Beerology & The Brewers Invitationalare two of my favorite events of the year. The local breweries seem to save their special beers and on-offs for these two events in the beginning of the new year.Beerology is a fundraiser for the Buffalo Museum of Science featuring local and regional craft beer after normal museum hours. My wife, kids, and I love the museum, we're there multiple times a month and even more in the summer, so the first time I went to Beerology it was somewhat surreal to see grown adults, in various levels of inebriation, enjoying the exhibits. It's the kind of event that bring beer-snobs, casual craft-beer lovers, and the Labatt drinkers out in equal force. The local brewers generally bring a seasonal or one-off beer, and the local homebrew clubs set up experiments to test out brewing myths or to explore ingredients in a deeper way.This year, I'm bringing interviews with the local clubs to describe their experiments.The second half of the episode is from New York Beer Project for the BNBA
