According to Royal Bine Brewing co-founder Gabrielle Ward, opening a brewery can be a “royal pain.” However, after several long years, the father-daughter passion project undertaken by Ward and her father, Kenny, is finally coming to fruition.

While waiting for their Absecon brewery to open, they brewed a celebratory kolsch beer, dubbed “Worth the Wait” in collaboration with Pinelands Brewing Co., at 140 South Seventh Ave. in Little Egg Harbor.

Pinelands will host a weekend long release party on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 17 and 18, from noon to 8 p.m. both days.
