[CentralOH] Brainstorming session from January Meeting

[Alex Finnarn]

I heard about this AI/Python brewery last week, and I had to go check it
out: https://www.speciesxbeer.com/ The bartender told me they want to have
tech events there but are still setting up. Only been open a few weeks at
this point. Of the two AI-generated beer recipes I had, one was decent and
the other one was...interesting.

They have many of the things mentioned below for the weekly dojo, and I
think worth a shot for any Python enthusiasts who enjoy beer. Parking might
be an issue, but the bartender told me there were free spots somewheres.
You can email info at speciesxbeer.com if you are curious and have more
questions.
