Over Beers - Icarus Brewing

November 14, 2017

Icarus and his father were imprisoned by King Minos of Crete within the walls of the Labyrinth his father created. But being a great craftsman his father would not suffer captivity. He made two pairs of wings by adhering feathers to a wooden frame with wax. Giving one pair to his son, he cautioned him that flying too near the sun would cause the wax to melt. But Icarus became ecstatic with the ability to fly and forgot his father's warning and flew too close to the sun. The wax melted, the feathers came loose and Icarus plunged to his death in the sea. Centuries later, brewing occurred.

Over Beers - Dark City Brewing Company

October 15, 2017

Dark City Brewing Company was the first brewery to open in Asbury Park. Kevin Sharpe and his two partners opened in early 2016 and have been brewing some great beer since. The primary goal at DCBC is to craft beers that are unique and eccentric. Asbury Park is a very creative community, it always has been, which is one of the many reasons they love calling it home. This city is bursting at the seams with innovative cuisines, music, art galleries galore and so much more. Their tasting room is a shrine for local creativity in every form. The rotating local art wall, the mural wall, the beers themselves. Everything.
