Celebrate the Year of the Snake with Coders, Creatives, and Craft Beer!

Tampa Bay’s “all conversations, no presentations” techie-and-creative meetup is back in 2025 with its first get-together on Wednesday, January 29 at 6:00 p.m. at Magnanimous Brewing Seminole Heights!

Wednesday, January 29th marks the start of the Year of the Snake! In Western cultures, the snake is often associated with evil and deception, but in Chinese and Chinese-adjacent cultures, the snake represents wisdom, charm, elegance, and transformation. And in nerd culture, we’ve got Python — as well as Solid Snake from Metal Gear, Viper from Marvel Comics, Slytherin House in Harry Potter, and so much more!

Before you ask why we’re not holding the meetup in a Chinese restaurant, think about it: THEY’LL BE FULL. So we’re celebrating at Magnanimous Brewing Seminole Heights, a great brew pub with the Sliceadelic personal pizza truck at its front door.

Coders, Creatives, and Craft Beer is just what it says on the label: a new regular gathering of coders and creatives over craft beer! We’re pretty flexible on the definition of “creative”, and it doesn’t matter if you express your creativity in the form of programs, prose, poetry, paint, pitch-bends, processor chips, or project management — if you create and like craft beer (and even if you don’t drink beer), this is the meetup for you!

Our motto is “all conversations, no presentations,” and no doubt we’ll be talking about all sorts of things, from plans for 2025 to the job market to AI to “Go or Rust?” to whatever you want to talk about. We have stories to tell, and we’ll bet you do, too. Join us, come chat, network, share ideas, and plot schemes!

Come to meet people, talk shop, share ideas, support a local business, and enjoy some beverages (with or without alcohol) and food! We’d love to see you there!
