The Friday Question

Ah, Friday rolls around again so it must be time to foolishly give something away! First off a brief diversion. If you’re one of the facebook generation you may know that I’m giving one fan of Oliver Ales the chance to join myself and a number of local beer bloggers for a very special beer tasting . We will be sampling some of the strongest beers in the world from the BrewDog brewery in Scotland, Sink The Bismarck (41%abv), Tactical Nuclear Penguin (32%abv) and Tokyo(18%) as well as something on the other end of the scale, Nanny State (0.5%abv)! If you want to throw your name into the hat for the draw go to the discussion section of our facebook page but be quick, the draw will be at 1pm today. The beer itself won’t be here for a couple of weeks unfortunately. I just received word from BrewDog that shipping of the Bismarck has been delayed until the 16th.

On to last weeks question. This one was obviously wide open but here’s the actual bottle as displayed in our “Hall Of Fame” cabinet in the brewery….

My collection of beer stuff!

and the winning number is ....

33, 417 it is. That makes Sandy Mitchell the winner (again!) but again, as it was a close run thing  I would like to extend the invitation to the runner up as well so Mr. Graham Green you are also a winner. I will be in touch to organize a date and time for the tasting. Congratulations.

On to this week’s question. As I mentioned last week, Bruce at The Metropolitan Coffee House and Wine Bar has recently celebrated the serving of their 100th cask of craft ale, a fine achievement I’m sure you’ll agree. What I’d like to know is, how many of those casks were Oliver Ales? The prize is this… next week, at 6pm Bruce will be serving our latest cask ale, Three Spires Ale, a hoppy 5%abv golden ale and we’d like the winner to join us for a pint or two. We’ll pick up your tab to the tune of $40 so come along, eat, drink and be merry! As usual, post your answer via the comment section below. First correct answer posted wins. Cheers

Steve

    Sheesh. Well, at least “playing” lucky numbers here in THIS lottery has far better odds than playing the state-run lotteries………

    Well competitors, I can reveal that as of last night the Metropolitan, has served 101 ‘firkins’ of cask ale!
    However, as I read Bruce’s, ‘firkin’ list last night, l shall abstain from this week’s competition. Doh!!!
