# Now on tap: Portland Startup Drinks

[![Portland Startup Drinks: Not that they are going to be drinking beer out of a can mind you](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/startup-drinks.gif?w=925)](http://portland.startupdrinks.com "Portland Startup Drinks: Not that they are going to be drinking beer out of a can mind you")Just saw that [Portland has launched its own chapter of Startup Drinks](http://portland.startupdrinks.com/2008/04/17/hello-world/ "Portland Startup Drinks").

What’s [Startup Drinks](http://startupdrinks.com/ "Startup Drinks"), you ask? Well, it’s another startup idea from the same folks who brought us—or more accurately [will be bringing us](http://startupweekend.com/portland-startup-weekend/ "Portland Startup Weekend")—[Startup Weekend](http://startupweekend.com "Startup Weekend").

> A simple concept: startup culture in cities around the world gathers around a bar to have a pint and discuss what they are working on, what they need help with and what they can do for each other.

Pints and startups? I, honestly, can’t think of anything more Portland than that. Well, okay, maybe [Beer and Blog](http://beerandblog.com "Beer and Blog").

Here’s hoping that Portland Startup Drinks will add their get-togethers to [Upcoming](http://upcoming.yahoo.com "Upcoming") so we can track them in the [Silicon Florist Upcoming group](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/4070/ "Silicon Florist on Upcoming").

Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
