Free Beer Contest VIII

Regional Forums United Kingdom and Ireland

Following on from my glorious use of Google and winning Fin’s prize I’d better come up with something. I have a can of Batch (AUS) India Black Ale for the winner, happy to post or bring to Cotts if the winner is going.

The Question is:- I work on the railway. What month and year did I first start?

Closest guess at 23.59 on Sunday 16th April wins the can.

I’m pretty sure I could get this … year for definite … month +/- 1 I reckon.

Anyhow … Daves already supplied this beer to my CDA stats so I’ll sit this one out.

We have a winner.

Congratulations to BlackHaddock - Actual answer is Feb 1998. You were the closest - just the 6 months out.

Special thanks to Danlo with 2001, makes me feel less old.

I’ll bring to Cotts or arrange a drop off in Wellington if it helps Mr Haddock!

I never win anything!

Thank you, I’ll take it off you at Cotts if that’s OK?

Now do we want another comp or it that it for 2018? I can start the ball rolling in the UK for 2019 if everyone would rather stop this years ‘Free Beer Week’.

Guess this needs to come to a conclusion eventually.

How about a bi-annual affair ?

Maybe you kick off the next one in October time Jeremy and we’ll let it run for 6 or 8 weeks until December?

OK, I am happy with that if everyone else is.

1st October is International Day of Older Persons (according to my diary), hope I don’t forget!

When I started this I didn’t realise it would roll over as much as it did. Really enjoyed both the donating and the attempting to win.

I have one other Isle of Wight Christmas beer that. Might end up at cotteridge to share with others who didn’t win.

Yes please!
