>Legislation brewing to help state’s small brewers
When Ocean Township native Mark Edelson opened Iron Hill Brewery & Restaurant in Maple Shade almost three years ago, he hired 100 employees to prepare and serve food, clean dishes, work the bar, and brew his nationally award-winning beer. As owner of eight other Iron Hill locations in Pennsylvania and Delaware, Edelson dreams of spreading his concept and his beer across New Jersey. But he won’t be able to do that. State law limits him to two brewpubs and prohibits him from selling or sampling beer outside his always-bustling establishment. (Nurin, NJ Spotlight)
