We're back in Warren County where we'll be hosting The Mash, our newest LGBTQ community meetup at Man Skirt Brewing in Hackettstown. The name’s a nod to the mash, the step where grain and hot water come together to start every batch of beer. That’s the whole idea here: get everyone to mix together and you get something great.
No RSVP needed. Come with friends or come alone, most people do their first time. Alex Valvano, our Community Manager, will be there to welcome you!
Man Skirt has a ton of great options (including NA). And to celebrate our first one, pizza’s on us!7 attendees

Coffee Social is a monthly LGBTQ community gathering in High Bridge where LGBTQ people come together for relaxed conversation and connection. Some folks stop by for a quick hello, others stay the whole time, and both are welcome. It is an easy way to meet new people and spend part of your weekend with the community.
Check in with our Community Manager, Phil Carroll , who is there to welcome newcomers, help make introductions, and make sure everyone feels comfortable settling in, especially if it is your first time joining us.

Reading Between the Lines is a book-centered gathering that brings the LGBTQ community together for thoughtful, group conversation. The book is chosen by past attendees, which helps shape each gathering into something that feels shared and community-driven from the start.
The discussion is open and welcoming, with people jumping in to share thoughts, listen, and connect through different perspectives. You do not need to be a fast reader or have every page finished to feel part of the conversation. Curiosity and openness go a long way here.
Our Community Managers and the owners of Howling Basset Books, welcome newcomers and help guide the discussion so everyone has space to participate.
