Whale Tale Brewery in Cape May, New Jersey, is a fresh face on the craft beer scene, having taken over the former COHO Brewery in January. With an impressive and diverse tap list, this spot offers something for every beer lover—whether you’re into IPAs, stouts, pilsners, sours, wheat beers, German or Belgian styles, or even seltzers and ales. Their lineup also includes a solid range of lagers and a smooth porter, making it easy to find a new favorite with each visit.

The brewery’s space is wide open and thoughtfully designed, with an industrial aesthetic that complements its laid-back vibe. The main tasting room features two inviting lounge areas with couches and comfy chairs, plus beer barrel tables and a massive stone bar as the centerpiece. A side wall bar offers additional seating, and there’s a designated area for live music, keeping the energy high on performance nights.

Beyond the beer, Whale Tale is a full experience—pet friendly, stocked with fun table games, and even home to a mini museum that gives it a unique character. Merchandise is also available for those who want to take a piece of the visit home. Whether you’re there to relax in one of the lounges or enjoy the vibrant atmosphere with friends, it’s a fun and welcoming place to hang out and enjoy great brews.

CHEERS!
