Dream Job: Bar Reviewers Wanted - Payment in Cocktails!
When you think about the finest restaurants in the world, you probably think of those adorned with Michelin stars. And though there are several guides for "best bars," a new global contender has emerged, named The Pinnacle Guide, aiming to become the ultimate authority on the world's best bars - no matter where they may be - and granting them international acclaim for their top-notch service, - Timeout writes.
Conceived by three beverage experts, The Pinnacle Guide stands as a reputable recognition system, determined to seek out and endorse the crème de la crème of bars worldwide, bestowing them with international accolades for their excellence. Bars will be awarded ratings of 1, 2, or 3 Pins, with the inaugural Pins set to be bestowed by year's end.
So, where do you fit in? At the onset, the guide is in search of reviewers to frequent local bars and appraise their cocktail offerings. You can apply through The Pinnacle Guide website to become one of their reviewers, regardless of your mixology skills. After completing an online form, you will be invited for an interview, and if successful, you'll receive training. Your task will be to order two drinks (expenses covered by the guide) and submit a review of your experience at the bar. Evaluation criteria have been devised in collaboration with the bar industry.
Anonymity is of the utmost importance - you must under no circumstances reveal your identity, so don't go boasting about this delightful opportunity!
As reported by The Gaze, beer production (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) in the EU has reached nearly 80 liters per capita. According to Eurostat data, last year the European Union produced 343 million hectoliters of beer containing alcohol, coming close to pre-COVID-19 levels when production reached 347 million hectoliters in 2019.
Germany continues to lead beer production among EU countries in 2022, producing 7.6 billion liters of beer, accounting for over 22% of the EU's total production. This means that approximately one in every four alcoholic beers produced in the EU hails from Germany.
