“The first phase of this initiative includes a website that has been created to assist residents and visitors find information about all of the breweries, distilleries and wineries in Monmouth County, as well as the local restaurants and businesses surrounding them,” Arnone was quoted as saying in a press release.

“The idea of having all of the establishments in one place allows residents and visitors to plan a day of enjoying the local products made in these facilities. It is our job as government officials to help these small businesses thrive in our communities,” Arnone said.

“We are really excited about this initiative and thankful to the county commissioners for setting it up,” said John Arcara, owner of Red Tank Brewing Company. “This program is really going to help the tourism here for breweries, distilleries and wineries.
