I Am A Winner!

Hey - just received an e-mail informing me that I won a secondary prize in the OCB's "Craft Brewer For A Day" contest.

While I didn't win the chance to brew my own at one of the OCB facilities (how cool would that be?) - I have won $300 worth of "swag". Most likely t-shirts, mugs and openers.

Wonder how my kids will look going off to school in Wellington and Mill Street t-shirts?

Congratulations! You know you're now going to look like your wardrobe came from a 2-4?!

Congrats!

I wonder who the winner was? Hopefully they're a real beer person & do something cool.

If I didn't win, I hope it's somebody who likes me!

Funny thing is that I had to fax in a photocopy of my "age of majority" card!

I'm 44, and have been buying beer since I was 15. I have honestly only been ID'd a handful of times - usually in the states two decades ago.

Thanks to Ontario's archaic drinking laws - ie. no beer related glasses can be given out to anyone under 19 - I feel young again.

I received the prize pack. $300 worth of stuff? Well, I'm not complaining, but...

6 nice beer glasses, a Beau's brewery trucker hat, an apron, president's choice bar-b-q tools and some caramel corn.

Fun stuff.

My daughter asked why they didn't send beer with the prize pack. I could just shake my head sadly...

She did enjoy drinking her apple juice out of a Nickel Brook draft glass though.

Yeah, hardly seems like $300 worth, does it?

Congratulations anyway!

That's hardly $100.00 worth of stuff.
Must have been that really good caramel corn then................

I forgot to mention that it came with 2 t-shirts as well.

I figure they were worth $90 each!

But, I have been putting the glasses to good use.
