com Website Answers Q: What is Birds and Beers?
Birds and Beers is kind of like a book club in a bar. It’s an informal gathering of anyone interested in birds. If you have heard of birding and want to know more— B&B is for you. If you’re a hard core lister—it’s for you. If you’re someone just interested in birds—it’s for you. It’s a way for birders to get together, meet face to face, and share ideas. People can come and promote their birding event, field trip business, talk conservation—anything, so long as it’s friendly. It’s generally held once a month and has been at Merlin’s Rest in Minneapolis, but I’m always open to hosting it elsewhere (we once held it in conjunction with a bird blogger conference in Cape May, NJ!). Just send me an email with a suggestion. You can also start your own Birds and Beers, too. No one sponsors it and there are no rules, just pick a place where people can have a beverage and maybe some food and get the word out.
