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 …

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 …

Introduction: Our founder decided to start this group because she enjoyed wine and want to get to know other people in their 20s & 30s that like wine too.  It worked!  Since getting started in April 2010, we have attended 250 tastings, wineries, dinners, festivals, happy hours, parties, and almost any other idea, as long as it somehow involves wine, with many more planned!

30's in NoVa: A social group for professional, fun thirty-somethings in the Northern Virginia suburbs.

Join us for activities including happy hours, hiking, concerts, local festivals, wine tastings, craft beer & brewery tours, dining out, outdoor activities, and whatever else we can think of tha …

This is a group dedicated to all things pizza, from its history, to cooking, to sampling some of the best pies in the local area and beyond. It is also a support group for those with a compulsion towards the greatest food ever tossed. Discussion of fast food and frozen pizza is allowed but not necessarily eaten. No, we are focused on pizza as art with the motto that if tastes good, it is good. An overriding obsession is to find a really good New York style pizza in the DC area while sampling all …

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/

A forum just for area mead makers to discuss techniques, tastes, and the joy of the art. Sub-categories of mead are fair game, eg, melomels, metheglin, cyser, braggot, etc. However, traditional wine making and homebrewing discussions are generally excluded. They have enough help already!

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 …

Are you a tech geek? How about an artsy geek, food geek, music geek, or theater geek? Good ol’ fashioned regular geek? Do you find yourself looking up Wikipedia articles for entertainment instead of as a quick way to shut down an interminable argument between two people? Do you fall deep within the complex banter of Cracked.com writers or ponder the wisdom of those behind XKCD and Rage Comics? Would you rather play video games from your (insert console or PC type), watch silly cartoons or movies …
