Naked City/Georgetown Brewers Night

I went out to the Georgetown Brewers Night at Naked City last night. I wrote a few months back about Naked City and am liking the place more and more. Just like any bar, you can't force character and Naked City is no different. It seemed very plain the first time I went there and have since gotten a lot of cool things to put up on the wall to give it some character. The staff is very knowledgeable and they put on some good events, like last night.

Being the brewers night, the brewers were out at the bar and they brought along a cask conditioned version of their 9 lb Porter, good stuff. I really like what Georgetown does with there beers and more so their marketing. Everything is very simple, cool and modern which I think helps them tap into the giant market that is the casual beer drinkers. I will write a post about my thoughts about the brewery some other time, maybe I will pay them another visit. This is about the brewers night, which was pretty casual, they raffled off schwag and provided a place to talk with the people in the industry. I didn't get to talk to the brewer or owners as much as I would have liked, but did talk a little. I hate being the douche that tries to be all buddy buddy with people at events like this, you know they are out there. I also wasn't about to solicit a job while they are hanging with their friends, I know they aren't hiring, but met the guys and they know I went to Siebel. Its never bad making connections in the industry you are in even if it isn't an immediate payoff. Scored some pint glasses (probably the last thing I need more of) and did a lot of thinking about tap handle design (post to come). In the end it was a good event and I look forward to being on the other side of a brewers night.
