I wanted to announce that the first meeting of Portand Open Beer Club will be Thursday, tomorrow night, at Bailey's Taproom in downtown Portland at 5pm.

Portland Open Beer Club is the same format as Portland Open Coffee Club. People interested in web, tech, or startups get together for a laid-back, agenda-free gathering, so that entrepreneurs and developers can chat, network, and grow. The main differences with Portland Open Beer Club is that:

1. It's Beer instead of Coffee
2. It at 5pm instead of 10am

Feel free to swing by, have a pint, & say hello! Of course, you don't have to drink anything to attend, and Bailey's has a number of other beverages and small plates available. We'll also probably be having Mexican food delivered there, in case anyone's in the mood for dinner.
