BioBeers Five recap

Posted by Jim H on November 22, 2008

We all had a great time yesterday at BioBeers.  As usual, the folks at Flying Dog were most generous.  When we got there, their LN2 supply was being refilled, so no beer on tap.  Instead, they opened their cooler and we got a couple of bottled beers before the taps were put on-line at about 5 PM.

The attendance was just over 60 people, so interest continues to grow.  A lot of new faces in the crowd, which I appreciate.

I think my spit in a shot glass demo went OK, but the shampoo made the shot taste horrible. Especially after drinking all the good beer. So I wussed out and didn’t toss the shot. Makes for a pretty picture, though.

My thanks again to all those in attendance. Especially Jon for giving his presentation on Lonza and Bob Buckheit for talking about ImQuest and bringing his people to mingle. Thanks also to Howard for recruiting a number of people from Ft Detrick. Too many new people to mention, but I think everyone had a good time. I am also getting pushed to make this a monthly event, and the participation/interest seems to be there.

I may try to get my buddy, Brian Malow (Science Comedian) to come while he’s in town. Perhaps we can have a venue at the Bentz Street Sports Bar in December?
