Little Egg Harbor Township, in Ocean County, sits on the mainland across from the northern end of Long Beach Island, fronting the shallow waters of Little Egg Harbor Bay. The township includes the community of Tuckerton, which serves as a small commercial center for the area, and encompasses a mix of waterfront neighborhoods and inland residential development. Craft beverage venues here draw from both the year-round resident population of inland Ocean County and the seasonal influx of visitors who use the mainland as a base for accessing Long Beach Island.

The Ocean County craft scene has expanded in recent years, with taprooms and tasting rooms opening across both the Shore-adjacent communities and the more rural interior of the county. Little Egg Harbor Township occupies a transitional position between the denser Shore development to the north and the Pine Barrens edge to the west. Visitors combining a trip to LBI with a craft beverage stop will find mainland options accessible along the Route 9 corridor, and the bay-side setting gives the area a distinct character from the more commercial parts of Ocean County further north.
