Jughandle Brewing Celebrates 1st Anniversary

It’s been a terrific first year for Chris Hanigan, Pete Artherholt, Mike Skudera, the founding partners of Jughandle Brewing Company in Tinton Falls.  Since opening their Asbury Ave microbrewery and taproom on June 18 last year, the beermeisters have their brew flowing in about 40 New Jersey adult beverage establishments.

Jughandle Brewing has doubled its beer taps, hired additional staff, extended its public tasting room hours, increased capacity by purchasing new fermenters, and continues to expand its wholesale market to new establishments throughout New Jersey.

Jughandle will be celebrating with special events each day this week. The crescendo will be a Pig Roast provided by their first wholesale customer, B2 Bistro + Bar of Red Bank, on Thursday from 3pm till 10pm.  On Saturday, they will release a limited edition (640 bottles) Bourbon Barrel Aged Breakfast Stout made with Booskerdoo Coffee.
