Merchantville Breweries & Craft Drinks | NJDrinks

Skip to main content

Merchantville, in Camden County, is a small borough tucked between Camden and Cherry Hill, roughly 8 miles east of Philadelphia. Its compact, walkable downtown and historic residential streets give it a distinct identity within an otherwise heavily suburban landscape of southern Camden County.

The craft beverage scene in and around Merchantville reflects the broader South Jersey suburban market — venues here are close to the Camden County population centers and within easy reach of the Ben Franklin Bridge corridor. For visitors coming from Philadelphia or from the Burlington County suburbs to the north, Merchantville sits in a convenient position within the South Jersey craft beverage cluster that runs through Camden County. Breweries dominate the craft production landscape in this part of the county, though the proximity to Philadelphia-area beer culture means demand is consistent and the range of taproom options within a short drive is reasonable.
