If the recent influx of taprooms opening up 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 Museum aims to put beer under the microscope. The event features tastings from a wide range of local and regional craft breweries. The twist is your brew comes with demos and experiments on the biology of beer making. There’s also live music from a German-Swiss accordion band called Zicke-Zacke. Nothing makes craft brew taste better than polka.
