If you’re on the fence about coming to #BASHH this coming Thursday? That’s weird. Well, whatever. If you’re one of the two people still unsure about coming, here are the top five reasons you should come to #BASHH this Thursday:

There will be booze. Not just a booze, but many boozes – 72 beers on tap, liquor out the wazoo, and even wine.

We have been told that Chuck Norris’ cousin’s best friend’s neighbor will be in attendance. Not sure if that’s true, but that’s pretty cool.

No cats will be allowed in the building, so if you have cat allergies or are just a bad person, you’ll rejoice in this fact.

We’re betting that at least one bar tender will be wearing a bow tie, suspenders, or both.

We kick out the spammers. If someone comes in with Nikes in hand, trying to sell you a sweet pair, or someone’s overly obnoxious with their business card, shoving them in your face so aggressively you get paper cuts, we ask them to leave – that’s not the BASHH style. Casual networking is best done when we all connect over a beer, not a smarmy recited sales pitch.

And now, we ask something of you…

This event is free and brought to you by some amazing folks, so if you click right here, it will automatically generate the following message (you have to approve first, of course) so you don’t have to type things (typing is hard):

Thanks @ConstantContact for keeping #BASHH free, and thanks @72Beers for being an awesome venue for all of us!

Thanks, and we’ll see you at Brew Exchange this week!

When is BASHH coming back after coming back last time?

We’ve had an odd history with scheduling BASHH in recent years. For those following, you know we took a lot of heat cancelling events back in January 2020 when the world was still open, but we were opting to be abundantly cautious.

We got a lot of hate mail and were accused of overreacting and most people hadn’t really heard of the pandemic.

Fast forward to 2021, and case numbers started to improve in Travis County in the fall, and we started the ol’ BASHH machine back up.

In January of 2022, we nixed events again as Travis County entered Stage 5 (the highest stage of caution to date).

Now, as we get back to Stage 4, where we were when events renewed last fall, we are finalizing plans for our March event, which will be post-SXSW.

Another question we get about timing is regarding our being the unofficial kickoff to SXSW, but we no longer do that because the events have spread out to a week before and a week after. When we had the massive event, it was when no other events existed to welcome people to town that arrived a day early.

So to answer many of your questions: No, we’re not booking a pre-SX event, and yes, we’re trying to see you in March, we miss you too.

Stay tuned for the next date, we hope to announce soon!

In January of 2020, COVID wasn’t yet considered a pandemic, and we cancelled BASHH. We got a LOT of hate mail about it. We were accused of overreacting. The rest is history.

We’ve gotten a lot of feedback from y’all and we hear you loud and clear – you want BASHH back.

We’ll follow whatever the current requirements are at the time, and if things get to wild, we’ll cancel, but as it stands now, we’re ready to rock and roll.

This last year or so has been extremely difficult – we’ve all lost people we care about, we have all had to adjust our lives, and while online is amazing, there’s still something about kicking back with a drink and some fellow nerds.

To mark a new era, we’re trading in the posh downtown venues for the more laid back brewery environment. Our foray back into the offline world will be at Austin Beerworks (which y’all have NO idea how pumped we are about that, we’re huge fans)! We hosted there in August and it was very chill, just perfect for our bunch.

There will be FREE PARKING. That’ll be nice.

There will be a FOOD TRUCK. That’ll be nice.

There will be BEER. That’ll be nice.

If you have questions, we invite them any time. And we’ll see you in August!
