Craft Beer at Fieldwork Brewing Company

**Event title:** Craft Beer at Fieldwork Berkeley **Location:** Fieldwork Brewing Company 1160 Sixth Street Berkeley, CA 94710 **Time:** 2:00 -4:00 PM **Maximum attendance:** 15 people **Event description:** We had such a great time at our first Fieldwork gathering—and it got rave reviews—so we’re doing it again! I thought it would be fun to keep bringing the beer-loving people in our group together. I love craft beer, and I know there are others who enjoy a really good beer. Fieldwork makes some of the best, and it’s a great place to spend a relaxed afternoon together. We’ll be sitting **in the back under the beer barrels. You will see signs and balloons. We have 2 long tables.** Not a beer drinker? Fieldwork also offers **wine and mocktails**, so there are options for everyone. Come have a drink, meet some people, and enjoy a casual afternoon together at Fieldwork. 🍻 Since attendance is limited, **please update your RSVP if your plans change** so someone else can take your spot. We want to make sure everyone who wants to join us can.

Drink and Draw: [Insert theme/prompt here]

Just some convivial folks hanging out at a neighborhood pub with their skechbooks. You don't have to be an "artist," or whatever that means, to be here. Bringing art supplies is a great idea though! Hydration is encouraged! The Flying Pig sells soft drinks and other n/a options as well as beer and cider. 
We come up with a theme or prompt for each week. You're free to use it or ignore it. It's about inspiring to stray from the norm. Speaking of which, this week's theme/prompt is [TBA]

Coffee, Pups & New Friends

Hey loves! Join us for Coffee, Pups & New Friends around Lake Merritt. Dogs are the easiest icebreakers in the world, so we're making them the theme. Bring your pup (or borrow the excuse to meet everyone else's) and leave with a new friend. No dog? No problem, you're completely welcome. We meet at 10 AM at Motivat Coffee Roasters (formerly Slojoy), 1528 Webster St, near 19th St Oakland BART. Grab a coffee, then we walk the flat 3.4-mile loop around the lake together at an easy pace. Plan for about 2.5 hours, and anyone who wants to keep hanging out can join an optional brunch at Grand Lake Kitchen after. Dogs stay leashed, and bring water for both of you. Wear layers and come as you are. Getting there: Taking BART: Exit at 19th St. Oakland BART (dogs in carriers). Motivat Coffee Roasters (1528 Webster St, formerly Slojoy) is 2 blocks away. Driving and parking: Street meters on Webster and Harrison St are FREE on Sundays until 12:00 PM! Just snap a photo of your meter's ParkMobile zone number when you park at 10:00 AM so you can add time from your phone at noon ($3/hr) while we're out on the lake. For all-day lot parking, 1520 Harrison St is one block over. As always in Oakland, please leave zero bags or visible items in your car. See you and your furry plus-ones out there!

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/uAYeW8e993ZaoVscFCH1?utm_source=meetup&utm_content=a **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** Hey late-night rollers, Come feel the cool bay breeze and catch the rhythm of the Friday night skate beats along the Embarcadero with a fresh crew. Join me for an easygoing evening where we'll start with an hour of app-guided chats to meet some great people, and then form small groups to hit the pavement and grab some food. We'll spend the first part of the night jumping into quick one-on-one rounds. The Gist IRL app sets up the pairings for us, giving you a chance to easily chat with other active folks who love being out after the sun goes down. After we break the ice, we get to the best part. You'll choose the people you clicked with most, join the Friday night roll along the Embarcadero, and grab late-night pizza slices together. By the end of the night, you have a solid crew of 4-6 to cruise the waterfront with and split late-night pizza slices. Whether this bunch becomes your regular Friday night roll crew or it's just one incredibly fun evening under the city lights, you'll be glad you brought your gear. The Plan: - 7:30PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. - 7:35PM - 8:55PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. Find out who shares your late-night energy, favorite routes, and passion for moving after dark. - 8:55PM+: Form Groups & head down the Embarcadero together to catch the skate beats and grab late-night pizza slices. Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, and head down the Embarcadero together to catch the skate beats and grab late-night pizza slices — your group leaves together tonight. Instead of just adding random names to your phone, let's actually join the night roll and grab pizza tonight. You might just meet the exact right people for future night rolls and late-night food spots to explore together. And to make things totally seamless, you can use the app to message your new friends later on without ever having to trade phone numbers. I can't wait to hit the waterfront and catch some miles with you all tonight. A few favorite spots nearby: Joyride Pizza (Pier 1) - Steps away along the waterfront, this breezy outpost dishes out caramelized-edge Detroit square slices and local soft serve with prime bay views.
