Published April 14, 2018 | Vince Baglivo

Greater Newark Conservancy and the Ironbound District’s Hell’s Kitchen Lounge (150 Lafayette Street) will present their second annual Earth Day Beer Fest at the restaurant on Saturday, April 21st from 5:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m.

Celebrate Earth Day with craft beer, cider and giveaways. Brewery reps will discuss beer and green practices at the breweries while sharing tastes of this season’s offerings. Participating craft brewers will include Brooklyn, Blue Point, Devil’s Backbone, Demented, Goose Island, Hoboken, Ironbound Hard Cider, Kona, Long Trail, New Belgium, Otter Creek, River Horse and Sweetwater.

The cost is $25 per person. A portion of the proceeds will go to fund programs at Greater Newark Conservancy. Volunteer on April 20 or 21 at the Conservancy’s urban farms in Newark and help with planting, weeding, mulching and more. Volunteers 12 and older are welcome and volunteers 21 and older will receive a $5.00 savings ticket for this event. Groups of five or more can contact Michele Robinson (mrobinson@citybloom.org) to register or for more information.

The Conservancy provides educational programs that enrich the lives of thousands of inner city children from pre-school to high school. Sustainably-raised produce grown on the Conservancy’s urban farms in Newark increase access to fresh, nutritious food for thousands of low income residents of the City, including many senior citizens.

Through the City Bloom Landscaping Program, the Conservancy and the New Jersey Reentry Corporation provide job and life skills training for hundreds of Newark and Essex County residents as they move towards full-time employment and reclaimed lives.
