A social group for 30's and 40's formed around our shared love of craft beer. Not all of our events involve beer, but as members we do things like brewery tours, attending beer release parties, happy hours, bottle shares and local craft beer festivals. In order to join this group, please be fun, upbeat, and enjoy craft beer. Fresh faces, and first time Meetup attendees, are definitely encouraged to join!

Meetup group intended to explore Washington's craft beer scene. There are plenty of interesting taps around the city and some breweries as well. We'll try to sample some of their wares, and we'll do so in a way that respects the beverage, the craft, and each other (i.e., this is NOT for the binge crowd!).  Anyone interested in tasting and learning about a chronically underrated and underestimated craft, and doing so in moderation, is invited to join.  We do monthly events, and if you want to mee …

I am starting this group because I would love to find people that have the same interest in upcycling, repurposing, and refinishing stuff. This group would get together to talk about DIY techniques or outings to those dirty/junky places other people would overlook.

Love Craft brew? So do we, but we love to make it even more than drinking it (well maybe). Beginner, amateur, novice or thinking of going pro, you are welcome in our homebrew club. We're going to learn about brewing beer, different styles, gadgets, how to taste beer and submit your beer for competition. What we are not, is a social drinking club. We stress education and responsible drinking. You don't have to brew beer to join the club, but once you do, you'll be hooked (so be forewarned). This …

Hi all, As a divorced baby boomer thinking about retirement I'm interested in finding an alternative to living alone or in a high-rise retirement building. An alternative that allows several women to live together and have separate 1-2 bedroomn apartments while also sharing some common space like kitchen, dining, deck, garden, craft/art studio space, etc. for enjoying each others company. The research I've done shows that co-housing communities tend to be expensive and they often have long w …
