Competition Time Again: Free Keg Of Beckett's Dublin Lager

The weather for this weekend may be rubbish. Nevertheless, we are planning to stay in the summer mood until Halloween. Want to join us? We have partnered with youth internet survivor P45.net to give you the chance to win a keg of Beckett's Dublin lager. Where other cool sites run out of 'oxygen', P45.net blusters on with a knowing heavyweight swagger.

Stupid easy question at http://www.brewcrew.ie/p45.htm

Top Tip: The more of your mates you tell about this competition, the better chance you have of getting some Free Peer Beer.

People do actually win. The P45.net winner will be announced in the next edition. Recent keg winners are listed at http://www.brewcrew.ie/winstuff.htm

Testimonials from satisfied Brewcrew users.

"Beer was excellent. Everyone remarked on the service and the beer. Much better than the Dublin result last Sunday anyway."
David McCormack, Inchicore.

""The service was excellent, setup nice and handy, and The Beckett's beer was oh so nice, much better than I expected. A creamier fresher tasting heineken is how I'd describe it."
Keith Humphreys
, Dalkey.

1. Trial Nears in Castration of Town's Beer-swilling Goat Mayor

"It's a story with larger-than-life elements: a millionaire and a movie star, an irate stone mason and a stealthy act of violent revenge in a border town, the castration of a magistrate in the dark of night. Added is the singular nature of the victim: Clay Henry III, a duly elected figure who happens to be a red and white-spotted goat with a strong penchant for beer."

"It doesn't seem to have traumatized him," said resort marketing director Ed Spengeman. "He drinks as much as he ever did. Or, maybe, he drinks a little more."

2. Ben 'Cooter' Jones for Congress

Remember the car mechanic from The Dukes of Hazzard, well he is running as a Democrat for Congress in Virginia. His slogan reads;

'Running the old-fashioned way - shaking hands, looking folks in the eye, and listening to every word.'

Early polls see him 4% shy of the leading candidate with 44%. A close one. No, he is not running against Boss Hogg. Although, you can view some pics of Cooter and deputy Cletus recently re-united. [BTW, Hogg is dead] http://www.benjonesforcongress.com/photos/stage.html

Some Classic Cooter:

1. "Daisy is so good lookin' she'd make a freight train go up a dirt road."

2. "We've always had sushi in Hazzard. We used to call it bait."

Have been meaning to put one of these together for sometime. Beer.com have come up with ten alright selections. Why is beer required in movies?

"Beer is often crucial to story development and in context it can subtly reveal character nuances and motivations. Beer acts as a narrative driving force, provides comic relief, blahblahblah ... whatever."

www.beer.com review of Apocalypse Now:

Suds Story: Lieutenant Benjamin Willard is sent into Cambodia to assasinate rogue American Colonel Walter Kurtz (Marlon Brando). Hijinks ensue.

Foam Moment: In need of an airlift, Willard approaches Lt. Kilgore (Robert Duval) for help. Later, they bond over beer. Willard describes the scene: "They choppered in T-bones and beer and turned the L.Z. into a beach party. But the more they made it like home, the more they made everybody miss it."

Bottle Count: Dozens, with T-bones for everyone. http://www.beer.com/ca/be/articles/be_fea_020829_brewsonfilm.html

Sam Adams beer is reportedly being boycotted in almost 100 of Boston's Irish bars because of a recent radio shock jock sex scandal at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. Full Story at http://www.businesstoday.com/business/business/sam08282002.htm
