Last night, a bunch of local SEO and affiliate marketers got together at the Steamworks Brewing Company at the edge of Gastown for a little get together. Steamworks gets its name from the famous Gastown steam line that runs through the premises.

Trying Steamworks brewed beer with a bunch of crazy affiliate marketers is nice but the place is also a nice restaurant that serves an assortment of burgers and west coast cuisine. Among some of the attendees were Greg Morgan, Stephen Fung, Ian Lee from Affiliate Marketers Alliance, Gilbert Jason Bailey from Millnic Media and Billy Solaczek.
