Do you know your beer? And we mean, really, really know your beer? Then have we got a job for you!

The Smithsonian, the world’s largest research and museum complex, is looking for an official beer historian as part of its Food History project at the National Museum of American History. 

The dream gig, according to the ad, is based in Washington, D.C., and pays just upwards of $64,000, with benefits. Benefits other than the main one—getting to think and talk about beer all day long. The ad also mentions that the job includes “field research” (wink wink, glug glug).
