There
was a massive reaction to our beer poll. Close to 1000 of you completed
the survey. We have a team of hung-over statisticians currently
working with calculators and crayons to produce some garish pie
chats to illustrate our findings. We are seeking a media partner
to extrapolate the conclusions. Coming soon to a Sunday supplement
near you. It will be on the site too. If you didn't get a chance
the last time, the poll is still up at

Breeda
Crowley from Stillorgan was our beer poll keg winner. We have a
page listing all previous winners at the link below. http://www.brewcrew.ie/winstuff.htm

You're
right, we have set-up an online area for T-shirt sales. There are
a limited number of designs there at present. Expect to see the
range increase
very shortly. Once we settle on a leading design we intend to reward
regular customers with free shirts. Stuff like 'free t-shirt with
every 3 keg party'. For now, you can buy them at http://www.brewcrew.ie/tshirts.htm
If
you have some funny slogans that you think would work on our
shirts, please send them to info@brewcrew.ie

Horseplay Ends in Tears as Usual.
Book
'em Danno. The world's largest retailer came to a halt when two
ejits rode their horses through a Wal-Mart in the southern Arkansas
town of El Dorado, police said Wednesday. Both men were arrested
for being absolutely langers. Great story though.

Alrite (the dj's got it pumpin')
Last
weeks plug for Ireland's brand new male solo RnB artist has helped
him chart in the Top Ten this week. His name is Luke Thomas, and
his first single (Alrite the dj's got it pumpin') came out last
week. Nice site with audio downloads at http://www.lukethomas.ie

Pint Man Develops RSI
A psychology
student has been struck down with a repetitive strain injury, what
some folks dub RSI, by continuously lifting his pint glass at his
local. "Matt Royle is the first person I have ever seen in
my career with RSI caused by drinking beer," explains specialist
physiotherapist Jan Davison. RSI can develop when a tendon becomes
inflamed from continuous repetitive movement. Often associated with
some racket sports, video games and computer keyboard use. Are you
next? This guy visits his local four nights a week and drinks six
pints each time. He should consider switching to a funnel.
4.
Pilsner Urquell on the March.
Expect
to see Czech brewed Pilsner Urquell around a lot more. South African
Breweries are planning a $10 million a year global advertising spree
to lift this tasty beers exposure and see it push for inclusion
among the world's top ten selling beers.
5.
Adverts on Beer Cans Chaos
Japanese
brewer Suntory plan to sell adverts on the sides of its beer can
to bring the price down. I'm sure you can think of some perfect
co-branding experiences. Royal Dutch, Abrakebabra and Nitelink might
make a great combo for Dublin.
