WHAT DO YOU DO AT BIGELOW?

I was originally hired to fill a kitchen position but I also was able to fill the not-yet-established social media/marketing position, which was my end goal anyway!

Favorite style of beer?

I don’t discriminate. I gravitate towards hoppy ones, though.

Favorite Bigelow Beer?

Dementia Dog but it makes me make too many typos when I’m trying to work. Jailbreak Chocolate Chili Stout is my alternate when I’m in the mood.

Favorite non-Bigelow Beer?

I like to try whatever is most funky, unique, or new to me when I’m out and about. Boomsauce by Lord Hobo is usually my go-to otherwise.

Most Likely to be overheard?

“WAIT. Lemme take a picture!”
