No, not here at Hail the Ale! (unless you like to work for free, pay for your own drinks, and look good blogging–if so, we should talk) but working for the Chief Beer Officer at Four Points Sheraton.

WHITE PLAINS, NY - March 26, 2008 - Corporate America was changed forever a year ago when Four Points by Sheraton appointed the world’s first-ever Chief Beer Officer (CBO), Scott Kerkmans. After a year in office the resident CBO has realized that a dream job can come with a nightmare work load. Scott is seeking a little sudsy help by kicking off a world wide search for a Best Brews Summer intern. The lucky lad or lass will assist the CBO with his Best Brews duties including beer tasting, trend research and brewery relations.

As part of his undertaking the resident CBO is seeking a yeasty soul over the age of 21 with a love for lager and a thirst for industry knowledge. “I am excited to share my knowledge and experiences with someone who is as passionate about the brewing community as I am” said Kerkmans. The search for the Best Brews Summer Intern will kick off on March 26th with ads in the Wall Street Journal and a number of intern job boards like MonsterTrak and craigslist. This isn’t your frat brother’s job though,  the internship will come with the frothy perks of tasting and toasting, but will also include learning the inner workings of the Four Points by Sheraton Best Brews program and the ever expanding craft beer industry and beer business. Like all executive internships, this position will start pouring in June and tap out in August.

What do beer, mermaids and fishing lures have in common? Everything. Just ask Lakemaid Beer. The site is a creation of August Schell Brewing Company who brews the beer and Rapala Lures who provides the lures to land the Lakemaidens.

Don’t go to Bennigan’s. That’s lame. Almost as lame as drinking green beer. Instead, go to Orlando Brewing (it was much more colorful in the announcement email but I’m too lazy to reformat):
