Excellent article Jamey. You points are very...on point. _^ I wonder, do the beers rotate seasonally?

I also wanted to point out that the Google 20% time thing is an urban myth; "Whilst Mayer claims that 20% time is something that doesn't exist, in a 2004 letter to potential investors, Sergey Brin and Larry Page wrote 'We encourage our employees, in addition to their regular projects, to spend 20% of their time working on what they think will most benefit Google." - Source: businessinsider.com/google-20-perc...
