BuzzFeed Brews: Drink Beer, Listen Up

On Tuesday night at a Capitol Hill bar, BuzzFeed will make its first foray into the world of the newsmaker speakers series. Their first victim: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.). BuzzFeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith will swoop in from Manhattan to conduct the interview: Washington Bureau Chief John Stanton will emcee the event.

Most importantly, everyone will be offered beer. Hence the name of the event, “BuzzFeed Brews.”

Asked if he’ll be more of a Maury Povich, Oprah or Chris Christie style emcee, Stanton told FishbowlDC,  “Think Rakim meets ODB, but with better teeth.”
