\"Post<\/a>The best part about doing a beer festival is chilling out with good friends after the day is done.\u00a0 Over the years, I solicited pretty much every friend I know to help me work the booth. Many let me crash at their house, dedicated their entire weekend to helping me sign up new members, and never took anything in the way of compensation except beer, cigars, and food that was paid for by\u00a0bartering cigars.\u00a0\u00a0Several folks helped me year after year, working the same events. Pretty cool to have friends help you build your business.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

To the unpaid festival workers, I raise my glass and thank you from the bottom of my heart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prost!<\/span>
