Hammonton, NJ has several wineries that we have visited, but we had never tried a Hammonton brewery. We loved the beer and the atmosphere here!
Tasting room:
This brewery is a small craft brewery in downtown Hammonton, NJ. Their focus is brewing IPA’s and Saison style beers, which are available in their tasting room and distributed all over NJ.
The beer selections in our tasting were delicious, and the brewery was extremely dog friendly!
This may be our new favorite winery!
A very unique and cozy tasting room:
Very dog-friendly!
And so many delicious wines!
Southwind is located in Millville, NJ, and was established just about 40 years ago. Located on a 100-acre farm, Southwind always has events to attend such as yoga, book club, and Art & Wine nights. The grounds also has many walking and riding trails to enjoy.
This is currently Cumberland County’s only winery – so if you are in the area, make this a “must do” on your agenda – you won’t be disappointed!
Limoncello, Hooch, Margarita, Lager
Happy 6th Birthday, Limoncello!
Double Nickel is a craft brewery located in Pennsauken, NJ, and is super dog friendly! This brewery is located in the town I grew up in, so I was very excited to visit and do a tasting!
We enjoyed all the beer we tasted!
This brewery was definitely worth visiting – we will be back for sure!
Eclipse Brewing is located in Merchantville, NJ in the town’s former EMS building.
I was excited to try this Brewery, as it is located in the town where I attended elementary school! 
The tasting room had a great atmosphere – and had a World, United States, and NJ map where you can pin the location you are from!
Getting Medford Lakes on the map!
The owner is a 27-year homebrewer, and has some very tasty selections!
I liked each of the four beers in my tasting – and so did Brian. We stayed for a glass of our favorites.
We will definitely be visiting Eclipse again soon!
Not long after Margarita and I passed our test to become a registered Therapy Dog Team with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs, I learned about a great program called R.E.A.D. (Reading Education Assistance Dogs). I decided this would be an excellent opportunity for us, so I began to study for the written test. One day before Margarita’s 1st Gotcha Day / 7th-ish Birthday, we received the great news that I passed, and we are now officially a registered R.E.A.D. team!
“The mission of the R.E.A.D. program is to improve the literacy skills of children through the assistance of registered therapy teams as “literacy mentors.”
The Reading Education Assistance Dogs (R.E.A.D.) program improves children’s reading and communication skills by employing a powerful method: reading to an animal. But not just any animal. R.E.A.D. companions are registered therapy animals who volunteer with their owner/handlers as a team, going to schools, libraries and many other settings as reading companions for children.
R.E.A.D. is the first and foremost program that utilizes therapy animals to help kids improve their reading and communication skills and also teaches them to love books and reading. It’s been growing around the world since November of 1999 when ITA launched it here in Salt Lake City. More than 3,500 therapy teams have trained and registered with the program and are going strong!
Today, thousands of registered R.E.A.D. teams work throughout the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Italy, Finland, France, Sweden, South Africa, Slovenia, Spain, Netherlands, Norway and beyond. “
