposed to find a mutually beneficial situation.
So call your legislature to tell them to support the Brewers guild of NJ and if you see an IPA called Brew Jersey from any NJ brewery buy it since the funds supports the guild.

It would’ve been funded majorly by NJ residents with a giant tax burden. Now it’s a federal project which makes sense since it serves multiple states. It was good for NJ Christie canceled arc. The other cuts he did to rail where the problem

Great, as if going out to dinner these days wasn't expensive enough. Goodbye BYOs....$12 per glass of wine it is then.

>Well, they can technically have two, under a certain size screen.
Yeah looked it up...under 65" lol. That's such a silly thing to even restrict size.
>Also no other beverages. Coffee or sprite is strictly illegal.
Nothing like shooting down alternatives for breweries to promote and better include designated drivers for safer roads, which when I last checked are the densest (or at least near the top) in the country.
I guess the real solution is to eliminate the liquor license quantity rules.
I never knew all these extra rules you listed, and admittedly I haven't been to a whole lot of breweries here, but now that I think about it they are very "bare" and the no food/alternative drinks/limited entertainment BS explains it.

Well, they can technically have two, under a certain size screen.
And all music has to be under a certain decibel level, or it's considered an "event", which is restricted to a certain number per year.
Also no other beverages. Coffee or sprite is strictly illegal.
Fun stuff.
It's the restaurant lobby, sponsored mostly by large chain restaurants, that have gotten us here. They say that it's so unfair that breweries don't have to bid to get a liquor license from their town. Those poor poor Applebee's being pushed out of the way by the entitled, uppity craft breweries.
From the article -
"holders of manufacturing licenses, brewers were “given privileges they weren’t entitled to: selling beer by the glass and hosting special events.”
If breweries want to be unshackled, “get the right license,” Weiss instructed,"

Wouldn't be the Garden State without the bees. Welcome to NJ.
There are limits in place yes. Hes likely over them by his own description. Its up to you if you want to be that neighbor who calls. What do you think will happen to the bees if hes over the limit?
Also, fertilizer/pesticides are nothing new, most don't effect honey bees. If the bees are poisoned its likely they will die before impacting the honey in volume that would pose a risk. Any honey or produce for that matter has the same potential issues. Do you know where the honey comes from when you buy it off the shelf? He wouldn't be able to legally sell the honey without a cottage food permit.

I'll never forget this. I was so annoyed when he cancelled the project but still had the budget to take a helicopter all around the state for personal events and shut down LBI so he could chill there with his family. Can't stand selfish politicians.

Philly has a ton of things to see and do. It’s also a great city for eating and drinking. The birth of our nation happened there. Lots of museums, Reading Terminal Market has amazing food. My personal picks to stay are The Bellevue Hotel on Broad and Locust, and The Four Seasons. The Bellevue is gorgeous and the location is great. Philly is a walking city, but there’s a blue shuttle bus that is cheap and it drops you off and picks up at many tourist places.
