Southern Ocean Made Surf & Sip Brew Trail Ongoing Event – no fee for trail participation
This is not a crawl, this is an opportunity for enthusiasts 21 or older to experience our unique Jersey culture, get to meet local experts, try authentic products, and take part in the Long Beach Island Region like never before.
Begin by downloading the LOYALE app or by picking up a Surf & Sip Brew Tail map at any of the locations. At each stop, check in. The trail was created to be enjoyed throughout the year, it is not a timed activity and all completed entries have the same chance to win as long as they are submitted to the Southern Ocean County Chamber Visitor Center before Thanksgiving 2018.
In addition to the breweries that are located throughout our region, you will find other stops that reflect our surfing history and lifestyle. No purchase is necessary to enter or get validated.
We encourage you to check out locally designed and manufactured surf related products, as well as scheduling lessons or SUP tours for future visits.
Like good beer, this trail is meant to be enjoyed at your leisure. It is not a challenge, do not attempt to take part in any surf activity or drive under the influence of alcohol. Go to Southernoceanmade.com for full details
