There are many great beer stories in New Jersey's history. Most of this history has remained untapped because they don't teach this stuff in school. Our earliest documented commercial brewery (in Hoboken) quickly met a violent end at the hands of Lenni Lenape Indians. Beer smuggling gangsters with names like “Longy,” “Waxey,” and “Richie the Boot” made millions brewing and distributing illegal beer during Prohibition. Mob bosses fought the “Newark Beer War” and they “organized” themselves at the first National Meeting of Bosses in Atlantic City. Retired Army Colonel, Ira L. Reeves was appointed as New Jersey's Prohibition Czar, only to quit after just eight months, calling for an end to Prohibition. Krueger's Brewery of Newark was the first to sell beer in cans, and Ballantine was the Country's most popular ale.
