Tavern Talks at Departed Soles

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.

Departed Soles hosts RevolutionNJ and friends to explore the aftermath of the Revolution in New Jersey. Participants are invited to imagine that you are in a colonial tavern after the Treaty of Paris was signed. The tavern air smells like beer and fresh government. Reenactors and participants will come up with new and exciting ways to fill the British Empire-shaped hole left behind by the War. What kind of government do we want? What will representation look like? Who will have a say in how things are done? What exactly should this new constitution consider?

Participants will explore the questions faced by everyday people in the wake of the American Revolution and decide the fate of our young republic. You might find that the past is closer than you think.

No prior historical knowledge is required, but you can explore the guide booklet here to prepare: https://www.revnj.org/s/TavernTalksMobBeginstoReasonBooklet.pdf
