It's the beer talking.

To help you impress your friends next time you’re at the pub, or just to help you explore new ideas, Big Rock is happy to offer a series of lectures that tap into a wide range of topics. Each “semester” The Big Rock Grill hosts four different lectures. And while you're feeding your mind, leave room in your stomach for a gourmet spread.
