MMS 2016 Brewery Tour
Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.

Are you coming into town for MMS 2016 Sunday and are looking for something to do?  Let’s kick off MMS properly by visiting what some would consider to be the finest taproom in the world, Surly Brewing.  Besides the outstanding beer and world class food the actual space itself is just awesome.  This will be a good time.

  • For those who can make it we have a private brewery tour scheduled at 4pm.
  • There is a public tour at 5pm as well, but that is first come first serve and limited to 20 people.

After the tour we will settle in the taproom for some food, drink and wonderful conversation.  

For those wanting to make the 4pm tour, register for this session.  For those wanting the 5pm public tour, just get their early enough so that you're one of the 20 they let in.

Transportation options are Uber or Light Rail from MoA.

Light Rail:

  Blue Line to MPLS-Target Field
  2:43 PM depart from MOA Transit Station
  3:14 PM arrive at U.S. Bank Stadium Station

  Green Line to St. Paul-Union Depot
  3:20 PM depart from U.S. Bank Stadium Station
  3:29 PM arrive at Prospect Park Station

  Walk 0.38 miles NE to 520 MALCOLM AVE SE, MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55414 

This is to make the 4pm tour!  If you can't make it that early, no worries.  Take the train when you can or grab an Uber and meet us there.  This scenic train ride will take us right by the new Vikings stadium. It's huge.  For those wanting to make the 4pm tour, meet me at the train station located at the Mall of America!  Also, follow me on Twitter for updates, @FredBainbridge.

Bacon Curing 101 with Hector and Cletus from 2Pint
Limited Capacity seats available

Hey! Who knew that Phil 2Pint is a qualified butcher and bacon-curer par excellence!? In this fun session, there will be beers and bacon - what's not to like?

Bacon curing is actually pretty easy to get started, and the results can be amazing. We’ll start off by mixing beer and bacon. Can it get any better? Beercon anyone? We’ll show how you can start off by curing at home like a true moonshiner. We’ll also cover popular trends like “Bring yer own pig”, “PASS” (Pork as a Service) and "Mobile Pork Management" with third party pig parts.

MMS 2016 hAcKath0n Part 2 - Results!
You have a feeling that something you are doing can be done smarter, better, faster, easier. You have an idea about a tool you would love to see in any of the System Center products.  Well bring that idea and either Microsoft or Coretech will get a fix by the end of MMS.  That's right, you can get your change to CM made right at MMS.

The Microsoft devs ran a hackathon at the MVP Summit last year that was widely successful.  Many changes are already in CM now or will be soon.  Representatives of the team will be here at MMS to repeat that success.  And where a fix might just not fit CM itself, the Coretech team will make it happen.

You can assist us now by thinking up ideas and submit them here.

The best ideas chosen will win a Surface Pro 4!
