February 24th was World Bartender Day. It seems like everyday is something on the National Day Calendar, but this one got our attention. It’s a day to recognize and thank our favorite drink-slinging servers for their hospitality and hard work. For those who frequent a watering hole, a good bartender can be like a therapist or close friend who is an excellent listener and advice-giver. At our local taprooms and beer pubs, we know that our “beertenders” take pride in the ICT made brews they serve, and are ready to recommend all of our brewery friends, as well as local restaurants and shops to visitors; just don’t ask them their favorite.
So, if your bartenders spend time learning all about you, how well do you know them?
We decided to give our gnome team a little quiz with questions like “What was your first craft beer,” “Favorite food,” or “What’s a fun fact about yourself that we might not know.”
We gathered responses and shared in our social media stories all day on the 24th. Here are the answers in case you missed it. We learned a lot about our amazing team and we hope you do too.
Next time you’re in the taproom, give your gnome bartender a high five!
Cheers,
Your HBIC gnome, Stacy
