I love it! My firm actually still does beer as a perk - pizza AND beer every thursday for staff, and we're still doing... healthy fruit tuesdays! It's part of our culture, and iI really believe the pizza/beer gathering is necessary for us to foster camaraderie for a large office. It's how we integrate, and share, and continue infusing culture into our newest recruits. It's not a large expense, and I really believe that the cost to our culture to cut it, would be even greater. I'd fight to keep it if push came to shove! There are definitely other/better ways to cut costs. That’s a great anecdote - beer for the folks who picked up your garbage. I love it!
