It’s going to be a short and spring-like work week, so get out there and enjoy it. From a pork festival at Zeppelin Hall to the debut of a new stout at Departed Soles — here are this week’s best events happening in or around Jersey City.
Yoga & Beer at Departed Soles (Wednesday)

New beer release at Departed Soles (Friday)
Departed Soles has teamed up with the Montclair Bread Company to debut Doughnut Soles — a new white stout that “has the aroma of a brioche donut, the heavy body of a stout, the appearance of a blonde, and subtle chocolate and coffee flavors.”
