We've exhaustively addressed this elsewhere, but here goes:

We are genuinely sorry for the outrage this has caused. We had no idea of the controversy we signed up for. It's too late to cancel it, but we will be much more proactive of knowing what we're getting into in the future. For what it's worth, we have been paid $0 to host this. It is a public event open to the community. Our only financial tie are transactions from attendees. We encourage you to come and communicate your frustrations with their plans directly. We want what's best for the community. We're sorry for the commotion.

I think most of us realize you were trying to just have a fun event and bring people in the doors ..not many people know the dark truth behind that organization so can't really fault you guys for not knowing a organization that presents itself as cleaning up and improving the park isnt actually made for the reason .

While i wont be at this event because i would not be a nice person to them and their lies so remove myself from the situation - you guys have my continued support

Bullshit, you peddle Hurley's name on your product and he is hosting this event at your location while getting God knows what for pushing the People's Park agenda. You know exactly what you are supporting but money talks. Thanks for selling out LSP and all of its supporters.

Wait, you're getting on them for having a product with one of the most famous residents of JC? The guy is a local legend. Were they supposed to know beforehand that he would be part of an event like this?

So you’re letting them have the event for free?!

Yes, as we have with countless others. Space is free, customers pay per beer like any other day. Any meetup hosted by an outside company, where we remain open to the general public, is essentially a large group meeting up at the brewery. We had a real estate meetup Tuesday, and Sustainable JC meetup yesterday. Both were open to the general public. Beers are the same price they would be to any person any other day. If you'd like to host one at our facility, you're welcome to. Email taproom@902brewing.com.

So you see it’s fine: we’re allowing the group that’s subverting your democracy and trying to rape the park for their personal gain because .... they’re no different than the other fine civic groups in town. They’re the same.

You don’t think these scumbags are up in our democracy greasing palms at the state and county level? Who’s being naive ?

Hey! Shit happens. You should host the community group friends for liberty state park and keep the communication channels open.

It was cool y’all hosted sustainable jersey city!

That said, I’m totally biased to preserving and keeping LSP a nature oasis.

They are more than welcome to have an event here. As are anyone else in the community

I mean, we have plenty of sex offenders in the community. What if they wanted to have a group meeting? Just curious where the line is drawn, if anywhere.

Yeah. Curious to hear the brewery’s response to this bit of information.

It’s all bullshit.

That might be the worst part of it — at least other people who sold their souls to Fireman got paid for it. But don't worry, the optics of having a bunch of kids in your brewery at 9:30 on a school night filming propaganda for a cartoonishly evil developer who wants to bulldoze a nature preserve to expand his country club isn't going to come back to bite you on the ass at any point.
