Salute! The best beers in New Jersey are right here

If you're looking for a reason to open a cold one — other that you worked hard, didn't do anything at all, or it's just a nice day outside — how about it's "National Beer Day."

If Homer Simpson had his way, it would be a city holiday. Maybe they could make it that way in Philadelphia to replace the canceled Columbus Day.

It sure would be nice if Gov. Murphy lifted his restrictions on bars and left the good people of New Jersey belly up to one and celebrate this historic occasion

There are so many great beers and breweries that New Jersey has to offer. When I was growing up in Union City, my father after a hard day of either fighting fires for the Union City Fire Dept. or his other job as a sheet metal polisher would come home to a refrigerator full of Miller High Life or Rolling Rock. These were the two brands I used to sneak and drink while he was at work.

Now beer has come a long way, especially in New Jersey where some of the best beers are brewed. Here's a list from my social media. Please read it, buy some, crack one open and as they say in the old country, Salute! Chin Don!

If you could ask Governor Murphy one question...

Remember when New Jersey had a governor who would come on this radio station and answer your questions? So does Steve Trevelise. Of course, Murphy holds his daily press conferences updating us on what he's doing and taking questions from reporters, some of which he may not like or deem as political. But when it comes to facing the fire that are the questions that are from the people of New Jersey, Steve figured he'd give you a chance to ask him the question you always wanted to ask. Here are some of the questions his social media following would want to ask.

The best cheesesteaks in New Jersey

Move over Philadelphia, us Jerseyans know that the best cheesesteaks are done here in the Garden State. With that in mind and the fact that it was just National Cheesesteak Day, Steve Trevelise asked his Facebook following for the best cheesesteak joints in Jersey. Here's some of what they came up with.
