“Assault on the venues”? What are you talking about? Some kind of weird “yes we took the money to host this attack on democracy, but.....something something we’re the real victims here”?

Scumbag.

I don’t see anything misleading about a purposefully generic headline “902 Brewing to host Paul Fireman backed event” - that’s just a straight up fact based headline. That’s what’s happening here.

Look, you got other shit to worry about, I’m done the tit for tat thing too and I know you are as well - it’s clear. You have beer to brew, there will be plenty of people coming in the door, you may not even feel a pinch on your pocket, but next go around, think about the groups you invite indoors.

Probably has some locker room dirt on him.

This thread lol

I’m sorry what’s an “assault on a venue”?

Yup it’s a tried and true method of protest for a reason.

Intentionally misleading headline is cyber bullying. It reads like we are a proxy for something that we're not.

If you are referring to this, we we're discouraging the boycott of small bars and restaurants. Intention was to fight back against the large scale distributors which is ironically aligned with your LSP views. Again, you're intentionally misleading.

Just did.

I'll bite. What's a reasonable timeframe?

Haven't received anything. You can email me personally, colby@902brewing.com . I can promise you a reply.

Such a shame Hurley decided to sacrifice his sterling reputation for this horseshit. Wonder what Fireman offered him for his soul.

Internet bullying = people letting you know legit grievances against this group. But you don’t really care, you just want to throw a shield up, or to plug your ears and carry on.

Going back through your comments (54 days ago), you’ve in the past called for boycotts of other bars that serve mass chain beer - showing you want consumers to vote with dollars on their choice for beer and even hurt other bars. So you’ve made my choice for me - I will now boycott you.

Your call for boycott tactics: https://www.reddit.com/r/njbeer/comments/10m2a3r/the_njabc_has_relaxed_the_10day_notification_for/j64na68/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3

Plus, you can play soccer wherever you want. LSP has huge fields all you need is to buy those small nets. Shit we used to play with a crinkled-up can on asphalt.

Its like they think kids don't have any imagination for play.

Or maybe they should have been aware of this issue that has been persistent in there community for close to, if not longer than two decades??

And bring some Departed Soles with you.

> Dingbatz in Clifton got torn a new one and lost a lot of business as a result of having a nazi metal band perform.

Dawg holy shit. They should've blasted that Dead Kennedys song at them.

I agree with your entire post. I like them more than Departed Soles (although I do love that Southward Ale) but I think I'm definitely going to give Departed Soles more of my business in the short-term.

I hope you are being handsomely compensated for hosting this event. If you aren’t you should ask for more money. IMO.

Ah bummer, that’s the confirmation that you’re willing to host this event. I can’t support you anymore. This is one of the largest issues locally and you’ve decided you’re cool with Paul Fireman and his group.

His people by the way have had other public events canceled around this - this isn’t about public debate or questions.

Boycott them otherwise you’re using a similarly worthless excuse.

Boycott.

Final comments here.

1. We aren't members, donors, or in any way affiliated with this event itself. We're a venue that has no skin in the game.
2. Here are some of the events we have actually HOSTED: Veterans Fundraiser's, Toy Drives for Children, Brain Cancer 5K Fundraiser, Breast Cancer 5K Fundraiser, Food Drives, Right to Counsel for Rent in JC (hosted 2 weeks ago), Adopt A Pup, the list goes on. Those are events we WORKED hand in hand with the organizer. We had skin in the game. Hold those against us, too.
3. Some of you mentioned we should 'host' Friends of LSP. They are more than welcome to use the space in the exact same manner as those tonight are. Have them email taproom@902brewing.com.
4. We woke up today having zero idea any of this was controversial. No master plan to profit from a billionaire takeover of the park. No strategic plotting to capitalize off of the community. No sinister plotting behind closed doors. NOTHING. So, thanks for the morning assault
5. We're not going to cancel a public event over internet bullying. That being said, as actual humans that reside right here in Jersey City alongside of you, we hope that all of you attacking us will leave your computer screens tonight, come out alongside your community, and have your voice heard. It's not a private event. The doors are open to YOU. Give YOUR feedback. Holding it against us will do absolutely nothing to them.

We've unfortunately spent out morning reading up on why any of this is controversial instead of brewing beer. So, you got us there. Back to producing local liquids.

This, frankly, sounds like a cop out. If you're not into politics, then don't host an event like this. And do more research than a 10 second skim when it's something to do with the community you are in and the people who frequent your establishment. Besides... a 10 second skim would have immediately brought up all of the information about this. You were intellectually lazy about this. Own that you effed up. Cancel the event. Do better.
