Flying Fish Brewing Company

When Gene Muller founded Flying Fish Brewing Co., located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, in 1995, he did so first on the World Wide Web - making it the world's first virtual microbrewery. That early Web site helped generate positive press coverage and helped attract the investors needed to make the virtual brewery a real one. Muller said the idea was to make the Web site “This Old House meets the World Wide Web”—letting people go behind the taps and see the thousands of details needed to put a microbrewery together. Flying Fish is now the largest of New Jersey's craft breweries.
