■ Manufacturing
apple brandy have been enjoyed by New Jersians for centuries – something not many businesses can attest to .
While the Garden State distillery industry remains small , with most distilleries still classified as “ craft distilleries ” – their impact is huge . Employing over 21,000 people , the distilleries industry in New Jersey has boomed in the past
two decades increasing job creation over 200 % during this period , contributing over $ 57 million in revenue annually to New Jersey ’ s GDP . More so than that , they ’ ve become woven into the industrial and cultural landscape . This past year , local New Jersey distillers joined forces with craft breweries and wineries to help celebrate ‘ MADE in NJ ’ Manufacturing Day , the
East Coast ’ s largest manufacturing networking event – an event that brings together nearly a thousand industry professionals to network , discuss , and celebrate all things made in New Jersey . Local distillers sponsored the event by contributing ‘ MADE in NJ ’ signature cocktails , featuring beer , wine , and spirits from Jersey Spirits Distilling Co ., Long Branch Distillery , Sourland Mountain Distilling , Bellamara Distillery , Mission Spirits , 902 Brewing Co , Three 3s , and Jersey Girl Brewing .
NJMEP supports the winery , distillery and brewery industry and often brings visitors to the facilities , like the Old York Cellars here , where people learn about the operations .
A Common Thread in the Economic Fabric
One common thread amongst all these small businesses and manufacturers is that they also serve as catalysts for economic revitalization , often breathing new life into disused buildings and landscapes , and catalyzing the development of surrounding areas . Beyond their economic impact , breweries , wineries , and distilleries have emerged as essential community hubs , providing a welcoming environment for local patrons and tourists of all ages and backgrounds . From hosting local artists to supporting industry and business initiatives , these local manufacturers embody the spirit of social responsibility and community engagement . As they continue to evolve and innovate , breweries , wineries , and distilleries serve as more than just purveyors of beer , wine , and spirits – they are integral components of the social , cultural , and economic fabric of their communities .
