UPDATES
Last week’s winner was ArtVandely who won 10 weeks ago, beating our new and improved 8 week win limit… so congrats to Art for giving us 4 (instead of just 3) of the correct beer names on the shelf. Art gets himself a signed copy of Charles Bamforth’s book, BEER: Tap into the Art and Science of Brewing.
This week’s trivia question is a doooozey! Watch to see what it is!
We thought this was so cool that we had to pimp ourselves… a few weeks ago on Taste Buds (episode #120 to be exact) we featured the Imperial Red from local brewery Rockyard. Well, not long after that episode went live a liquor store on the East Coast gave them a call and told them they wanted to start carrying their beer in their store. Proof positive that Beer Tap TV has a pretty significant reach. So all you breweries… if you want your beer to be noticed, and apparently carried at out of region locations, get in touch with us and send us your beers! Think of us a your free PR machine!
Tomorrow is the anniversary of September 11… be sure to take a moment out of your busy day to remember all those folks we lost on that tragic day.
Don’t forget… we’re on Facebook too, so become a become a fan today!
