Long Beach Township's Premier Craft Spirits Specialists

Shore-Crafted Spirits for LBI's Most Expansive Community

If you need a destination that matches the spirit of a Long Beach Island summer, look no further than the island's only family-owned craft distillery. Long Beach Township is the largest and most diverse community on LBI, stretching from the quiet Holgate preserve in the south to the exclusive enclaves of Loveladies and High Bar Harbor in the north - and its summer population can swell to over 130,000. Whether you're a seasonal homeowner making your annual return or a first-time renter exploring the island, a stop at a craft distillery elevates any Long Beach Island experience.

LBI Distilling Company occupies a well-earned place in this community's social fabric. We produce all of our spirits - Cool Vibes Vodka, Shark Fin Gin, Rudderless Rum, and Aurora Borealis Bourbon - right here on Long Beach Boulevard. This isn't bottled-elsewhere beverage tourism. It's the genuine article: a New Jersey-distilled, family-run operation that brings true craft to every pour and welcomes Long Beach Township visitors like regulars from day one.

Crafted for LBI's Seasonal Lifestyle

The seasonal rhythm of Long Beach Township is one of its defining traits. Come summer, the island transforms - and we transform with it, bringing extended energy, live weekend music, and a rotating cast of craft cocktails to our two-level tasting space. Downstairs offers the calm, quiet atmosphere that suits a slower evening; upstairs delivers the high-energy excitement of a celebration, complete with music and the buzz of a crowd enjoying the season together.

Our spirits pair naturally with the island lifestyle that brings visitors back year after year. Our Rudderless Rum captures the warmth and ease of a Long Beach Island afternoon, while our Shark Fin Gin - with its citrus-vanilla profile - feels perfectly at home in a seaside setting. We also offer to-go options for those who want to bring a piece of the shore experience back to their rental or seasonal home.

Whether you're spending a week or the whole summer, make the craft distillery in Long Beach Township a stop you return to again and again.

Our Long Beach Township Advantage

Long Beach Township's character as a predominantly seasonal, second-home community means its visitors are experienced travelers with discerning tastes. We built our distillery experience to rise to that standard - from the quality of our spirits to the atmosphere of our tasting rooms and the warmth of our family-run hospitality.

Aurora Borealis Bourbon aged two and a half years with notes of honey, baked bread, and brown sugar - a true sipping spirit for guests who know what they're looking for
Shore-crafted cocktails like the Beach Vacation, Seaside Spritz, and Salt Water Siren designed to reflect the rhythms of LBI living
To-go bottle options so seasonal homeowners can stock the beach house with spirits that were made right here on the island
Distilled exclusively on Long Beach Island - not shipped in or rebranded from an outside facility anywhere up or down the coast
Family-owned hospitality where every guest, whether it's their first visit or their fifteenth, is treated like part of the island community

The craft distillery in Long Beach Township is more than a tasting destination - it's a place that honors the island's identity, one glass at a time.
