What is the World Beer Festival?
The mission of the World Beer Festival, now in it’s 13th year in Durham, NC and 5th year in Raleigh, NC is the education of the public about beer appreciation and beer quality. In addition, the World Beer Festival is committed to fostering the growth of a positive local beer community. The World Beer Festival features samples of hundreds of different beers from a great variety of breweries from around the country and the world, live music, food from an assortment of restaurants and bars, and educational seminars by leading craft brewing industry insiders.
The World Beer Festival-Columbia will take place at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center on January 24th, 2009 in two sessions, 12-4PM and 6-10PM. The festival is produced by Chautauqua, Inc., publisher of All About Beer Magazine, the definitive source of information about craft beer. The company aims to build beer appreciation through information, education, and experiences.
Why volunteer?
You’ll help a good cause - a portion of the proceeds from the WBF go to support two Columbia non-profits, Columbia Opportunity Resource (COR) and The River Alliance.
You’ll make new friends – work in a fun, friendly environment with great people.
You’ll build your wardrobe – every volunteer gets a cool t-shirt.
You’ll enjoy good beer – though you can’t drink beer while working at the festival, volunteers are treated to a volunteer-only party about a week after the event that includes sampling of beers from the festival, tasty food, and a raffle for lots of neat beer stuff.
You’ll learn more about beer – every volunteer receives a complimentary three-issue subscription to All About Beer magazine.
What do volunteers do?
Most volunteers serve as pourers during the festival, pouring samples for festival guests. Some volunteers also work at the entry gates, taking tickets and welcoming guests.
What is required?
You must be at least 21 years of age to volunteer. Volunteers are required to attend an hour-long training session during the week before the event, and work during at least one of the two festival sessions. Besides that, you just need to smile and enjoy!
