Keyport, in Monmouth County, is a small waterfront borough on the Raritan Bay, part of the Bayshore stretch of northern Monmouth County. The borough has a compact downtown along its main commercial street and sits roughly 10 miles north of Red Bank on Route 36. Keyport draws visitors from across the Bayshore region looking for a walkable waterfront destination, and craft beverage venues here fit naturally into that context.

The town is adjacent to Union Beach to the north and Hazlet to the south and west, and taproom visitors often pair a stop here with nearby venues in the broader Bayshore corridor. The Bayshore craft beverage scene has been growing steadily as small producers open in waterfront and near-waterfront locations across northern Monmouth County. Keyport’s historic downtown character and proximity to the water make it one of the more appealing stops in this part of the county for visitors combining craft beverage exploration with a waterfront outing, and the town’s size allows for easy movement between venues on foot during a visit.
