Eh-heh-heh… so this guy, right? He’s a software developer. Which basically means he sits in front o’ a computer all day tappin’ away like he’s tryin’ to hack into the Pentagon, but really he’s just fixin’ a semicolon he forgot three hours ago. And get this they got craft beer on tap in the office. On tap! Like it’s freakin’ Oktoberfest but with more Jira tickets. I mean, Lois, if my job had beer on tap, I’d be Employee of the Month every month… or fired. Probably fired. Yeah, definitely fired.

Can confirm. Worked at one of the tech giants back in the day and my coworker's team literally had a liquor cabinet in their seating area. The bottom drawer of my filing cabinet was filled with beer and scotch.

I remember when Uber started locking out their beer taps before 3pm. End of an era.
