Do you work at a startup? Do you own a startup? Do you have an idea for a startup? Do you like beer?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should make sure to come to the August round of Birmingham Startup Drinks, happening at Cahaba Brewing this coming Tuesday.

A collaborative project of TechBirmigham along with Tony Summerville of Fleetio, the event is a casual gathering of startup-types from the Birmingham metro area.

Birmingham Startup Drinks was originally started by Jonathan Sides, former CFO of Daxko, and has been going for around three and a half years.

Startup Drinks is actually a worldwide, grassroots event that happens in a lot of major cities. Unlike a lot of other networking events, there is no speaker or set order of events.

"There's no agenda other than getting like-minded people together to talk about things that interest them" Said Tony Summerville, one of the main organizers of Birmingham Startup Drinks.

The event is all about making connections you might not otherwise make in the workplace or a conference. Summerville even told me a personal story tied to the event, "It can be pretty impactful. That's where I met Matt (Chapman, Director of Business Development at Fleetio)."

Come meet your own Matt Chapman next week! I know I'll be there.

Birmingham Startup Drinks is at Cahaba Brewing from 5:30 to 7:30 on Tuesday the 22nd of August.

You can read more about the event on the Startup Drinks Website or Facebook.
