Where the Money Goes
Post 419 is presenting the afternoon as a fundraiser for the Post and its work with local veterans. The American Legion Jersey City Beacon Post 419 calls itself “Veterans Helping Veterans,” and its own veterans organization brings civilians and veterans together to honor those who served and strengthen the community around them.
902 Brewing says 100% of event donations will benefit The Veteran Center of Hoboken and local Hudson County American Legion posts. The brewery’s listing points to a big project in Hoboken: the American Legion post there is expanding with a 20,000 square foot addition that includes 18 new apartment units for homeless veterans, expanded meeting and recreation space and community event space for veteran services.
What to Expect at 902 Brewing
Your $25 entry covers a first pour and a pint glass to take home, and 902 Brewing is pouring a special Veterans IPA for the occasion. Mark Byrnes handles the live music, and members of JC FOP Lodge #4 will be selling food, so you can settle in for the afternoon. The event runs four hours, which makes it easy to drop by between other Saturday plans.
Post 419 puts it simply: whether you are a veteran, have a loved one who served or just want to show your appreciation, come spend an afternoon supporting an organization that serves the community. Can’t make it? Sharing the event with friends and neighbors helps too.
Getting There
902 Brewing Company is at 101 Pacific Avenue, Jersey City, NJ 07304. Build in time for parking or a rideshare drop-off, and plan a safe ride home if you are staying for more than one beer.
