CRAFT GEAR: Geek out on the technology behind the brews at the Tech's Geektoberfest.

If the recent influx of taprooms opening all over Silicon Valley proves anything, it’s that hackers love beer just as much as anyone, and that many of them have taken a scientific approach to their sudsing. Enter Geektoberfest, wherein The Tech Interactive aims to put beer under the microscope. The event features tastings from a wide range of local and regional craft breweries. The twist is that your brew comes with demos and experiments on the biology of beer making. There’s also live music and even a little wine. Tickets are $25 for members.
