National Drink Beer Day with Departed Soles Brewing Co.

Join us at The Exchange in Jersey City for National Drink Beer Day, where local craft beer meets heartfelt storytelling and stunning skyline views.

This year, we’re raising a glass with Departed Soles Brewing Co., founded by Steve Phillips to honor his late best friend. The brewery’s name reflects their shared dream of opening a brewery together and their love of sneakers — a nod to the “soles” that started it all. Today, Steve carries on that dream by crafting award-winning, gluten-free-friendly beers that bring people together.

Sip a curated selection of Departed Soles’ signature brews while enjoying delicious bites and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Plus, meet Steve in person and hear how a personal passion project became one of Jersey City’s most beloved breweries.

Whether you’re a craft beer enthusiast or just looking for a fun night out, come celebrate community, craftsmanship, and the power of following a dream — one pint at a time. Cheers!
