You can find Hidden Sands Brewing Company in Egg Harbor Township (off Exit 37 of the New Jersey Parkway), which neighbors Atlantic City.
"Our as well as other breweries all prepare for 'beer season' which increases production to stay ahead of demand. Brewing beer isn't as quick as many people think," says Matt Helm, Managing Member, who took time out of his busy days ramping up for the summer season to answer some of 141 miles' questions via email.
Helm explained the brewery's laborious process, surely one of the reasons why it was nominated for a Best of Jersey Shore 2025 award.
This entire process can take anywhere from nine days to 8 weeks, depending on the style of beer. Hidden Sands makes beer in both kegs (both 1/2 and 1/6 sizes) and in pint cans.

Helm said Egg Harbor Township, which he also counts as his home, provides a lot of diversity and community and local business support.
Egg Harbor's ideal proximity to other major tourist areas brings a lot of curious beer drinkers to the tap room, Helm says.
"Since we are in a tourism area, we appreciate seeing new faces of the people visiting the shore area. We see people from as far north as Long Beach Island and as far south as Cape May," He adds. "We see a lot of our patrons that are on their way to their visit to the shore or Atlantic City."
