“Will work for beer” is a funny story about how Kate Golden discovered that Beer isn’t just a drink.
“But beer’s not only a party drink — it’s a commodity, too. Kate Golden discovered as much when a guest left a case of Bud Light behind at a party she threw.”

What is Barter?

Wikipedia defines barter as:
“Barter is a type of trade that doesn’t use any medium of exchange, in which goods or services are exchanged for other goods and/or services. It can be bilateral or multilateral as trade.
Barter and money are different means of balancing an economic exchange. Barter is used in societies where no monetary system exists. When there is one, it is also used, especially in economies suffering from a very unstable currency (as when hyperinflation hits).”
Barter can be a very efficient way of doing business if you are in the startup face (but still has something to offer) or if you sell a product / service that has limited production costs. Nothing says that you can’t barter on a small scale.
An interesting idea of Bartering is made by the organization Beyond Barter, where the members freely share each others help.
