If you missed your opportunity to become a World of Beer intern last summer, worry not because the beer bar franchise is repeating the program again this summer. Three lucky beer-lovers will be chosen to spend three months on the road drinking beer, meeting the people who make it and reporting back through a variety of media.
If you think you have what it takes — and can take three months off of work — to drink, mingle and report, check out all the details in the official press release below.
Tampa, FL (March 1, 2017) — World of Beer (WOB) is on the hunt for three interns to travel the country this summer and live, drink and share the best of the beer world with brew lovers everywhere. With more than 70 locations, WOB is the perfect place to gather, drink, eat and explore beer, and its mission is to share beer and beer stories with its customers.
For the second year in a row, the Drink It Intern program seeks beer fans to travel and showcase awesome beer communities big and small, while sharing the stories of everything they experience along the way. Whether you’re a photographer or writer, social media maverick or beer blog surfer, WOB is looking for you. Adventure seekers and storytellers, beer experts or novices, brewery nerds and foodie fans are all open to apply. So if you want to learn about beer, travel, drink and tell your tale to the world, get ready to apply for the chance to share your experience as a Drink It Intern.
Internships run May through August and interns will capture content that gives beer fans a behind-the-scenes look at the fan-favorite brews and share the untold stories of beer communities that make up the country. Free beer isn’t the only perk in this job— each intern will be paid $12,000, plus travel expenses.
“World of Beer was established with the belief that great beer and beer stories have an inordinate ability to connect people, establish community and create lasting memories,” said World of Beer CMO Terry Haley. “Our Drink It Interns embody this belief as they document their journey through craft beer culture, to offer a fresh and highly personal perspective to the craft beer community, while gaining career and life skills along their journey.”
The selected Drink It Interns will be World of Beer narrators, capturing content from around the country and the world and sharing it back via WOB social media channels to fans, bringing fresh stories and new insights in the world of brew traveling. The interns will be reporting on a behind-the-scenes look at the beer industry, covering brewery and WOB events, while gaining real-world experience in a professional field that offers limitless possibilities.
“The 2016 Drink It Interns traveled to some of the most iconic beer communities across the country and around the world. This year, we are again looking forward to our interns highlighting amazing breweries, big and small, that make up the fabric of the beer community,” said World of Beer Director of Brand Marketing, Hannah Davis.
