My LLS (Local Liquor Store) in Flemington carries Tonewood all the time now. Recent development. A good addition to the drink local selections.

Don't think so. Maybe thinking Dogfish and Sam Adams merger in '19?

It was def Cape May, maybe just a rumor around them. I heard talk on NJbeer Reddit after they apparently fired a bunch of staff.

Searched and found what you were talking about. I had heard that they terminated several long time employees too.
Several breweries down here in SJ have recently closed and wouldn't be surprised if there was more to come. Pitman, a dry town, had 2 breweries and both have now closed, but the town voted to allow beer/wine licenses for restaurants.
Some are expanding though.

Pure speculation here but I suspected Brotherton did this very thing. The taste totally changed on the Jersey Devil DIPA and it reminded me of Yards. Seen a Yards truck making deliveries to the brewery (it’s within walking distance from my house) within a week of noticing this. It was my main beer at that time so the change was immediately noticeable.
Edit to add that kids in breweries is ok if the parents are actively parenting, responsible, and already have their children in behavin mode. Was shocked stopping in Double Nickle on a Friday night to pick up some takeout. Kids on the floor, in the aisles, adjacent to where the adults were sitting with toys scattered about. Dim lighting and live music, perfect storm for kids to get hurt.

Bill easing restrictions on New Jersey breweries heads to governor's desk
Legislation is on its way to Governor Phil Murphy's desk that would roll back restrictions on breweries in New Jersey.

Those restrictions they previously passed down were too much and seemed punitive.

Looks like they already suspended enforcement of the restrictions in early July, so there are no issues right now.Follow-up ^^^

People Are Drinking Less Craft Beer. Here’s Why, Says Brewers Association
In one way, the reasons for craft beer’s diminishing sales are complex, but in another sense, the reason is simple: People are drinking other types of alcohol instead.

Some people are getting smarter:
"Other reasons respondents said they were drinking less beer included opting for a healthier lifestyle overall, cutting back on overall calorie consumption, drinking more non-alcoholic beverages"
replacing it with other substances is more likely.

Healthier choices!
Or people are switching to canned mixed drinks. They have grown in popularity and are predicted to keep growing.

Do people in FL drink as much as they do in NC?
One thing that takes getting used to in NC compared to NJ is with the availability of alcohol everywhere, people seem to drink a lot more. It's not asleep on the floor drunk but I'm amazed getting breakfast at a restaurant on a weekend how many people will be getting drinks at 10am for instance. Or a beer w/ lunch at a generic lunch spot.
I have a customer who retired early in early 50's to FL. Bought a house on a golf course. Said he couldn't keep up with how much everyone drank. Said the party started everyday when the course opened. Said he hadn't drank like that since college. He has since unretired and moved back to NJ. Said he'd save FL for when he's not afraid of killing himself with alcohol.

Not sure. I don't think the geezers drink alot - but will have a drink at lunch or even brunch.

That's probably the case in any golf course community. The amount of drinking I saw in NJ during golf outings was stunning.

Most craft beer is so strong I tend to drink a little less of it when I'm drinking. I'll have maybe 2 cans of a 8% beer but 3 if it's 6%less demand -> lower price?
