2025 Walk to Washington: The Zita Group Brings Back Their Beer And Wine Reception After A Five-Year Hiatus
We’re still buzzing from all the good conversations and memories from our 2025 Beer and Wine Reception last Thursday, February 6. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for a lively evening to reconnect with NJ’s top decision-makers and meet the 2025 gubernatorial candidates over a stellar selection of craft beverages curated by the Brewers Guild of New Jersey.

The Legacy of NJ’s Walk to Washington
For over 80 years, the Walk to Washington has been NJ’s premier networking-on-the-go tradition, bringing top minds together to discuss the future of New Jersey. The walk refers to these leaders moving through the aisles, meeting, mingling and exchanging ideas. This year, the 2025 gubernatorial candidates joined the trip to our nation’s capital.
Celebrating TZG’s Beer and Wine Reception: A Long Tradition
Since 2011, we’ve been proud to host the Beer & Wine Reception, bringing people together with craft brews and even better conversations. This year, the reception was hosted at Omni Shoreham Hotel for the first time and featured a cocktail reception instead of a traditional sit-down dinner.
A huge thank you to our 2025 sponsors: The Brewers Guild of New Jersey, RELX, PMI U.S., NJAA, NRG, Neste, T-Mobile and IFA. We’re grateful to bring this annual tradition back and can’t wait to do it again next year!
