> almost all the discussions revolved around different types of alcohol - taste, brewing techniques, etc. Needless to say, I had zero opinion on this topic and it barred me from engaging in most discussions. Where was this? As much as I'd love to discuss brewing techniques with my colleagues in tech, most don't have the slightest interest in it (most people who drink, don't), and I'm very surprised it was the dominant topic of conversation at a conference—to the point where I'm nearly convinced it never happened or the author is highly exaggerating the matter.
