Join us for this special sig-beer-west field trip. According to the
Small Brewers Fest website:
Within the 18,000 square foot big top tent will be the 40+ West
Coast microbreweries participating in this Beer Tasting Event,
offering more than 150 unique beers. Tasting kits, which include a
festival mug and eight tasting tokens, will be available for a $20

The first fourteen years has seen an outpouring of support from the

Normally, sig-beer-west festivities start at 6:00 pm. But this month,
festivities will start at 1:00 pm, and continue until ???. There is
music scheduled at the Festival as early as 11:00 am that day, so
anyone wanting to spend sometime at the festival before the start of

is schedule for 9:00 pm that day.
When you show up, you should look for some kind of home made
sig-beer-west sign. We will try to make it obvious who we are. :-)

before you forget!) sig-beer-west occurs on the third Saturday of

sig-beer-west FAQ
1. Q: Your announcement says "techies and their friends". How do I
know if I'm a techie, or a friend of one?

just have to be able to find the sig-beer-west sign at this
month's event. That's it. Simple, huh?

out, but not in drinking. Would I be welcome?
A: Absolutely! The point is to hang out with fun, interesting
folks. Please do join us.

travel time?
A: Usually, but the earlier you arrive, the better your chances of
finding a spot.
4. Q: I've been thinking about attending sig-beer-west for some time
now. Maybe I should start with this event?

______________________________________________________________________
sig-beer-west was started in February 2002 when a couple Washington,
D.C. based systems administrators who moved to the San Francisco Bay
area wanted to continue a [45]dc-sage tradition, sig-beer, which is
described in dc-sage web space as:
SIG-beer, as in "Special Interest Group - Beer" ala ACM, or as in
"send the BEER signal to that process".
The original SIG-beer gathering takes place in Washington DC,
usually on the first Saturday night of the month.
