New Egypt Breweries & Craft Drinks

New Egypt, in Ocean County, is a small rural community within Plumsted Township at the northern edge of Ocean County where the Pine Barrens begin in earnest. The landscape is flat, heavily wooded in stretches, and agricultural in others — New Egypt sits in cranberry bog country, and the surrounding area has a distinctly rural South Jersey character despite Ocean County’s overall reputation as a Shore destination.

Craft beverage venues here are sparse and serve a local market that is geographically separated from the denser brewery clusters around Toms River or the Monmouth County Shore. Visitors exploring the Pine Barrens interior or driving between Burlington County and the Ocean County Shore pass through this area. The surrounding Plumsted and Upper Freehold stretch of central New Jersey is quiet by character, and craft producers here tend to be small-scale operations that reflect the rural nature of the territory.
