CONTEST: What is your best Brewing/Beer story

Post by LouieMacGoo »

So many of you have shared your brewing and beer stories both here and on the old Borg site but I really think that there are some stories that just haven't been shared yet. They are either really embarrassing or down right unbelievable or just too amazingly stupid that you just haven't want to share. Well this is your opportunity to share and maybe get something for it!

Start a new post in the Brewhouse with the title "My Best Story: YourNameHere" and give us your umm, best story! Have fun and be creative with it! Pictures are acceptable! Your entry will be judged by the BeerBorg community, so the more responses you have on your post that equals votes. The more votes you get the better. The contest starts now and will go until October 26th at midnight EDT.

So what do you win you ask? :huh: I have 3 Prizes to give away and it will be up to the first and second place winners to choose which they want and the third place winner will get what ever is left! :razz:

Prize #1 - A one year subscription to BYO Magazine (8 Issues delivered to you for one full year)
Prize #2 - A BrewDemon Conical Fermenter
Prize #3 - 4 bottles of my home brewed beer sent to you from me for your drinking enjoyment! (Beers types will be determined later!)

** I wish I could provide more/better prizes, but this is the best I can do at this time! So :razz: **

Winners will be contacted by Private Message or email to get address information so I know where to send the goodies. Please be aware that your Name, address, and contact information will be shared with the companies providing the prizes. If the winner of any of the above prizes would like to transfer the prize to any other BeerBorg member they may do so. Just make sure you make arrangement with that person and myself to ensure that there is no confusion.

Hopefully everyone will have fun with this! :cheers:

If folks play this game, I'm willing to post it but declare myself ineligible... I posted it on the old Mr. Beer forum.
