My senior always jokes about opening a food truck. One day they're gonna push us hard enough that we'll do it, too.
The difference between IT and important jobs, is that I get to drink on the clock in IT. In fact it's mandated.
At my old job, the IT department had a kombucha tap right at the end of their counter. I always wondered if they considered swapping the kombucha keg out for something stronger.
My first tech job had a beer fridge and a guy who filled it that we all called the Beer Captain.
I swear I must be the only sucker that hasn't encountered one of these freely drinking tech companies.
You're not the only one, I've been with quite a few startups and before that I worked with VC's to help get new portfolio companies rolling with IT. Never have a seen it, I've only heard of it.
It's probably for the best, I predict I'd either drink too much or complain that they only buy crappy beer :)
Did you ever try it? Or is kombutcha just what they wrote on the label?
I did try it. If it was beer, it was the weakest, fruitiest beer I've ever tried.
Was that some sort of kombucha-flavoured soft drink? Actual kombucha drink tastes only like vinegar. (I drank it for maybe a year in a health-crazed period ~20 years ago xD)
There's some kombucha that tastes quite fruity and sweet. Actually in that city there was a kombucha company that made a really delicious grape kombucha.
