The Point Pleasant Beach boardwalk will transform into a paradise for beer enthusiasts this Saturday, November 1, 2025, with the return of Beers on the Boards 2025, one of New Jersey’s most anticipated craft beer festivals. Hosted by the Point Pleasant Beach Chamber of Commerce, the event promises a full day of tasting, live music, and seaside festivities at Martell’s Tiki Bar, right on the iconic boardwalk.
Festival-goers can choose between two sessions to experience unlimited craft beverages and gourmet fare. Session one runs from 12:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., while session two takes place from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Tickets for those sampling the beer are priced at $65, and a designated driver ticket is available for $25, ensuring a safe and enjoyable day for everyone.
Attendees can indulge in an all-you-can-eat gourmet buffet while exploring a wide range of local craft beers, hard ciders, and spiked seltzers from some of New Jersey’s top breweries. The festival offers a rare chance to taste a curated selection of beverages from both established and up-and-coming brewers, celebrating the state’s growing craft beer scene. Beer lovers will also have the opportunity to participate in the Best Jersey Beer contest, voting for their favorite brew. The winning beer will be featured on tap at Martell’s for the season, giving attendees a say in shaping the local beer offerings.
Throughout the day, the boardwalk will be alive with live performances by Ember’s Duo and Big Bang Baby Duo, providing the perfect soundtrack to a lively, festive atmosphere. The combination of music, food, and craft beer makes this event a must-attend for locals and visitors alike.
