Photos from Mega Geek Beers 2017
It’s Geek Beers tonight, 5pm – 8pm at Marten Brewpub. I’ve booked the long table. Hope to see you there!
Here’s a story:
When I moved to Vernon in 2012, my biggest worry is that I wouldn’t be able to find people who were interested in tech, business, design, the web, coding, remote working, blogging.
Then I met Kazia. She wanted to start an event called Geek Beers. We did the first one at Sir Winstons. A bunch of people came. Amazing people: a great variety of folks from different backgrounds, and with different skillsets.
It showed me that Vernon has one thing that many towns lack: awesome community.
We’ve never made Geek Beers super structured. You can’t sponsor a Geek Beers and give a boring sales presentation. It’s not about showing up “so you can hire a programmer.”
Geek Beers is about one thing: long-lasting building friendships. That’s it.
If you’re into that, you should come tonight!
Cheers,
Justin

#geekbeers next Thurs, Feb 23, 2017
Ratio Coffee is offering a private party for Geek Beers next Thurs (5pm-8pm). They have three amazing beers on tap, plus some incredible cocktails (also availabe as virgin drinks).
PLUS: Chef Laurie is creating a special tapas menu for us. It includes: spanakapitas, spiced nuts, croquettes, mango chicken triangles, bacon wrapped dates with blue cheese, marinated manchego cheese with orange preserves.
This will be a nice, “quiet” place for us to chat, and enjoy some good brews and food. Prices on food and beer are very reasonable.
Space is limited, so you’ll need to pre-register for this one: RSVP here.

Halloween Geek Beers: Oct 27, 2016
On Thursday (October 27th, 2016), from 6pm-9pm we’ll be hanging out at Morgan’s place for a Halloween themed Geek Beers.
Costumes are encouraged! Doesn’t have to be crazy (if you have a wig, put it on).
(If this is your first event: normally we go to Marten Brewpub, but every once in a while we’ll do something special like this. We’ll hang out, eat some snacks, and drink some good beer.)
Morgan says:
“I’ll make pulled pork, and there will be enough beer for everyone, but we encourage folks to introduce the group to their favorite beer”. So if you have a favorite beer, bring it along to share. 😉
Who: You!
What: Geeks, Beers, Halloween
When: Thurs, Oct 27, 6pm-9pm
Where: Morgan’s house (I’ll send the address when you RSVP)
Why: hanging out is fun
If you want to come, you need to RSVP! (similar to the pub, this is an adults only event)
