Friends with Benefits

Welcome Back Y'all!

We've got a fun episode this week that focuses on an ongoing debate within the bartending community. That debate concerns whether or not it is appropriate to take advantage of benefits offered to bartenders by brands. These benefits can consist of merchandise, travel, and other unique opportunities.

A phrase that is being thrown out more often than not is "selling out". While I don't want to take any hardline stance on this issue, I do think that accusing bartenders of selling out is a little bit silly. It's not like anyone is selling out their soul by taking a trip and picking up a couple of new bottles at their bar.

In the second half of our show, Megan Devine joins us to talk about Camp Runamok and how that is a benefit that many up and coming bartenders want to participate in. Megan is a manager at 12 Mile Limit and a kick ass bartender that I have the pleasure of working with on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Anywho, thanks as always for listening! Enjoy this week's episode!
