Trinity Church off of Kings Highway in Swedesboro, NJ was one of the first churches in our area, and is well known nation-wide. It was founded in 1703 and the congregation originally met in Schorn Log Cabin. Since early 14th century, monks in germany were required to fast. Bocks and doppelbock beers are higher in food energy and nutrients than lighter lagers, thus providing sustenance during this period. I'm thinking Exit 2 could be called the Exit 2 Trinity Congregator (doppelbock), paying homage to the Salvator, with the theme that much like a great church..a great brew will bring people together!
submitted for Exit 2 (Woolwich Township) by JewceOfTheSon August 15th, 2010 8:43 PM
Another great idea for Exit 2 would be focusing on how Woolwich Twp. was first known as Raccoon. An early name for the area of Swedesboro was Raccoon, so named for the Creek in the same vicinity, which is still in existence. During the 17th century Swedish settlers from the Swedish colony of New Sweden came upstream along Raccoon Creek to found and settle the communities of Bridgeport (originally called New Stockholm) and Swedesboro. Since raccoons are two-toned light and dark colored creatures, a Flying Fish Raccoon Creek Black and Tan would be a great idea for Exit 2.

Col. Robert Brown is a very historical figure in the town of Swedesboro, NJ. He was a lawyer, storekeeper, money lender, patriot, head of a militia in Swedesboro and Colonel in the American Army during the Revolutionary War. He owned over 1000 acres of land which he purchased from early settlers in Swedesboro, NJ, including a 63 acre island just below the bridge over Raccoon Creek called Thoroughfare Island, dating back to 1676. His main house, of many he owned, still stands on the corner of Main and Allen Streets. I believe a Brown Ale should be brewed for Exit 2, being called the Colonel Robert Brown Ale...being a play on words, especially since Flying Fish does not have a brown ale!

You should do exits of the Parkway! From the tip of the shore to the top of the state! Mostly along the coastline and there are plenty of fishy stories and towns to get new brews.

Bellmawr, Runnemede, Deptford, Almonesson, and Mt. Ephraim are the main towns closest to Exit 3.
These towns are made up of hard-working blue collar citizens who would like to come home to a refreshing and tasty beer. Why not try a concoction of Jersey Fresh blueberries and Meade?
Exits 2, 3, or 5 must involve some Jersey Fresh products to represent the farmers. Exit 3 is a definite candidate.
Sorry for the folks who believe the Pine Barrens should be involved somehow, but I would reserve that for Exit 5 (Mt. Holly, Eastampton, Pemberton, Burlington, Fort Dix) since it's made up of strictly the Pine Barrens.

If you go over the Newark Bay Bridge, and you turn your nose in the right direction, you can smell both artificial grape flavor and licorice floating down the river. And sometimes, petroleum. I imagine a really potent brew, using one or both of the aformentioned smells.
submitted for Exit 14 (City of Newark) by Ms_New_Jersey July 18th, 2010 2:45 AM
Well considering the airport, dump, swamp, and incinerator, and the 14 exits span to jersey city, which is as we all know not considered the cleanest place in the world(i'm from JC)
I was thinking a strong IPA with a bitter start and high alcohol content. A nice high alpha(around 14%-21%) with some flavoring added later. definitely a nice london ale yeast for color and complexity.

To incorporate both west and east off of 7a and 7 a witte beer with cranberry. Perfect
submitted for Exit 7 (Bordentown Twp) by sweetbabette May 21st, 2010 12:22 AM
Something that reminds me of Roseanne Roseannadanna, of Fort Lee, New Jersey.
I'll leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine which brew & blend of hops they would suggest.

Cranberry beer like a Lambic. Bordentown is the home of Ocean Spray and a Cranberry Fest in October.
