Want to help me NOT drink myself to death?

I need help keeping track of all the drafts in Jersey City. While I would love to go bar hopping every night, I don’t want to die.

Let me know if you want to drink some beers for me. Email me at whatsondraftjc – at – gmail.com.

So what’s the deal with your system, What’s on draft, Jersey City?

This blog specializes in craft beer, seasonal beer, New Jersey beer, and beers you don’t see every day. So I’m not going to to do a review and pairing for Bud or Blue Moon. Don’t get upset, it doesn’t mean that your favorite beer at the local dive isn’t good enough, it just means that I think enough people have tasted it that I don’t have to explain it to them.

I put in asterisks for beer that are must-tastes. The more asterisks, the more I think you should taste it at the establishment, either because I think it’s exceptional, or because it’ll be gone soon, for whatever reason (off season, out of demand, whatever).

I appreciate any and all criticisms and complaints that you have. Just remember: this blog is mainly for American craft beer in Jersey City bars, especially New Jersey beers. In my humble opinion, America is making the best beer in the world right now, and we should support our local brewers and merchants.

And always tip the bartender.

Thanks,
Melissa

Welcome to Jersey City’s Beerscape

My name is Melissa Surach and I love beer. Sometimes Jersey City too–the beer helps.

I started What’s on Draft, Jersey City? to help you drink better when you’re in town. It’s an up-to-date listing of craft, specialty and seasonal beers on draft and where to drink it. Sometimes I’ll list bottles too, sometimes I’ll tell you about food to pair it with. Mostly I’ll talk about American craft beer, especially from New Jersey. Can you smell my pride?

Also, there’ll be a beer event calendar.

Let me know if you hear of any beer, bars or beer events you want me to list.

Thanks for reading and drinking,
Melissa
