Food, art, music and, of course, beer are all featured at Amorphic's second annual math nerd beer fest.
The event – which debuted last year – takes place at the brewery on March 11 and 14 and the return is part of the brewery's self-professed, "never ending quest to stay the most science-nerd-esque brewery in Milwaukee."
Here's what you can expect (in the words of Amorphic) ...
Saturday, March 11

From 5 to 9 p.m. Don Pastor food truck (which won last year's OnMilwaukee Taco Fest) will be outside slinging their award-winning Mexican cuisine.
New beer releases planned:
- Lagrange Points, 7.0% ABV, a gluten reduced West Coast IPA made with Michigan-grown Chinook hops.

On Saturdays, you can take the free shuttle between Riverwest's five breweries. More on that here.
