Beer Master & Social Personality
Q1 2023
THE PERFECT APPLICANT
God. Family. Patriotism. Idaho. History. …. And BEER. These words resonate with you. You know how it began, you know how it developed, and you know its deep story locally, here in Idaho. You want to meet every maker, crack every kind, and dive into all the folktale. You’re a social media magnate. Beer means social and social means beer. Just like the ale, your way with wit intoxicates your audience. Your personality naturally garners attention. Cleverness can’t escape you. Meeting people is fun. Interviewing them on camera is a hoot. You’re a beer connoisseur ready to dig into story, and taste all the local and regional lagers, stouts, ales, whites, ambers, reds, browns, barley wines, and porters. You can serve beer too. And when you do, you meet the beer drinker where she’s at. You’d never respond with your labyrinth of boring beer jargon to someone who just wants some sick suds. But, when she wants to challenge you with “encounters of chocolate and hints of huckleberry” you’re ready to respond with a story of about Lincoln’s first lager you have in your back pocket for just this occasion. If shooting and editing videos and photos aren’t your thing, don’t you worry…. we have people for that, personality reigns supreme for this role. It’s time to take your food and beverage career to the next level and with a team grow an audience of like-minded beer bootlickers at Old State Saloon as our new Beer Master.
