Are you a writer or beer aficionado who is looking for a unique way to plug into the industry? Well, I may have an opportunity for you. The Southern Brew News is now looking for someone to take on the role of Hop Tips Correspondent.

I’ve held that position for nearly two years, but I am resigning my post in August. Since I started a new job in June, I haven’t had the same flexibility in my schedule. I now feel the need to pull back on my obligations.

It’s a pretty easy job, really. Hop Tips is a semimonthly an e-newsletter that contains a calendar of upcoming events for the eight states that comprise the Southern Brew News region.

It takes me anywhere from one to two hours to put each issue together from events that people send me and what I get from various sources around the interwebs. The best part is, it actually pays. It’s not much, but it’s something, which is more than what most beer writing gigs can say.

Helpful skills include:

• Basic knowledge of HTML
• Intermediate knowledge of beer
• Advanced knowledge of the English language
