V A L E N T I N E S  C O M P E T I T I O N

Brewcrew.ie wishes you the best of luck this week, we hope you get at least one Valentine on Friday. Maybe you won't, it's not the end of the world. We think everybody has special people in their lives. So, we have a new competition for you to play.

It is time to recognise the people in your life worth having a pint with.

Our new competition gives you the chance to pay them a compliment, and to win a Keg of Beckett's Dublin Lager for Valentines' Night.

Beer completes us all.

This simple competition will help you send those messages of support to the people who really count, the people who are always there for you. Yes, it's your drinking buddies...

How it works

Using our high-tech MatesUlike V.1.0 system, you send them an invite to go for a pint. If they accept, both of you are entered in our draw to win a Keg of Beckett's Dublin lager. http://www.beercompletesme.com

It's not for us to tell you who should invite to enter. But, here are some people we thought were worth a pint.

• The gang at the office.
• The fellas at 5-a-side-football.
  
• The mates who give their professional advice for the price of a pint.
  
• The girl whose notes got you through the exams
  
• Family types
  
• Cinema buddies
  
• Ex's who introduce you to new people

And, what about that friend who;

• gets you those hard-to-get tickets.
  
• always drives on those weekend breaks.
  
• brings over the good beer and wine.
  
• lends you the gas-lamp for your BBQ.
  
• has the couch in a cool city for sleepng on.
  
• has sky sports.
  
• has a country cottage with no strings attached.
  
• covers for you at work.
  
• blows his/her money for those silly champagne nights.
  
• has access to a truck for moving big stuff.
  
• send you links to jobs you should apply for.

At least have a go at this competition. You might end up winning the keg, and the opportunity to celebrate Valentines with 55 pints of draught beer delivered to your home. Good luck.
