Ping: Peter C.

Hey Peter. I saw your quote in Velonews. How many bottles/sixes/
cases of beer do you figure get dropped on your shop in a year? I
think Ryan may be thinking of a change in occupation.

Perhaps. The thing to contemplate when thinking of perks, is whether the
value of the gifts is more or less than the difference in salaries.

Drunker where I am, I suspect,

What?! A rationale basis predicated on money? What sort of drunk are
you? You should be ashamed to bend your elbow. It's FREE beer,
dagnabit!

The beer is free, but I get discounted.

Also, the current roll call of stockpiled beer goes geuze, Tripel
Karmeliet, chocolate stout, Fuller's 2009 Christmas Ale, Unibroue 17, St
Louis Kriek, and I think I forgot one or two.

Well...not really what I actually said BUT we seem to always have a
full fridge. Mostly PBR, some Mickey's and Fosters(sorry, decent,
cheap beer is not a bad thing). A multitude of sixers(sometimes a
fiver or four-er) of a variety of local and Euro microbrews. Seem to
always have Mexicano(Tecate being the most common) but I'd say we get
50-60 cases per year.

We think we do good work and get tips for same or for favors. We don't
really respond to 'do it now' type beer bribes but we mostly will fit
it in at the end of the day, which seems to always be a very busy day
(even now after the snow has started to fly).

If it's a small job and 'please can ya look at it now', we do that
most of the time.

I think I should emphasis tho that we don't 'work for beer'. We don't
do anything to be paid in suds. They are tips or perhaps bribes but we
charge a fair amount, which nobody seems to complain about, then get a
tip for work well done. All 3 of us, BTW, Jim, Sean and I.

I tend to only drink Sierra Nevada because they sponsored a team for a
couple of years. If another brewer sponsors a team I'll switch to them.

Geeezzzz, I wouldn't ever drink Coors, and I'm not very picky. A team
sponsored by PBR, that would be nice!
