Black House Tavern Ale.
The Black House Pike stretches all the way from Camden's seaport, by NJ Turnpike exit 3, south through the suburban sprawl in Turnersville, across the Pinelands, and on to the casinos in Atlantic City. So there are lots of possible themes. But how about a Scottish pine ale for the forests? I bet someone was making pine ales in the forests of South Jersey at some point.
Thanks for the delicious beer!

Peach is the way to go. A peach lambic would be great, and a peach wheat ale is also interesting. It's a good way to show off Jersey peaches you can get at the farm stands on rt. 322. Maybe a tie-in with the annual peach festival near Mullica Hill?
For the local Swedish heritage (and nearby Swedesboro): How about a Swedish dubbelt öl, or double ale. I'm not sure if this style would work with peaches, but it might be worth a try....
Keep up the good work!

Ballentines should be one of the influences but i think we need to stretch out to Newarks neighbor E. Orange. A dry traditional American lager a la Rheingold!

Well growing up and living off of this exit for my entire life i would think this exit beer should symbolize a combination of flavors. Maybe a porter or stout full of hops and spices and cocoa or vanilla flavors. East Windsor was a mix of highly ethnic people that were all originally from the New York area and most commuted every day back and forth to NY.
It was a nice family community made up of amazing and diverse restuarants, from the Greek Diners on every other corner to the Italian pizza places on the corners.
The beer for exit 8 should just be called "Alls great at exit 8" , that was the slogan in the video that was first aired for the marketing of East Windsor.

I'm not sure what exit is best for Colts Neck, but any exit will do. A lot of Breweries are making Imperial Stouts aged in burbon barrels, How about an Imperial Stout aged in Apple Jack Barrels from Lairds in Colts Neck.

This exit dumps out on the black horse pike so a dark beer seems the way to go. Maybe a Balyic Porter.

Forgot to say with my suggestion of "All-American Pale Ale" for Exit 7, please make it affordable, like less than 1/2 the price of a 6-pack! It's only 750ml, a lttle more than 2 12oz bottles!

Exit 7 – All-American Pale Ale - to honor and acknowledge all the men and women serving and sacrificing in our great US Military that are based at McGuire AFB and Ft. Dix (exit 7), and the thousands that call Ft Dix their temporary home as they train and prepare for deployment overseas, not to mention the thousands who are retired military that once served there. The soldiers, airmen, sailors, and coasties based at McGuire/Ft. Dix have served tirelessly since 9-11 keeping our state and country safe.

I grew up in West Orange, so Exit 15W is special to me. I am thinking pay homage to Kearny's Scottish population with a Scottish Ale, flavored with some orange peel (in honor of West Orange) and coriander (paying homage to Newark's portugese population).

Since exit 8 leads east to the orchards (Battleview, Wemrock, Delicious and many others), I propose a beer brewed with apples or even a hard cider. People from all over the state and New York flood our roads in the fall for apples. This would be a great tribute. A pumpkin beer would also fit very well for exit 8 for the same reasons.
