LBI Brewing Company

LBI Brewing Company is Long Beach Island's resident craft brewery and pub, operating from a casual space on Centre Street in Beach Haven at the southern end of the barrier island. The brewery produces small-batch ales, lagers, and seasonal beers on-site, served fresh in a laid-back taproom that functions equally as a neighbourhood meeting point and a tourist-facing dining destination during the LBI summer season. The pub menu is straightforward and well-matched to the beer: Fish & Chips, built on fresh cod or equivalent local catch in a crispy batter alongside hand-cut fries, and the LBI Crab Dip with house-made bread draw the most consistent praise from regulars. The dog-friendly patio is a significant seasonal draw, and the outdoor space fills on summer afternoons when the beach crowd migrates inland. Seasonal beers reflect the island's character — beach-forward lager styles and fruit-infused ales appear in summer, giving way to maltier warming styles in the autumn weeks before the seasonal close. Walk-ins only; the brewery does not take reservations. Operating hours are daily in the warmer months, with weekday service suspended November through April. The Beach Haven location is on LBI's most restaurant-dense block, convenient to the island's small-town entertainment district.
