Competition Time: Free Keg Of Beckett's Dublin Lager

The rules of this competition are very simple. Hit reply to this ezine and type in your experiences of the Brew Crew service. We are looking to populate a page with some fair testimonials. Did you like the beers? Was the party good? Did you refer your friends? Were the delivery guys nice? Say anything, just make us proud.

Our recent keg winners list is at http://www.brewcrew.ie/winstuff.htm

This testimonial was prepared earlier:

"Thank you very much for arranging the bar for last Friday night, at relatively short notice. Yes, it was a great night and the Brew Crew definitely contributed to the success of the evening. I must say Andrew the the three girls were wonderful and worked very hard and at the same time managed to remain friendly, helpful and efficient. The beer was great also. I'm not a beer drinker myself but even I enjoyed several glasses of the brew and I confess I'm converted. It really went down very well and was just the right temperature. It was also great having a real "bar" in the garden. Best of luck with your venture - you certainly have hit on a great idea."

Suwon, Korea - June 16 2002: a day that has gone down in World Cup history. It was the game that saw a 91st minute equaliser for plucky Ireland against The Mighty Spaniards. It was the finale that provided a goalless extra time. It ended in a battle to progress to the quarter finals with a penalty shootout. What happenned next?

Steady YOUR nerve and step up to the penalty spot. Our pals Lewis Boadle and Dara Walsh have re-rigged their shoot out game, and now invite you to re-write history in 'Suwon Shoot Out'

Cristal (4.9% abv) - 'la preferida de CUBA'

Hear the song on site below. The song is better than the beer, but the beer is grand from the bottles or cans when very cold. Draught is unreliable, but will get you there. Best drunk in significant quantities.

"Cristal’s distinctive packaging features the royal palm, Cuba’s national symbol and your assurance of authentic Cuban taste. Experience the intensely refreshing flavor and exceptional quality of Cristal, Cuba’s number one beer."

"We Cubans love our national products and it isn't uncommon to see Cristal at all concerts, parties, on the beach or in the hands of a serious domino player or any respected salsa dancer."

[Imagine an Irish verion of this last paragraph - Ed]

G L I B  P O E M - 'Nor even kissed a maid'

He was a very cautious man.
He never romped or played.
He never smoked, he never drank
nor even kissed a maid.
So when he up and passed away
insurance was denied.
For since he hadn't lived
they claimed he hadn't died.

This is dedicated to all the people who led big lives in June.
