Free beer for usability
Interesting idea: Café testing
The basic idea behind café testing is to situate yourself at a café, put up a sign to attract participants, and test the people that come to you. Because cafes appeal to a wide variety of individuals, and people at a café often have time to spare, café testing can be a great way to perform a quick litmus test in the marketplace.
Sounds like work for usability testers with a taste for beer ;-)

Wha? Wait ... what about people who don't like beer? Oh wait you're Scandinavian (Norwegian ... right?) That doesn't exist! :P j/k (I actually truly enjoy just about everything Scandinavian and actually know the Danish language - I can read and understand spoken Norwegian! I can read Swedish pretty well too...)
