There's also "Hell Summer" which is summer but too hot to enjoy it outdoors.

>They're trying to pass another where you can only have ~60 events a year. This includes participating in events not only hosting.
Jesus, that's so sad. I'm guessing this includes beer festivals, which is most of my exposure to new/different breweries. It's not like bars are at festivals promoting their beer lol.
Personally I'm not a frequent drinker, but I do find the atmosphere of breweries to be much better than a bar, seems much more personal and intimate. A shame that the guys on top would rather stop emerging businesses vs adapting themselves.

>Well, they can technically have two, under a certain size screen.
Yeah looked it up...under 65" lol. That's such a silly thing to even restrict size.
>Also no other beverages. Coffee or sprite is strictly illegal.
Nothing like shooting down alternatives for breweries to promote and better include designated drivers for safer roads, which when I last checked are the densest (or at least near the top) in the country.
I guess the real solution is to eliminate the liquor license quantity rules.
I never knew all these extra rules you listed, and admittedly I haven't been to a whole lot of breweries here, but now that I think about it they are very "bare" and the no food/alternative drinks/limited entertainment BS explains it.

Wait, breweries can't have TVs and music?

Yeah I'd say unless you are in one of the larger states, its more regional vs state specific. Especially since all the states in the NE are very small compared to the south or west.

Unfortunately NJ, or any state, is not immune to having folks like that. Go to the right parts of NJ and you'll find people that have completely opposite ideologies than you.

I bet close friends and family reached out, as you'd expect in any situation.
But the millions of people who saw a random video or photo that went viral? I don't think you should expect anything more than "Oh shoot, that sucks. Hope she gets better! Anyway on to the next video!"
