FanGraphs is coming to Denver, and since few things are better than talking about baseball with your friends over a drink, we’ll be hosting a meetup while we’re in town. So come join us Friday, June 22 from 6 to 9 pm at the Wynkoop Brewing Company. We’ll have appetizers for everyone to enjoy. It’s a great chance to meet other baseball fans and chat with a bunch of your favorite FanGraphs writers. And while we won’t be attending the Rockies game that evening, Wynkoop is a convenient walk to the ballpark for those hoping to grab a drink before taking in Colorado’s 6:40 start against the Marlins.
If you plan on joining us, we would appreciate you RSVPing using this handy Google form so that we know how many snacks to order.
We hope to see you there!

Can we do this in Seattle??
I logged on to ask this exact question
How close is it to a dispensary? Asking for a friend.
Two blocks away.
^essentially true of any place in the city
What if I am under 21 and I want to attend this event?
Unfortunately, the event space at Wynkoop is 21+ after 6pm. We’re sorry to miss you.
Personally, I would go with the classic fake mustache/nose/glasses combo and reminisce fondly about the 80s.
I think one has to be a bit older than 21 to reminisce fondly about the 80s.
Anyone with a handle as good as Tulos Heavy Legs should be clever enough to sneak past security. Just sayin’. 🙂
My go to plan in my pre-21 years was to show up to said event space before attendance is restricted, and time a trip to the bathroom during the changeover.
a/s/l?
This is great. So fortunate to the Fangraph readers in Denver. Though not an Astros fan, coming to Houston, the place of champions would be great. We promise no flooding if you come.
Somebody needs to inform the Rockets & Texans that Houston is “the place of champions.”
Well, this is awfully exciting! (He says of the post that inspired him to finally get off his duff and become a member.)
I’m bringing my wiffle ball bat for the after party.
Is this something that we will see in more cities in the future? The whole Fangraphs crew together would be awesome to see if you were nearby.
Awwww yeah!
Wynkoop brewing co. eh, you folks have good taste in beer. Might attend
This is an awesome idea. I hope it happens in other places, like Florida.
Will there be a secret phrase to get in? If not, may I propose “Exit Velocity”?
Launch Angle!
[Checks calendar. Realizes that this is TODAY.]
Kiley mentioned that there would be equal discussion for all 30 teams. I’m just wondering when the Brewers portion will take place so that I don’t miss it. Thanks!
Is there a schedule for these happening in other cities? Would love one in NYC!
I’ll be closing a restaurant. Have fun, y’all. If anyone is still around on Sunday and wants to hit Jagged Mountain Brewing, I’ll be there.
Damn, now I have to get a fake ID to attend FangGraph meetups.
Hay! Can’t believe I just found out about this. So glad I’m way over 21. Save me some beer cheese and pretzels.
Just neighing.
