    Didn't see this posted. Looks like it was just announced.

    Seems like NJ Beer Co may have acquired 902, which is much smaller but more creative in their brewing.. best of luck to them!

    Hopefully the merger will lead to some good beer. I haven't really paid much attention to either of these companies

    everything I've had from 902 has been meh, similarly to departed soles. Makes me sad as these are my local breweries and I wish I could say they were putting out good stuff.

    Same here. NJ Beer Co. is a couple of blocks away from my house and I hardly ever go there. Their beer isn’t bad by any means but there is just too much great beer around to spend my money over there on a regular basis. I’m still hoping they improve because I’d love to have a great brewery in my hometown.

    Unfortunately it usually does not work that way.
    Meh+meh=MEH

    Fwiw I like departed soles. They're doing their own thing.

    also enjoy most of their beers and GF friends are big fans of what they put out. Their pumpkin beer is very good
