To ramp up the holiday party season, we are joining the 20s and 30s Group for their happy hour at Lotus Lounge on K. Street. Proceeds from the event will go to benefit the Yellow Ribbon Fund, a non-profit organization providing volunteer services to injured service members and to their families.

You can find more details about the event on the 20s and 30s Meetup site:

Hallo,

Wir treffen uns diesen Monat wieder NACHMITTAGS in den Klassenräumen unten.

Das Thema für diesen Meetup wird die EU: Kulturelle und Sprachliche Veränderungen und Annäherungen. Ist der Einfluß der EU und der Zusammenfluß aller verschiedenen Sprachen und Kulturen positiv für die Entwicklung der Menschen und einzelnen Länder in Europa oder geht dabei zuviel an eigener Geschichte, Kultur und Sprache verloren?

Hier ein paar Artikel zur Anregung:

Bringt Euch einen Kaffee oder Tee mit. Ich bringe etwas Weihnachtsgebäck, dann können wir diskutieren und ein klein bischen Adventszeit feiern!

Bis dann!

It's been awhile since we have been at Reef in AM, and probably the last official event for the year.

m will be there having a few beers w/ our new buddy Marion ( who is leaving to go back to Berlin on Friday)

Go all the way to the top of the stairs, we'll be on the outdoor deck !!!

And, i am sure some bin Lattes will be consumed as well :)

For the December meetup we have a new location, namely Churchkey, upstairs from Birch & Barley on 1337 14th Street.

Having recently opened at the end of October, Churchkey has caused quite a stir amongst D.C.'s beer aficionados. ChurchKey serves over 550 beers representing over 100 styles and 30 countries. 50 beers will be on tap, half of which will be American, and 30 of which will rotate out weekly. ChurchKey will also feature something described as "five authentic hand pumped cask conditioned ales representing rare English and other international styles."

While Churchkey is fairly packed these days due to all of the "new venue buzz," we have been assured by fellow German meetup member Drew, who is on the management team, that people there for the meetup will not have to wait if there is a line outside.

Hope to see you there!

We have been invited again to hang w/ our Biersch friends for the tapping of their new WinterBock.

Note:
These tapping parties are very similar to a typical German beer festival: loud, alot of beer, loud, more beer, dancing, alot of people, again more beer.

Not a good place for idle chit chat or discussions about the meaning of life. (Stammtisch is better for that).

I have to limit it to 15 dedicated knowledgeable experienced souls because it will be very crowded & not for the faint of heart.

If you are not in the 15, and really really want to be there, please rsvp No & incl. a message expressing your interest.


Again, this event is not an event for those who are not planning to drink any beer and/or have no experience at German beer festivals.

Zum Wohl!

For the November meetup we are back at the Brickskeller Saloon for our traditional monthly Stammtisch. We must have had about 50 people at last month's event, so maybe we can surpass that.

Hope to see you there!
