All Points West Leaves NJ for NY | New York City News

After nine years in Newark, All Points West Distillery is relocating to Kingston, New York, citing New Jersey’s outdated regulations as the reason for their exit. Struggling under laws that block direct-to-consumer shipping and food service in tasting rooms—common elsewhere—the distillery joins a growing wave of craft spirits makers fleeing stifling state rules. While New Jersey has made small concessions like farmers market sales, distillers feel ignored compared to breweries’ legislative wins, leaving them vulnerable in a competitive market. New York’s more supportive climate, with modern shipping laws and business incentives, offers a fresh start—and a stark reminder of how state policies can make or break small-batch spirits.
