What they do in museum basements...

Because you can be a geek about more than one thing at a time.  And beer makes everything better.

A Night at the Museum With Beer and Skulls https://nyti.ms/2UPNTtI

I like it.  I think the work-related beer discussion outside of work hours also gives you the advantage that you don’t necessarily need to come up with an answer for what’s being discussed.  So that can leave discussion free to explore rather than looking for a solution.

Good article.  I’ll have to check out their books.

That was a cool read, although from the title I was hoping more it was a beer festival type thing where you got to explore the museum.  OMSI here in Portland does a monthly thing called OMSI After Dark where you can roam the museum with a drink in your hand and no kids, although there’s not a whole lot to do since it is mostly a kids museum, but it’s still kinda fun.
