Howdy all!  It's been a few weeks since I've sent out an update on new NJ beers coming to the market.  This week, we also have meads!  Check em all out, and enjoy! First, we have two meads from newly opened Melovino Meadery in Vauxhall, NJ.  Melo Evil is a sweet honey wine with ghost peppers added, and it comes in at 12% ABV.  Pirum Lust is a 13% ABV honey wine that is made with spiced pear juice, and is meant to be consumed during the cooler months. From Cherry Hill, we see the label for Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing's Funnel Cake Boardwalk Ale.

Canis Minor, a Brewers' Select beer from Weyerbacher, was released on draft throughout Weyerbacher's distribution footprint around a month ago (early September).  It is also available in 12 oz. bottles in Weyerbacher's visitor center while supplies last!

There were definitely some interesting label approvals for NJ beers this week --- First, we have two 12 oz. bottle approvals from Cape May Brewing Company (Rio Grande).  Mop Water, which is an ale brewed with spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, whole-bean vanilla), and Coastal Evacuation, a double IPA brewed with Centennial hops.   Next we have a keg label from just opened Forgotten Boardwalk Brewing (Cherry Hill) for a smoked porter they are calling Morro Castle.  Sounds tasty to me. Last, but not least, we have a keg label from soon to be opening Spellbound Brewing (Mt. Holly). The label is for their porter.
