I don’t know if it’s the change in weather or if I am just a bit off, but this week has been a whirlwind. I am grateful to have a support system at Elliott Bay Brewing Co. that always greets with my smiles and positivity.
A new month means new specials, which means that I’ve had the opportunity to photograph (and taste) lots of yummy new items this week! The goat cheese and herb burger I’ve pasted below is one of the West Seattle specials and D*** it is DELICIOUS. (Goat cheese is my weakness…) I managed to only eat a quarter of the burger and share the rest with the staff, but I’ve been dying to go back and order the full meal to myself.
At Burien, one of the November specials is a jalepeno popper grilled cheese. It is super spicy, but it truly is finger licking good. (Can you tell I’m hungry as I write this?)
On Wednesday, James let me help him brew an organic Alembic Pale Ale. I was not able to stay all day, but it was awesome to help mix the mash and learn a bit of the science behind brewing. I am so happy to be interning in a position where I can learn so much about things I love like food and beer!
I am really bummed that I did to have time to analyze the social report data this week. I have been pushing this task off for WEEKS and never feel like I have the time, but I am promising myself (ePorfolio as my witness), that I will do so next week. It is SO important to create content, but its JUST as important to know which content is doing best with the audience.
Tomorrow is the Barrel Aged Invitational. It sold out (YAY!), and I am hoping that is in-part due to the marketing and content I created around advertising! I hope I get a chance to try a few tastes of the many barrel aged beers and food pairings that are offered.
I am just loving this internship! You can have fun and work a real “adult” job at the same time. Who knew?! Until next week, cheers!
