Some of you may remember our virtual tour of Primeval Brewing in 2021, and you may still be lamenting the fact that you couldn't enjoy some of that delicious beer and tasty Japanese snacks in-person. Well, we're happy to announce that now is your chance!



JETAA Chicago and our Indiana Subchapter will be hosting a get-together at Primeval Brewing in Noblesville, IN on June 17th, from 3-5 pm EST (2-4 pm CST), to catch up and network with our fellow alumni over craft beer, shared appetizers, and classic Japanese snacks. Tim Palmer, one of the owners and brewers of Primeval, will conduct a beer and snack pairing demonstration with a selection of some Primeval beers and a variety of otsumami (Japanese snacks that pair well with alcohol).


Please see Guestlist for details and to sign up.
