As first world problems go, the one we’re currently experiencing at Crafty Towers is likely to elicit precisely zero sympathy: we’ve run out of beer fridge space. Yep, despite the fact that our primary beer fridge is twice the size of the one used for feeding the Pint family and we have a second smaller one, there has been a glut of incoming beer combined with a decision to reduce the Crafty gut and now we have more beer than can be fitted into both.
So, what better way to solve the problem henceforth known as the Glut ‘n’ Gut Quandary than by offering people the chance to win some of their contents? None, that’s what.
What we’ve done is pick our way through the shelves to put together a selection of tasty beers from Australian brewers that one of you could win – if you’re attending this week’s Good Beer Showcase.
Anyone attending can sign up for the Crafty Pint mailing list on one of the boards we’ll have dotted around Ormond Hall and, once the Showcase is over, we’ll draw a lucky winner at random. Don’t worry if you already receive the newsletter; you can still sign up to enter – just indicate on the form that you’re already a subscriber. Usual comp rules apply, which you’ll find in the About section of the site.
The beers in the pack include the following:
- Murray’s / Crafty Pint Auld Bulgin' Boysterous Bicep
- Campus Brewer 10/10 Imperial Stout (Royal Adelaide Show Champion Exhibit)
- Boatrocker Misfit
- Moon Dog Dasher’s Envy
- HopDog Beer Works All Hallows Ale
- Bridge Road (new recipe) Robust Porter
- Red Hill Hop Harvest
- O'Brien Belgian Ale (AIBA 2013 gold medalist)
- Red Duck Sexy Thing
- Brookes Beer’s just-released Belgian IPA
If you fancy getting your hands on these and more, then head to Ormond Hall this Wednesday or Thursday and, while perusing the 100 beers with your 20 tasting tokens, scribble on one of our signup forms.
Good luck!
NB: Bonus prize for anyone who can name seven of the beers or breweries in the photo at the top. Not sure what it is yet, but it will involve beer! If you think you can, email crafty@craftypint.com with the answers.
