Beer Night has flourished throughout the entire millennium. Below appears a list of key dates, many of which have hyperlinks to further information.

You can skip ahead to 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, or the very latest Beer Night.

4 March 2000

The very first Beer Night, which at the time was dubbed "Beer Club."

15 April 2000

Did we really have "Beer Club" on the night our taxes were due? Apparently.

10 June 2000

This was the last Beer Night that appears in my calendar as "Beer Club."

15 July 2000

This Beer Night was hosted by Andy at their old apartment in Uptown.

21 October 2000

So it took us over three months to have Beer Night again? In this period Jon got engaged and married Ann. Might have something to do with it.

18 November 2000

Happy Thanksgiving, guys.

3 February 2001

When exactly did we start the Blindfold Taste Test? Did it take this long? Or was it a hoary tradition by now?

10 March 2001

Beer Night passes its first birthday (and was held on Jon's half-birthday, if you care).

28 April 2001

This one was hosted by Andy at their new place in Jefferson Park.

18 May 2001

Does this one count? It was held at Chief O'Neill's. Yeah, I think it counts.

23 June 2001

Ah, a refreshing beer on a hot summer night! (Truthfully, I don't remember if it was at all hot.)

1 September 2001

This is the first Beer Night after the registration of beernight.org. (I wish I could show you the pathetic first parking page, but I failed to archive it.)

15 December 2001 — Beer Night #13

What a shame that two and a half months pass without a Beer Night! We make up for it by officially counting how many Beer Nights there have been and by launching BeerNight.org email accounts. Also, we begin recording Blindfold Taste Test participants and taking photos.

Tonight we hear the first-ever comparison of beer to Mammoth Cave (courtesy of Dave C).

22 June 2002 — Beer Night #17

We had hoped to grill our own wings and drink under the stars, but it's brutally hot. Let's hear it for A/C.
