Fisher Woodcraft(Joe) and Myself(Spitfire) recently became vendor's on the site.

We wanted to team up and give back to a great community that has given so much to us.

We put together a trivia contest and will each be giving a beer tap away as prizes. Here is how this will work.

In the next few days I will be posting 20 trivia questions. Anybody and everybody is able to participate in the contest as long as you are in US or Canada

Once the questions are posted(Sometime between now and Sunday) you will have until midnight May 8th to submit your answers to me via PM.

When sending in your answers I want the answers only, please do not include the questions, just answers. Very important......Number all answers and send them in order. Your answers will be scored in order the questions were posted. It should look something like this.
1) beer
2)tap
3)keg
etc

Th prizes. If we have multiple people get all answers correct we will put their names in a hat and draw out 2 names for the winners. If nobody gets an answers right then we will got to the person who got the most right. If multiple people got the same amount right again we will draw names from a hat for the 2 winners.

What you can win.

One winner will get to pick an in stock tap from Fisher Woodcraft's website. In stock tap only.

The other winner will get a tap from me and will be made to order meaning you tell me the colors(up to 2 colors) and I will make it for you specific to what you want.

Once the contest is over and the winners are announced we will post the answers to the questions for all to see.

We want this to be fun while giving back to the community. I expect quite a few entrants so please be patient as we go through them once the deadline past to declare the winners.

Thanks
Jason and Joe :mug:

Questions will be posted in the next few days in this message to keep an eye out for it.

Ok, here they are. Please include 1 answer only. No I think this is it but you are probably looking for this as your answer. if you send a response like that what ever you answer with first will be the final answer.

Hey gang! Just so you don't feel like you missed out if you got all of the questions correct, Jason and I will add to the pot a bit.

Each person who gets all 20 questions correct will get a 20% off coupon for either FisherWoodcraft or Spitfire, up to 5 coupons from each of us.

Good luck, and have fun!

-Joe
 
Hello again! Thought I'd post up with the handles the winner gets to choose from:

cocobolo_oval1.jpg


taphandle_birdseye032909_1.jpg


taphandle_redwoodburl1.jpg


taphandle_redwoodburl2.jpg


taphandle_zebrawood.jpg


The first two are a matched set and have some very small cracks from the drying process, so if the winner decides on one of those for free, I'll be sure to give a nice discount on buying the second one.

-Joe
 
There are not nearly enough entries into this contest....Send your answers in!!!!!!!

You only have until tomorrow midnight to submit your answers.
 
OMG I won! I never win anything! I'm so happy, I think I'm going to cry!:) Thanks spitfire and fisher woodcraft for sponsoring this contest! This is awesome, I'm piecing together my kegorator right now and a tap handle brilliantly turned by Joe is just what I need.:rockin::mug::D:ban:
 
Congrats to all the winners! Brian, there will be no crying ;)

I was just talking with Spitfire about the coupons. Each of our styles is very different and some folks may prefer one over the other. If you decide you'd like to trade the coupon you won with someone else, that's cool. Just please work it out with the other person and make sure you both Spitfire or me so we can keep track of who's got what :)

Thanks, and I'm glad everyone had fun. Maybe we'll do it again some time!

-Joe
 
I am truly surprised that I won. I have been contemplating whether or not to get into kegging, and this has definitely made the decision for me. This is freaking amazing. I can't thank you guys enough for this! :mug: :rockin:
