When I worked at a brewery, I HAD to drink beer... I know, good work if you can get it. We had no carbonation meter, so as I carbonated the beer (all of the beer) I would need to sample it to check for good head and body carbonation... sometimes it could take all day to get it just right.

Where I grew up (in the Cincinnati area), there were MANY breweries. Probably a fourth of all blue collar types worked in one of them in my neighborhood. Few folks drove to work as the bus system ran well, frequently and stopped right in front of my house. Every afternoon all the workers from the breweries would come home and most had proof (read gut) of drinking on the job. The trick at the brewery was to have the beer in the tap room a bit warm. Tended to slow down the drinking.
My great-grandfather worked at the Wiedemann brewery in Newport, KY. He lived in a nice neighborhood and wore a suit to work (on the trolley) everyday. He would change into his machinist uniform at work and back to suit before leaving. My grandfather would take his lunch to him each day. One day while great-grandfather was outside eating lunch, high presure steam line right above his worbench exploded. Would have killed him if he was inside at his bench.
I think almost all of the breweries are gone now. What a shame. Good jobs and good local product now all gone.

Long time ago I used to deliver copy supplies to the Pabst brewery in Newark NJ. Since we were delivering in a van we always had to wait while a dock opened up. It takes a long time to empty/load a semi, and we were not allowed to take the 10 cases of copy paper off the van ourselves because of the union.

There was a tap sticking out of the wall in the loading dock with a stack of cups next to it. Some of the coldest beer I've ever had.
