The Beer Run

A 5K & Craft Beer Run

Sunday, October 13th, 2019
Allaire, New Jersey


Take a run or stroll through the 1700’s village of Allaire, New Jersey and celebrate crossing the finish line with a beer fest! Because running is always better with beer, right?

The Historic Village of Allaire used to be an iron-producing factory-town, home to Howell Iron Works, Co. The town consisted of a pattern-making shop, blacksmith, post office, general store, school, church, and the mills that were used to finish the iron products produced. It was a small, self-sufficient town which has now been transformed into an interactive museum.

The Beer Run is a 5K run or walk through the historic town of Allaire and beautiful natural trails nearby. When you cross the finish line you will be handed a tasting glass so you can reward yourself with some beer from 12+ local breweries. There will also be live music, lawn games, and food trucks! It’s a party for sure, and you’ve earned it.

Tickets for the Beer Run include race registration, beer, a tasting glass, and access to the live music, food trucks and lawn games. You can also purchase tickets strictly for the beer fest. Or, you can purchase tickets for the run and be the designated driver. REGISTER HERE and enjoy the Beer Run!

See you there!
Cheers,
Danyelle

Glassware for Beer

Serious beer drinkers around the world firmly believe that the beer glass that holds the beer is just as important as the beer inside the glass.  Others think that it’s a marketing gimmick.  But truth be told, different styles of beer glasses affect the color, foam, aroma, and the taste of the beer you’re drinking. 

One of the most important parts of a great beer pour is the head.  The head of a beer, or foam on top of the beer has a very important job.  The head makes sure that the fruity esters, hop oils, spices, and yeast fermentation byproducts all stay within the beer to provide you with the best beer drinking experience.  So, what beer glass do you choose for the beer you’re currently drinking?  Here’s a list of recommendations for the beer glass you should use for each style of beer.

Kegs & Legs

Surprise: I love beer! But despite my love for beer, one thing you may not know about me is that I’m very passionate about working out and helping others to reach their fitness goals. This being said, you can probably imagine how elated I was when I was able to merge both of my loves together at my latest visit to Cypress Brewing Company.

Summertime Sessions

If you consider yourself a Hop Snob like I do, you know that sometimes the summer sun can be a little too much for enjoying a heavy, hoppy beer.  That’s when I turn to Session IPAs.
