Newark has long been a hub of activity for the beer industry in New Jersey.

After all, the landmark India Pale Ale from P. Ballantine & Sons Brewing Company of Newark, considered by some to be the first American IPA, hit the market in 1878.

Likewise, anyone who has flown into or out of Newark Liberty International Airport has spotted Anheuser-Busch's Newark brewery for Budweiser and related products, open since 1951.

It makes plenty of sense that Newark's Prudential Center — home of the New Jersey Devils hockey, Seton Hall University basketball, live music and more — has a robust beer roster throughout its Lafayette Street space.

“With our dedication to our regional fans and business owners in mind, we felt it was important Prudential Center showcased the local tastes and flavors of our region," said Brittanie Boyd, vice president, business operations and guest experience, in a statement.

Currently 14 local operations offer upwards of 20 different area craft selections, ranging in price from $9 to $12. Jersey beer is on tap at the arena's Jersey Brewed Biergartens in sections 1, 12, 115 and 130 as well as all bars, the Rock Bar and the Prudential Center's suites.
