Maple Shade, in Burlington County, is a suburban township positioned along Route 73 in the Philadelphia-adjacent corridor of South Jersey, roughly 10 miles east of the Ben Franklin Bridge and adjacent to Cherry Hill to the south and Moorestown to the east. The area is heavily commercial along its main corridors, with residential neighborhoods filling in behind, and it sits within the densely developed stretch of South Jersey that connects the Delaware River crossings to the Shore.

Craft beverage venues here draw from both the township’s own population and the broader Cherry Hill, Mount Laurel, and Marlton catchment that constitutes one of the larger suburban populations in South Jersey. The proximity to Philadelphia means that producers in this area compete and cooperate with the substantial Philadelphia craft beverage scene across the river. For visitors coming into South Jersey from the Philly area or traveling south along Route 73, Maple Shade offers accessible craft options without a detour into more rural parts of Burlington County, and the township’s commercial corridors keep venues visible to passing traffic.
