Chief Beer Officer???

OK, I've heard of CTOs, CFOs, CIOs, CMOs, and C3PO...but this one's new to me:

Four Points by Sheraton has recently appointed Scott Kerkmans as their CBO. Yep, Chief Beer Officer. He's 27, from Colorado, started his own magazine called Draft, and is a certified beer judge.

The Kegulator

So you're planning a party...maybe Super Bowl, maybe 4th of July, or maybe it's the May 2-4 weekend (Canadians will understand), and now it's time to go fill the fridge. You're stuck with that terrifying question of how much beer to get--too little and your friends will call you a cheap bastard and never show up again, too much and you're stuck with a whole bunch of beer your friends like but you'd never drink yourself.

Now, there's a magical solution: The Kegulator!



Just tell it how many people are coming, and use the sliders to size up your friends' character...and there's your answer!
