picked a pair up. thought about ordering another with a friends address but other people won't get one, so I let it go. thanks!
 
Looks like it doesn't work anymore...

"Sorry, Charlie – you can only register once for a pair of pints. However, you can visit www.georgekillians.com as many times as you like."

I've never registered to get free pint glasses...hell I have never been on their website.
 
I got a pair a while back with a horse's head etched into the bottom. I'm not saying these don't have that, but my glasses looked way different.
 
KaSaBiS said:
it does say "Limit: one (1) George Killian’s Irish Red glass and one (1) George Killian’s Irish Stout glass per person/email address/household"

I would assume that means 1 per household regardless of name/email

I guess your right, nice try though!
 
I had 2 sent to my Phoenix home, and 2 to my Detroit home. Used 2 different email addresses.
 
Site is down for maintenance. Boo. Must have gotten bombarded with requests. I'll try again tomorrow.
 
I couldn't get the site to accept my entry yesterday morning when I first heard about this. So I hope that was due to a problem that is now getting fixed, because I wants me some of these glasses.
 
Just checked again, and was excited to get the first page that asked for birth date...

...only to find this...

It's clear that everyone is excited for St. Patrick's Day! Our "Get Your St. Pat's Pints" glassware offer was a big hit. In the last few days, we saw a lot of unexpected and unusual activity surrounding the promotion and we went through our supply of George Killian’s pint glasses even more quickly than anticipated. Although the offer has ended, we're glad so many of you will be drinking Killian's in style this year. You will receive an email soon confirming whether or not you submitted your code before supplies ran out. Thanks for drinking Killian's. Cheers!

:(

Oh well. It is not like the glasses would actually ever have any Killian's in it.

Just home brew!

In other words: "Thanks to all who submitted their names, addresses, email addresses, and other personal information. We really only had a couple dozen glasses to give out and regret to inform you that you were just gamed.

While you will never see any pint glasses, look forward to receiving lots of Canadian Viagra spam offers and a little extra junk mail as we sell your information to various 3rd parties. Cheers!"
 
I am moving at the end of April, and have way too many pint glasses...probably around 200. I get them from a local bar that has a pint glass promotion every Thursday, and I generally always go...sometimes the wifey joins (which means we come home with 2). All them have brewery logos on them. After I go through them, sort out the ones I don't want, and any duplicates I would be willing to give some away. If you are in the Newnan, GA area and want some, PM me and let me know.

I'm to lazy to look it up. How far are you from St. Marys.

Spammers for viagra emails and such don't buy email lists from companies like that. I don't know why everybody thinks this is the case. Those lists can be made for free with a few simple tools. That's where emails without unsubscribe links come from.

I played with them years ago. It was possible to scan out thousands of email addresses per hour on dialup using these tools. They'd send email requests to big-name servers and if the address was invalid, the server would say so immediately. Brute force only got so many, but most spammers use large dictionary lists to much better effect.

If it has an unsub link, yeah, you were probably on a list that was "leased" to the highest bidder.
