Don’t Tweet & Drive.
That’s a good rule of thumb for everyone, but our situation is just a bit different. Last summer we launched #CraftBevChat on Twitter, and for about 10 weeks the chats grew into a fun, interesting, and chatty weekly occurrence.
Towards the tail end of the summer, I (Cindy) departed on a 4 month cross-country road trip. I went from California to Montana to Pennsylvania and back, stopping at many points in between. Reflecting back on it now, I hosted the chat from a camping spot on a lake in Montana, from a truck stop in North Dakota, and while watching fireworks from the back of a pickup in Ohio – just to name some of the more interesting spots I was at during chat time.
It was an adventure, trying at times to get enough juice from my cell phone’s hot spot, and it was fun. But as the weeks went by, it simply became harder and harder for me to be somewhere with reliable wifi at 6pm PST / 9pm EST. And then one week, I straight forgot about it – enjoying the comforts of my friend’s sofa and balling my eyes out watching The Green Mile.
Admittedly distracted, I put #CraftBevChat on hold until the end of 2014.
Join us Tuesday, Jan 20th at 6pm PST / 9pm EST to Welcome Back #CraftBevChat
I pledged to return, and here we are! Refreshed after a little post holiday and post road trip nesting, we’re ready to get things started again!
2015 holds a lot of exciting things in store for Craft Beverage, and there will be so many fun people to talk to and great topics to talk about.
This next Tuesday’s topic is going to be casual – we’ll all just be reacquainting ourselves with one another, the topic at hand, and having fun. The only requirement is that you tell us what craft beverage is on your mind or on your taste buds at the time.
Our future schedule is coming together – both in terms of topics and guest hosts. Got an idea for a #CraftBevChat or want to guest host? Send us a Tweet to @CraftBevJobs or email me at [email protected]. Some future chat topics include:
- Education of Craft Beverage
- Trends in Craft Beer
- Food and Pick Your Poison Pairings
- How to grow your Craft Beverage Business
- Best places to shop online for Craft Beverage
Look forward to seeing everyone on Tuesday! Have a Great Weekend!
