Sweet, just signed up. Thanks for the link!

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

I also signed up! Thanks

 

[the_bird]

Very cool, thanks for the heads-up!

What's even better is that by the time they send them out, I'll have forgotten all about this - so it'll be like getting a Christmas present out of the blue!

 

[Yooper]

Yes, thanks!

the_bird is right- it's awesome to get free stuff months later. Recently I've received Draft magazine (remember that free sign up ages ago?), a hat from Canoe & Kayak, a backpack from TripAdvisor, and T-shirts from various places. I signed up for all that stuff like last fall and then forgot. Getting older and having memory lapses means it's like Christmas all the time!

Well, darn! I actually read the site and it's not available to me. Only available in 16 states. Oh, well!

 

[DUCCCC]

What the heck, I'll sign up, I already have a Guinness bar towel, and I had a set of Maker's Mark golf balls, which I lost on the course.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Signed up Also, Then saw I'm not eligible! Freakin OHIO. For everyone else, Here's the list of Eligible States.

[CodeRage]

Thanks for posting the list. Apparently Fl isnt on that list but one of the local radio stations did a commercial pumping this thing. It wasnt a recorded one either, it was one of the local DJs. Where did you see the list?

 

[Liquidicem]

I'm in. Should be a nice surprise in a few months.

 

[CodeRage]

Well I found the page. So I left them a nastygram

On my way into work this morning I heard a local radio advertisement about the Brolly offer. I should add it was one of the local DJs doing the add and not a recording. I was terribly dissappointed to find out Fl is ineligible for the offer. Why would Bass ale personalize and direct an offer to an area that doesnt qualify to recieve it. This is a terribly shoddy tactic and dare I say false advertising. If this is the way you run your ship I doubt I will ever order a Bass again.

See if that gets me anywhere

 

[Dude]

Where was the page with the list?

Frak! What is the problem with shipping to Michigan? I already signed up. I guess I'll just wait and see if they ignore the rules I guess.

 

[RoaringBrewer]

I don't understand why they didn't just put a drop-down box for state on the page and exclude the states that are ineligble?

Would save them a lot of hassle getting tons of requests that are for ineligible states!

Because they'd rather get your info and be able to use that, and not have to send you anything in return

 

[Homercidal]

I went back and finally found the page with the allowed states. I think they should have listed the states on the order page. That would prevent issues arising from people linking order page, and bypassing the previous page.


Here is the Info...

 

[Moonpile]

Wait a second. AL which doesn't even allow homebrewing can get them, but not MD? WTF?

 

[rdwj]

kewl! I needed one of those and tons of people have my info anyway. What's one more?

 

[JimiGibbs]

I signed up .... Thanks for the tip!!!

Does A-B own Bass?? I didn't know that if tha'ts what this implies. Crazy

 

[dubbel dutch]

Nice one! I've never even heard of a Brolly but one's on its way, hopefully they won't run out with publicity like this.

 

[Homercidal]

From Wikipedia:

"Bass is the name of a former brewery and the brand name for several English beers originally brewed in Burton upon Trent at Bass Brewery and still brewed in Burton on behalf of InBev by Marstons."

And, according to the Bass website, "...Import Brands Alliance, Bass, St. Louis MO"

I believe this means it is imported for sale by A-B.

 

[clayof2day]

Also, that state list IS correct. so unless you're in one of the few lucky states, which I'm not, you won't be getting your brolly. Bummer!

[CodeRage]

For those of you like me who wont get one I found this.
http://www.williamsbrewing.com/BLACK_TAN_TOOL_KIT_P637C42.cfm
Think I may order one. Kind of nifty.
Plus my next black and tan will be poured with a Harp

 

[Beerrific]

You can get one if you live in Utah, but it is probably illegal to use it.

 

[Guinness71]

Was going to sign up till I saw the 'NO PURCHASE NECESSARY (Except CA residents. Click here for details). ' -- Dont have the time or willingness to fill out a 3X5 card and send the dollar...

 

[brownale]

In OH. Will probably buy one ... not from A-B or Bass

 

[McKBrew]

I signed up and then read the rest of the thread. No Brolly for me. Oh well, now A-B has my information and they can come in at night and sabotage my homebrewery.

I believe this means it is imported for sale by A-B.

I believe what that means is that Bass is owned and brewed by InBev (The Belgium brewing conglomerate) and imported to the US by AB. So if you buy Bass in the US you are buying beer from AB and supporting two of the worlds largest brewers.

The relationships between most of the well known brands seems to be quite complicated and intertwined.

I signed up .... so did my business and my staff ,my son, my wife ..... see if I even get one...lol bet I get lots of junk mail from it oh well lights the stove real well.

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Well, Oklahoma wasn't on the list. But I did fill out the request and guess what?

My Brolly came today. It WAS just like christmas.

Inside the package was a note:

"On behalf of Anheuser-Bush Inc., we thank you for participating in the Bass Brolly offer"

Great! I just got my gate pass to Macro hell.
