Join St. Louis Creatives for a Beer (or Two)
It’s no secret that the creative industries are a little competitive – maybe even more than a little. Good thing there’s nothing wrong with a little friendly competition. But we’ve always stood by the fact that “most creatives hate each other…until they don’t” – because it’s true.
Luckily, meeting like-minded people over a few beers breaks down our competitive walls and we can start to appreciate our creative community as a whole. That’s why we love hosting and going to as many events as possible. Tonight, there are two great events going on that you should go to: Creative Happy Hour Crappy Hour and Kegs With Legs 8.
This brain-child of a couple of our friends, Logan Alexander and Matt Ström, is celebrating its second year – this time, as an official part of STL DesignWeek. Every Wednesday at 6, creatives grab beer and snacks from Urban Chestnut, 3229 Washington Avenue, to spend a few not-so-crappy hours together. Don’t worry, it’s open to everyone in the industry, not just designers, writers and developers. And if you’re planning on coming, tweet with the #CrappyHour hashtag so everyone will know that you’ll be there.
The fine folks at Almanac are hosting the next installment of The St. Louis Egotist’s traveling keg party. At 6:30, head over to Almanac, 719 N. 17th Street #120, for free beer from Alpha Brewing and Schlafly – along with beer-infused donuts from Strange Donuts. Yes, beer-infused donuts.
As a guarantee, both of these events will have beer, food and plenty of creative St. Louisans. And in reality, there’s no reason you can’t spend a little time at both, Urban Chestnut and Almanac are about five minutes away from each other. Hope to see you at at least one of these events.
