EconBrew is a continuously growing list of PhD holding (or soon to be) economists (and economics-adjacent folks) in academic (and academic-adjacent) positions who would be happy to grab coffee with colleagues visiting their city.  Much in the spirit of #EconTwitter, the list is intended to open doors for informal communication and peer-to-peer research conversations. If you would like to be listed here as someone happy to grab coffee with a colleague, please sign up here.

Started in March 2020 by Panka Bencsik, EconBrew now has 400(!) economists from 45 US states and 40+ countries worldwide. While EconBrew was originally intended to offset some of the losses stemming from the global pandemic halting ways to connect with colleagues, positive feedback from EconBrew members has encouraged us to continue this initiative. Beyond personal meet ups, some of those who signed up are open to chatting with colleagues over Zoom, regardless of location. Everyone who is open to virtual meetings has a note with their entry below to indicate this.

If you're a PhD holding (or soon to be) academic economist (or economics-adjacent person), and would like to meet up in person (or virtually, where indicated) with someone from the list, simply click on their link and shoot them an email referencing EconBrew! That's how simple it is. (You do not need to be listed here to reach out to people.) If you end up meeting someone through this list, I encourage you to tag your tweets with the hashtag #EconBrew to spread the word to others.
