The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners has proclaimed March as Craft Beverage Month, kicking off the celebration this week at D’Arcy’s Tavern. County leaders say the designation highlights Monmouth County’s growing craft beverage industry, the largest in the state, and comes ahead of a busy tourism season.
Officials expect breweries, distilleries and taverns to draw visitors as the region prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup (Fee-Fa) and celebrations marking America’s 250th anniversary. Speakers at the event included representatives from FC Monmouth and New Jersey Youth Soccer, who encouraged residents and visitors alike to support local breweries and craft beverage makers throughout the month.
