As promised, NJCB is looking to do some fun things for our friends and supporters. After my recent trip to Vermont I came back with some super fresh Heady Topper from our friends at Alchemist Brewing. This being a favorite beer of mine, I felt it was only right to share with some beer loving readers.
So here’s the deal:
This is open to NJCB Members Only (again, not those cool 80’s jackets).
Submit a Haiku about beer (5,7,5 format) via Twitter (@NJCraftBeer or @NJBeerNerd), Facebook or the comment section of the post on our Website.
You are a poet,
You did not even know it,
You should go for it!
(okay, super cheesy example)
We (Team NJCB) will select our favorite 3. Each will receive a can of some yummy Heady Topper!
Contest ends next Friday, June 8 at 11:59PM.
HERE ARE THE WINNERS! You also were sent an email confirming your mailing address.
We had some really great entries in our Heady Topper giveaway and decided to add a 4th winner. Below are the winning haikus. Please confirm your shipping address via email to receive your prize.
