> Astronomy on Tap
> Astronomy on Tap is a nation-wide phenomenon where professional 
> astronomers give informal talks in local bars on a variety of scientific 
> topics followed by lots of discussion and interaction with the public. 
> Here in Los Angeles, we at Caltech are spearheading this effort in 
> collaboration with researchers from UCLA, Carnegie, The Planetary Society, 
> and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (operated by Caltech for NASA).
>
> We meet one Monday a month at Der Wolfskopf, a German beer bar in Old Town 
> Pasadena. Each event consists of two 10-15 minute talks on some aspect of 
> astronomy/astrophysics with broad appeal. In the intermission between 
> talks, the scientists present roam around the bar, interacting with 
> members of the public, and answering questions. Additionally, there is an 
> astronomy quiz ongoing throughout on the screens, with cool astrophysics 
> and NASA prizes for those interested. Our host bar, Der Wolfskopf offers 
> attendees special Astronomy on Tap happy hour prices on a variety of food 
> and drink items throughout our event.
