November vBeer

Join your fellow vmuggers for a night out with Rochester VMUG and Splunk. The November vBeer social event will be held on November 17th from 5:30 pm - until we go home at the Roc Brewing Co. We will be touring the brewery and drinking some great local beers. 

Roc Brewing Co., LLC in 2011 was one of the first brewery to hit the growing Rochester brewing scene and in June of 2016 celebrated its five year anniversary. Roc's ferociously loyal following of drinkers led it to begin canning its beers in 2015, achieving distribution throughout Rochester and Western New York. The brewery's journey started in 2011, the product of Rochester Institute of Technology classmates Jon Mervine and Chris Spinelli. They began homebrewing together before finally going all in on a brewery. The duo were accepted into Samuel Adams' Brewing the American Dream program. It was not only an opportunity to learn from the nation's pioneering craft brewery and receive coaching from owner Jim Koch, but provided the duo a loan to launch Roc Brewing. 

A big thank you to our sponsor Splunk! Splunk offers the leading platform for Operational Intelligence.

We had an awesome time. Roc City Brew has great beer and food. We have a great turnout and enjoyed some great swag from VMUG and Splunk.
