Join us for our 3rd "Let's Create New Media in Chicago!" party!!

Come be part of an actual new media taping and participate in a live interactive audience for the Chicago based Hop Cast beer podcast! And you're going to help us TASTE SOME BEER!


What's all the hubbub?

Brad Chmielewski and Ken Hunnemeder are the hosts of Hop Cast, a Chicago based video podcast dedicated to their love of craft beer.  In each episode, Brad and Ken taste different beers and share their knowledge of brewing process, ingredients, packaging with viewers.

Chicago has a ton of creative energy and people creating great podcasts, video series, and more! We want to bring everyone together to network and have some fun!  This isn't about watching panels and taking notes; this is about doing!


So we're just tasting beer?

THAT AND NETWORKING! We're going to be filming a live episode of Hop Cast, and you are going to be the interactive audience! Brad and Ken are going to taste the beer of our sponsors with you and chat about what they like and don't like about the beer.  You'll leave knowing how to taste beer like the pros!

You'll also be able to mingle with and learn from new media producers and other creative people! Our goal is to help you connect with those you may not have connected with yet, in a fun, interactive environment.

There will be a cash bar with $2.50 domestic specials and the kitchen will be open if you wish to buy some delicious Blue Frog grub!  Food special for the night is $2 grilled cheese and fries.


Look at the fun we've had in the past!

Why should I care?

Because new media can be a great tool for small businesses, entrepenuers, agency folks, and creative people alike!  And it's fun to create!  We want new media folks to meet new audiences and create new opportunities for themselves and others.


Who's coming to this shin-dig?

  • small business owners
  • entrepeneurs
  • new media content creators
  • ad agency folks
  • local traditional media folks
  • local actors/talent
  • local production crew (grips, sound folks, etc.)

Sponsors:

Blue Frog Bar & Grill

Known for its popular karaoke nights (Tuesday through Saturday), Blue Frog also serves up plenty of burgers, free bingo on Mondays and specialty cocktails such as the Blue Frog and the Pink Pig, both fruity spins on Long Island iced tea. A few house wines and two dozen or so bottled beers are also available. If getting behind the microphone isn't your thing, get competitive with classic kiddie board games such as KerPlunk, Operation and Chutes and Ladders. 

Metropolitan Brewery

Craft beer drinkers are caught up in a delicious whirlwind of flavors, aromas, and raise-the-bar-push-the-envelope beer styles offered by American craft brewers. We at Metropolitan would like to invite a little balance to the party. The smooth, mellow flavors and dry finish of German lagers are the foundation of Metropolitan's beers. Of course, we can't help but twist things up in our own way.
