Cider fans! Come by next Thursday (11/13) for a Greenwood Cider tap takeover!

We've long been known as a brewery that takes cider seriously, with 5 dedicated taps. But now we're going to give all the taps to one cidery! Co-founder Marshall will be there to help us taste through them.
A poster with a bunch of apples on it, and the text: Greenwood Cider tap takeover at BGBC! Greenwood Cider co-founder Marchall Petryni will tell us about his ciders and take us on a guided tasting! Thursday, November 13th, 630 - 830 PM. $18 gets you a flight of five Greenwood Ciders (or just have a pint of your fave!) Also on the poster is Greenwood Cider co.'s logo, which is a log with growth rings, colored dark green.

Mark your calendars for the next Smarty Pints - November 17th!

Gonna talk about How Grasses Took Over the World and How Clouds Control Our Climate.

Should be fascinating! (And there's beer!)
🌾 Caroline Strömberg Professor in UW Biology & Curator of Paleobotany at the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture How grasses took over the world Grasses are all around us, whether in the form of lawns, golf courses, wheat fields or the contents of your popcorn bag. Yet few people think of grasses as an evolutionarily extremely successful group, or wonder how they came to be so ubiquitous in less than ~30 million years. This talk will explore what we know about the evolutionary history of grasses and grassland ecosystems and how it related to climate change and animal evolution.  ☁️ Aakash Manapat Graduate student, UW Atmospheric and Climate Science How clouds control our climate Clouds are ubiquitous features of Earth's weather. However, their mundaneness hides a surprising level of complexity. Join me to learn about why scientists still struggle to understand clouds, and why clouds represent a major uncertainty when trying to understand climate change.

Smarty Pints is tonight! Come on out and drink some great beer and learn interesting stuff! A joint event with @standupforscience.bsky.social and @sufsseattle.bsky.social!
🐳 Briana Abrahms, Assistant professor, UW Department of Biology Center for Ecosystem Sentinels Where the Wild Things Go What do large carnivores in Africa and whales in the Pacific Ocean have in common? They both roam across vast distances and inhabit environments that are rapidly changing because of people. In this talk, we'll learn about how wildlife scientists track where these wild things go and study how they are coping with our changing planet. Lastly, we'll talk about how we use this information to support wildlife conservation. 🖊️ Sally James, medical and science journalist How news about science gets made (mangled) The journey from a discovery in a lab to a headline is fraught with danger. Confusion, exaggeration and misunderstanding lurk on the path. Let me explain and help you spot these problems or explain to your community.

The presidential budget request includes massive funding cuts for scientific research. And we're big fans of research around here. So Monday, June 9th - we are hosting five local researchers for a panel discussion on how recent federal actions are changing the landscape for science & research.
A poster with a blue and purple background that reads: BONUS Smarty Pints Monday, June 9, 630PM Burke-Gilman Brewing WHAT'S UP WITH RESEARCH FUNDING? A panel discussion with five researchers in our community whose work is supported by federal grants. What do budget cuts cut? What the heck are indirect costs? Why does this matter?

We’re doing Kölsch service tonight!
Frühlingsfest has been a blast so far - we’ve enjoyed a crazy variety of lagers, we tried our hand at hoisting very heavy steins of beer! For the last day of this year’s fest, we’re going a bit in the opposite direction - small glasses! We’re going to try out our best attempt at Kölsch service tonight. In Köln (Cologne), you don’t order beers, they are brought to you. You find a seat and you get a cute little 200ml glass called a Stange. As long as you keep draining them, your Kobes (waiter) will keep putting full ones in front you. They’ll put a mark on your coaster to indicate how many you’ve bought. When you’ve had enough, you put the coaster on top of your glass, to indicate you’re all done. What we’ll do is sell you a glass plus a fill for $10, then subsequent fills are $4. There is a twist - Kölsch is the only beer you can get in Köln. So, that’s all we’re serving tonight, from 5-8. You hopheads will need to either get in early for happy hour, or head to one of our other lovely neighborhood breweries. Or, better yet, branch out and try this style you might not normally order. :) The rules say you can only call your beer a Kölsch if it’s brewed in sight of the Kölner Dom cathedral in Köln. So, on his last trip there, Eric brought home a miniature version, which we have strapped to a pole overlooking our brew deck.

Having fun listening to Engage Science, the rapid science pitch night! 2-3 minute pitches from young scientists about their science (also yummy beer. Don’t forget the beer, a key ingredient in science!)

(Also, watch out for Smarty Pints, our monthly longer form science talks!)
