Cape May Brewing Company has won five awards from The World Beer Championships, America’s oldest international beer competition.
Says the WBC: “Instead of trying to cram the tasting of hundreds or thousands of beers into a week, or even a weekend, like other beer competitions, we review a different category of beer every other month and carefully blind taste no more than thirty-five beers a day with a small cadre of experienced judges from the retail, on-premise, distribution, and importing trades…”
Those judges, all of them certified by the Beverage Tasting Institute, selected CMB’s South Jersey Secession Session Scottish Ale for a bronze; the Mop Water Ale, Biscuits and Honey ESB, and Coastal Evacuation Double IPA for silvers; and the Blonde Ale for the full monty — gold.
The experts described the latter as having “bright, sweet, earthy, creamy dark aromas of honey butter, frosted scone, and grilled citrus with a supple, crisp, finely carbonated dry-yet-fruity medium body and tingling, compelling, medium-long pine resin, pepper greens and a golden beet finish with dusty, papery, earthy harsh tannins.”
These honors bring CMB’s 2015 award count up to 11, including a naming by the New York International Beer Competition as New Jersey’s Brewery of the Year.

About Cape May Brewing Company:
Once upon a time, twenty-something Ryan Krill earned a six-figure salary working in finance and real estate development in Manhattan, while his college roommate, Chris Henke, designed satellites. During a summer weekend at the Jersey shore, they brewed a batch of beer with Ryan’s dad that wasn’t half bad. “Should we open a brewery?” Ryan asked, only half-serious. But, by the following year, the three guys had secured a space at Cape May Airport where they concocted a makeshift brew system and honed their beer-making skills. In 2011, they started with one client. Today, there are over 270 accounts in Jersey and Pennsylvania proudly serving the guys’ award-winning recipes. And CMBC’s fearless leaders have never looked back.
