I am thinking meetups at my house on occassion when we need an outlet - say for a sewing machien or hot glue gun!  And having other m …

We are a group of people in the DC Metro area that love craft beer and trying new things! Beer Snobs need not apply! We are much to laid back to talk snobbery and say we hate this or that. We try all and accept all as they are. We meet twice a month, the first and third Thursday at local bars that have a good craft beer selection. And one Saturday a month we tour a local (or not to distant) brewery or host a bottle share!
