the prohibition against serving food is super annoying. i go out with a group of guys every so often and one of the guys was pushing the colts neck stillhouse. id like to go but we usually get together after work and the no food thing is a deal breaker. i hear they usually have some food truck outside but i dont really like the food truck garbage.

i like lobster and BBQ but anytime i have had them from a food truck they have always been sub par. these people open up their food trucks and try to offer something that appears premium but i have yet to come across one that really is premium.
Breweries cannot serve food thanks to the restaurant industry. It's to protect the value of liquor licenses. It used to be that breweries were prohibited from serving anything, even alcohol on premises, but recently an exception was carved out, stipulating that breweries could serve beer only in connection with a brewery tour. Breweries do not need liquor licenses to serve.
Think about it: if breweries could serve food and beer, without needing to pay close to a million dollars for a liquor license, traditional restaurants would not be able to compete. Another result of ridiculous liquor license laws.
Funny enough, the breweries I go to don't even try to fake the "brewery tour requirement" anymore. Magnify used to hand you a "tour guide" (it was a small piece of paper explaining how they make beer) when you sat down at the bar. It might have been removed as a requirement.
Shout out to Magnify though, they make excellent beer and have recently branched out into hard seltzer if that's your thing. They don't just make IPAs (though they make a lot of IPAs). They make pretty good sours (the new hip thing) and stouts too.
Somehow, restaurants in New York are doing just fine despite the fact that breweries in NY can serve food. Magnify was the first brewery I went to where they made somewhat of a thing about the tour. I was confused at the time because I never knew that was a requirement. I’ve seen some other breweries have a tour demonstrated on screens, don’t know if that actually fulfills the requirement but I guess it’s not really enforced as I’ve never taken a tour in any of the dozen or so NJ breweries I’ve visited.
Magnify is great. Probably my favorite brewery in NJ so far. I’ve tried a few sours but I just can’t get into them at all.
I went in Kane in Ocean, NJ recently. Nice people and good beer. My one complaint is not all beers were available for filling a growler, so I wasn’t able to take home the beer I really wanted. Hoping to check out Magnify this weekend.

Okay. PA breweries can serve food though, and I thought their state owned liquor licenses were the worst. Regardless, I don't know why any venue anywhere selling alcohol wouldn't need a license just for the revenue alone. Ridiculous.
Every business has a natural right to serve liquor without a license. Liquor licensing is unconstitutional and anyone who participates in enforcing such rules needs to be locked in prison.
