Are you saying that having beer on tap is either unprofessional or not conducive to actual work? Color me shocked!

Didn't wework have to switch to kombucha after someone realized that a place where you pay money to hang out all day and drink is in fact a bar and you need a liquor license?

A "liquor" license and a "beer and wine" license are 2 different things. A beer and wine license is a few hundred bucks (depending on your location), and just requires some paperwork. A liquor license can be over $100k depending on your location.

In California, you do not need a license to "give away" beer or wine for free or in exchange for something like a ticket.

I thought that was only in certain jurisdictions. Maybe it was universal though.

I'd assume it'd be certain jurisdictions. You definitely don't need a liquor license to serve beer and wine universally[1].
