I did some research on Cape May Brewing Company - when I was living in New Jersey, I wasn’t even 21 yet -, but I did my research and found that everybody loves Cape May. “Then, to see that it was a brand from New Jersey, where our roots are from, I thought it was awesome. “I was so excited because I’ve been wanting to do this for a while,” says Aaron Stasiak. When Cape May Brewing Company approached The Qualified Captain about the possibility of collaborating, both Lauren and Aaron were excited about the possibilities. “An audience is always there to cheer the Boat Ramp Champ on, even when everything seems to be going wrong.” “A Boat Ramp Champ is a person who unsuccessfully tries to back their boat into the water or pull their boat from the water,” explains Lauren Stasiak. The name of the beer, Boat Ramp Champ, is inspired by some of the most boneheaded folks one might encounter on the water. It keeps people on their toes, and, ultimately, raises awareness about safety on the water.” When we started, I didn’t really know where it was going, but now I know that we can do more than just poke fun. “Now, the goal is to help people learn from other’s mistakes. “The Qualified Captain began as a page to make fun of people who just don’t have a clue about the water,” Aaron Stasiak says. Together, they founded The Qualified Captain in 2016, gaining followers by posting pictures and videos of some of the most outrageous and hilarious mistakes that occur on the high seas. Originally from South Jersey, the founders of The Qualified Captain, brother-and-sister team Aaron and Lauren Stasiak, grew up in Shamong Township in Burlington County before eventually settling in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. As a boatsman myself, while I love the brand, I hope that I never end up on their Insta.” “And, with their focus on all things maritime, our brands complement each other well. “We’ve all been big fans of The Qualified Captain’s hilarious posts and all of their great merch,” says Cape May Brewing Company CEO Ryan Krill. A new crisp and refreshing Helles lager called Boat Ramp Champ, this brew will be available in Cape May Brewing Company’s Tasting Room beginning Friday, April 2nd, with distribution throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania beginning the following Monday, April 5th, and Delaware distribution to follow at a later date.
