Yes, everybody can play something... but do you know why? Can you take the melody / harmony apart? And put it back together again? I want to know more about rock, blues and metal music theory (scales, triads, the geometry of the fretboard, improvisation, etc.) and I'm willing to put the time in. Looking for a few good men and women who want to learn something or contribute something to their fellow musicians. Everyone walks away with something new. Everyone walks away happy... maybe eve …

This group is for those beer lovers who want to go beyond just drinking beer, but creating beer. A meetup to share recipes, techniques, but most of all homebrewed beer. Whether you are a wheat beer lover or a Irish stout drinker, this group welcomes all those who want to dabble in homebrewing.

This is a great chance for all beer lovers, home brewers, and meade fans to meet on a weekly basis with the luxury of having Cork & Fork Wine and Beer store as the venue! The best way to learn is to experience, and with beer, the best way to experience is to taste. Every week we will go through new beers, try different styles, chat about what we like and don't like, and generally talk about beer and beer related products. Check out our blog! http://corkandforknews.blogspot.com/

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'm starting this group because I would like to meet up with a group of good peeps on a regular basis to discuss the issues of the day like health care reform, recycling (just kidding), the bailouts, guns and gun policy, hunting, VA politics, and the answers to questions like, "Why are we here?" over massive quantities of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Guinness:) Actually, just kidding. I don't personally want to get hammered, but a beer or two over some good political and philosophical discussion w …

This group is for people who would rather entertain in their own home than go out to a restaurant for fun.  If you don't have the room for entertaining then that's ok but you need to be willing to contribute food and drink on a regular basis when other members hold events in their homes.  The idea is for someone to host a get together (dinner party, wine tasting, movie night, barbecue, whatever) and determine a "theme". The host(ess) generally  provides the main dish and the others bring theme o …
