I personally don't find it off putting, but I bet the frequent references to "beer-thirty" and "drink-ups" could be offputting to a fair amount of people.

It's not that I would find it off putting, I quite enjoy happy hours and having optional social interaction with coworkers outside of work.

It's just that they're such tired, cliche phrases.

"beer-thirty" is now "The Show" and "drink-ups" are now called "Meetups". This article is rather old.
