We are a group of beer and wine lovers who enjoy meeting new grapes, trying wines we're unfamiliar with, comparing varietal wines produced in different growing regions, sampling interesting craft and import beers, etc. We typically meet on Thursday evenings at Wicked Wines in Healdsburg for a themed tasting (usually blind) and have now started a game night on Tuesday evenings where we can sip beers or wines of interest while playing old favorites or learning to play new games. Group choice; we h …

Post game we can head out to a local bar for some good beer ;) Games will typically start at 11:30am on either Saturday or Sunday.

This group is an experiment, and partly a selfish one. I just finished grad school, moved out to the city, and finally have had some time to really explore what it is that I want out of life. And, shit! This stuff can be *difficult* to grapple with. For example, how do we achieve true happiness? What does "success" mean? What are the implications of mortality on daily life? Can we care more about the rest of the world than we currently do? Where the *hell* is Waldo? If you're in your twenties …

Do you want to learn to make - or get even better at making - your own all-grain homebrewed beer (or wine or mead, soda, etc) in a supportive, fun group? A lot of women want to homebrew but feel intimidated by the science, the jargon, and the equipment. A lot of women hang around or help while "the guys" are brewing, but are afraid to take on this often very male hobby for themselves. All women (-cis and -trans) welcome. Let's brew do-it-yourself all-grain together, share our experience and curi …

Meetings will be during the weekend only to maximize the opportunity for people attend. Join now to help build Brewstars from the botton up!

We meet once a month to drink beer & share lessons learned on various topics including computer science, design, HCI, complex systems development, programming languages, compiler optimization, cryptography, computer music, AI... and whatever else the group finds interesting. The common thread is that most of the presenters & audience know at least one dialect of lisp (eg Common Lisp, Scheme, Clojure, Emacs Lisp, etc). But it is definitely a polyglot (not just lisp-related) group & presentations …

This Meetup group is for at-home dads in San Francisco! We're all about our kids and doing fun stuff with them during the "work week" (M-F): walks and hikes and playgrounds and sports and art and beer and books... anything really. All of us play a sizable caregiving role with our little ones, but some of us balance that role with part-time work, working evenings or weekends, consulting, project-based work, looking for a job, etc. Our meetups tend to occur on Mondays at 10am (rotating between Dol …

This group is for guys who are either new in town or just want to meet some cool people. I just moved to the Bay Area and am looking to meet some other guys to do some of the things I enjoy, such as drinking wine, talking about life, playing poker, hiking and playing sports. I've got a great girlfriend so I'm not as interested in going out to bars and scamming on hotties (but we can reminisce about that one time...). If you enjoy conversation and meeting new people, let's all grab a beer or a gl …

Come on and join the fun. If you enjoy a bit of trivia while you have some beer and socialize, this group is for you. You do not have to be a hardcore trivia genius to participate.

Most of the venues will be in Berkeley and Oakland (near BART or public transportation for those coming from further afield) to start with, e.g. Ben and Nick’s, Albatross, maybe Pyramid. But I am open to suggestions for other spots. I also love hiking and other outdoor activities, so in the …
