The Boston Beer Company’s Post

You know what I think about the PLOTTERS? I think you won’t find a more perfectly curated bunch of talented creatives anywhere. So Richard Plotnek and I like to reward them with an annual day out. We close the office for a day and set out on an adventure. For those who don’t know, Richard is my brother. It’s true, you can’t pick your family. Even so, I’d always pick Rich. But you can bloody well pick your team. And I’d pick each and every one of them, ten times outta ten. I’m always on the lookout for adventures to do with the PLOTTERS. Any recommendations? Where do you take your teams? #GrandDaysOut #TeamBuilding

Networking on Tap: Building Professional Relationships Over a Pint Networking is essential. But what if we told you that some of the best professional relationships start not in boardrooms, but over a pint of craft beer? 🍺 1. Relaxed Atmosphere – Sharing a beer often creates a more relaxed and informal setting, making it easier to break the ice and connect on a personal level. 2. Common Ground – Craft beer enthusiasts (and tour guides) have a built-in conversation starter. Discussing favorite beers, brewing techniques, and history can foster instant camaraderie. 3. Memorable Experiences – Attending a City Brew Tour offers a unique and memorable backdrop for networking and seeing a new side of Austin. Your team will leave with a new respect for the Austin craft beer scene. 4. Enhanced Creativity – Studies suggest that moderate beer consumption can boost creative thinking, potentially leading to more innovative ideas and solutions during discussions. 5. Local Connections – Supporting local small businesses through events and tours can help you connect with other local professionals and businesses, strengthening your community ties and getting a unique perspective on the city. Join us on a City Brew Tour for a better way to enjoy the Austin craft beer scene. Our tours offer the perfect blend of education, entertainment, and opportunities to build meaningful professional relationships. 🍻 Book your spot on a tour today and see how a pint of beer can transform your next team event or night out!

(Pardon me for a little LinkedIn shoutout.....) Want to give a massive shout out to Brooke Fine and Alice's Table for the outstanding work they do with activities for corporate events. We've used them several times for all kinds of activities (floral making classes, charcuterie boards, wine tasting, game nights....) and they knock it out of the park every time. If you're looking for fun virtual events to do as a group, get in touch with this team. They make planning look easy, and make sure we have fun! They also make me believe that, in another life, I could be a florist.....! #alicestable #corporateevents #virtualevents #virtualfun #virtualwork #virtuallearning

🎉 Celebrating 2 Months of Incredible Journey at Cove Drinks! 🎉 Wow, what a whirlwind it has been! It feels like just yesterday I joined the amazing team at Cove Drinks, and yet here we are, celebrating our two-month anniversary together. I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for making these past couple of months so incredibly special. From day one, it has been abundantly clear that Cove is more than just a company—it's a family. The passion, dedication, and energy that each team member brings to the table are truly inspiring. Whether it's brainstorming new ideas, tackling challenges head-on, or simply supporting one another, I've been blown away by the camaraderie and spirit of collaboration that defines our team. As we reflect on the past two months, I can't help but draw parallels to some of the most transformative moments in recent history—like the legalization of Cannabis in 2018. Just as that historic event opened up new possibilities and ushered in a wave of innovation, I believe that Cove is on the cusp of something truly extraordinary, as Functional Soda takes main stage. Behind the scenes, we've been working tirelessly to lay the groundwork for our next chapter of growth. From expanding our product line to forging strategic partnerships, every step we take is fueled by our shared vision of becoming a trailblazer in the industry. But what truly sets us apart isn't just our ambition—it's our unwavering commitment to excellence and integrity. As we continue to push boundaries and defy expectations, I have no doubt that we'll not only achieve our goals but surpass them in ways we can't even imagine. So here's to us—here's to Cove Drinks, and to the incredible journey that lies ahead. Together, I know that there's no limit to what we can accomplish. Thank you for being a part of this remarkable adventure, and here's to many more milestones and successes to come! Cheers to our past, present, and future success! 🥂 #CoveDrinks #Teamwork #Innovation #Growth #CheersToTheFuture

Chelsea and Paul (Mr. Coffee Bags) attend the 2024 US Roasters Qualifiers & Rankings! How exciting the last few days were over in Houston, TX! Chelsea and Paul took the time to chat with us about their experience at this year's US Roasters Qualifiers. What was different in this year's US Roasters Qualifiers? Paul: They changed the formatting of this event so it's more like World's. There's four roasters roasting at the same time, all the beans are supplied. I would say - three quarters of this field have made it to Finals before. There's 32 roasters and that's amazing. No one has an advantage, they're all roasting at the same time. They're bringing their talent and their skill. How was your first time volunteering at the US Roasters Qualifiers, Chelsea? Chelsea: For me, I haven't been to a lot of these where I was more involved with roasters. It was my first experience being knee deep in the roasters side of things. Its been so fun and interesting to watch the roasters and how they're doing the same thing but they all have such different methods from how they do something like sorting their green coffee and roasted coffee.

Who doesn't like popcorn? 🍿 Today's International Popcorn Day, and we're taking this very (not-so) serious day to heart! In the spirit of this fun day, let's talk about something equally delightful - the uniqueness of our teams. Just like every popcorn kernel pops in its own unique way, each member of our teams brings their own special flavor to the mix. This should be your secret ingredient – or, in keeping with the theme, our 'butter' – that makes working together not just productive, but also a lot of fun. And if your employees are happy and have a high job satisfaction, they: 👏 Are more likely to work well 👏 Stay longer 👏 Have higher loyalty 👏 Are more productive So, here's a toast (or should we say, a 'pop'?) to creating a work environment as enjoyable as that bowl of perfectly popped popcorn 🍿 (yes, we have a popcorn machine at our HQ because we love popcorn 😎👇)
