Competition – win tickets to Great Grog’s Bottled Beer Fair

beer fest

Great Grog’s annual Edinburgh beer fair is taking place once again – on Saturday the 14th of September, at Cafe Camino (just behind John Lewis, at the Omni Centre entrace). From 1-6pm, at least a dozen Scottish micro-breweries will be pouring free samples of their beers, and talking ticket-holders through their philosophies and brewing processes. There will also be beery discussions, a homebrew forum, and plenty more. Tickets are selling out – but we have three pairs to give away, right here on the BeerCast.

If you’re in Edinburgh on Saturday the 14th, and fancy going, then there are three ways that you can get hold of a pair:-

1. You can reply to this blog post, by leaving a comment below. Let us know that you’d like to come!
2. You can send us a tweet @thebeercast using the hashtag #GreatGrogFair
3. You can like us on Facebook

Each method has one pair of tickets associated, so you can (if you’re really keen/bored) enter three times. Triple your chances! (If you have already liked us on Facebook, then send us an FB Message or post on our profile to take part). One entrant will be randomly selected for each category, and those winners will be announced on Thursday the 12th of September, so you have until then to get the entries in. The lucky attendees will then have their names on the doors at Cafe Camino for the event. Our decision is final, there is no cash alternative, keep out of direct sunlight, and don’t boil or it will impair the flavour. Good luck!

    Free tickets? Yes please! I don’t have a facebook or twitter account, so this is my only method of blagging free entry! Perhaps my chances are already scuppered as I haven’t used my real name on the post! Will Mr Beatnik require to have ID with him? 😛

    Looking forward to sampling some more unique flavours, and some firm favourites!

    I would not say no. The venue is handy as well. Over indulge and then pop into the chapel for a spot of confessional.

    Mr Beatnik – I’ll be emailing the lucky winners of each of the blog post, Twitter and Facebook tickets – so they can then email me back whatever name they wish to be placed on the door at Cafe Camino. And, don’t forget, each winner will get a pair of tickets – so if your name comes out of the (digital) hat, you’ll be able to bring Mrs Beatnik…

    Don’t forget, you can triple your chances of winning by entering again on our Twitter page and Facebook page. Yes, it’s shameful cross-social media linkbaiting. But you can win a prize worth literally tens of pounds!*

    *i.e. two tens of pounds. £20

    Thanks for letting me know Richard!
    Mrs Beatnik is preggo at the moment, so I doubt she’ll be joining me… I wonder if I could use both tickets for myself to double my sampling possibilities?!
