Will Work For Beer

Drinking on This Job Is OK (WSJ sub req):

If drinking beer on the clock and traveling to Oktoberfest in Munich on the company dime sounds like a dream job, there are still nine days left to apply for the newly created post of chief beer officer at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel chain.

By yesterday, officials at Four Points's parent company, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc., had received more than 5,500 applications from beer lovers in 31 countries. In addition, scores of current Starwood employees have signaled their interest in the part-time job that comes with no salary, but plenty of perks. While the job is a largely promotional gimmick for the moment, Starwood says it could evolve into a more serious position down the road.

Now that would make for a great intro. What do I do for a living? Chief Beer Officer. Hard to top that.
