''If you do not check bags or otherwise cannot arrange to bring beer from where you call home, you may be interested in buying beer from a local beer store. See the "Buying Beer in Seattle" section below for suggestions.''== How this works ==
__TOC__The Craft Brew Drinkup will span multiple rooms this year, since the hospitality suite is not large enough to hold all of us. The main Drinkup room is 1001 (10th floor, Renaissance Hotel) -- '''go there first!''' Room 1001 will function as our bar, which has very limited seating and will handle a steady stream of code4libbers. We will collectively make sure 1001 does not become overcrowded; you can help by keeping lanes free for folks to filter in and out. We will be directing folks to other rooms ''as needed''. These rooms will be posted on a sign in 1001. All of these rooms, the hospitality suite (Room 525 notwithstanding), have been generously volunteered by fellow code4libbers; please respect their space, as they'll have to sleep there soon after the drinkup ends! == If you have beer... == ...bring it directly to room 1001 any time after 9PM and we'll make sure it is refrigerated, served, and otherwise handled with care and love. == What to bring == Please '''bring one or more drinking vessels''' ("glasses"). Or, if a kind soul wishes to contribute to the event otherwise, one might procure a couple stacks of disposable plastic cups. This would be most excellent. If you can do this, let us know! It will save folks from having to bring their own glasses. == Protocol == * Do what you can to keep our collective noise level below a quiet roar. We do not want to offend, alarm, or annoy other guests of the hotel or put our conference hosts in an awkward spot* Respect the space that you're in, and clean up after yourself* Try not to crowd the hallway around Room 1001. If a crowd begins to gather, please keep the volume down.* When in Room 1001, leave sufficient space for people to walk to and from the bar. Space in 1001 is ''very limited''* This is an unofficial event organized by attendees of Code4lib 2012.* All guests at the Drinkup must be 21 years of age or over with a [http://www.cherylslastcall.com/pdfs/Acceptable-ID-Forms.pdf valid form of ID].* Any participation in the Drinkup is at your own risk.* All guests are expected to drink responsibly and behave appropriately.

If you're flying to Code4lib, you will have to consider how to bring your beer. Some attendees in past years have packed beer in their checked luggage, and others have purchased a beer shipper that was checked separately as luggage. In any event, '''you will not be able to bring beer in carryon luggage.'''
