Tavern Talks at 120 East State Featuring River Horse Brewing Co.

What's brewing in America? Calling all history-curious brewery enthusiasts to join RevolutionNJ in the age old tradition of debating revolutionary ideas in bars with friends.

120 East State and River Horse Brewing host RevolutionNJ and friends to explore the ideals and motivations behind the American Revolution. Attendees are invited to imagine that you are in a colonial tavern. Neighbors, family, and friends with conflicting ideologies are all around you. In a defining moment for the American colonies, you must decide which side to take. You might find that the past is closer than you think!

Note: this is not a lecture! Attendees will have the opportunity to talk with reenactors about problems that we still face in our communities today, and use their civic voices as part of an interactive, immersive experience. Using accounts from the past, reenactors will immerse participants in back and forth discussion to help inform their decision. So, what happens when a loyalist, a patriot, and a pacifist walk into a bar? Join RevolutionNJ and River Horse Brewing at 120 East State in Trenton on December 29th from 12:00 - 2:00PM to find out!

Before you arrive, take a look at our booklet linked below to prepare for the event.
