Free ticket reason: For the enjoyment of alcohol. Nothing to do with the self-promotion that comes with the winning of said tickets.
Free ticket: Beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer beer.
I would like a free ticket coz it’s just like a regular ticket, only liberated. A ticket-of-leave, if you will. Just like the great man, James Squire himself.
Free ticket reason: Because life is too short to drink s*** beer… and it’s the only way the wife will let me go!
Its my BFF’s birthday (30th no less!) and we didn’t realise you had to buy tickets. Can we please have them for free?
As I’m working that day, I cannot go. Give me the ticket, and at least I’ll have the pleasure of denying someone else a freebee.
Because I like drinking beer.
I’d love to try some exciting new beers and take on the inspiration for my own brewing. Double Barleywine just sounds like Yum.
I would really like a free pass, because I have never tried beer and this seems like a good opportunity to start

Wig & Pen do a beetroot beer, as do 4 Pines. But they’re not listed. I wonder who’s it is?
The black pilsner would be the one from Pinchgut I reckon.
2 Brothers Guvner is a great barley wine. It’s around 10% ABV. That’s double strength for a pale but standard strength for a barley wine.
House being renovated. Living in 3 rooms with batshit crazy stressed wife and 2 kids. I really really really really need a drink (or ten).
free ticket: then I don’t have to buy my husband a birthday present.
Rather than being carbon based, I am actually a beer based life form. A free ticket to this gig is necessary to ensure my survival.
Count those words…25…no more, no less.
I want a free ticket because I like my beer to be brewed… and small… (?)
I need to convince my mate that not all Australian beer is crap.
Because I need the money for the cab home.

HopDog just tweeted that they’ll be serving Horns Up (Rye IPA), Redhopulous (American Red Ale), Cosmic Highway (American Pale Ale) & SuperBeast (10.5% barley wine)… so maybe that’s the barley wine mentioned in the post.
I don’t need 25 words; I will give you a short inebriated dance*
*more of a shuffle
I want our craft beer scene to resemble Portland’s in the USA – and to enjoy supporting its growth in the meantime
My reason: Please save me from the standard CUB beers… i want taste godammit!
Because this is about the Spirit of Australia. Local business employing local people producing great product free from corporate interference. Support your local brewer!
Because my boyfriend has trained me to like beer, mostly beers from micro breweries around Australia. So Instead of travelling to them I can visit them all in one place and then travel to our favorites (Grumpy’s, Steam Exchange, Wig and pen, that one in Fyshwick)
Hey you, beer me. Beer me always. That’s the way it should be.

… and the beetroot beer is an occasional one from Pinchgut called The Stray Root.
I’ve always loved beer, I’ve recently developed a passion for making my own craft brews. I need to absorb as much (inspiration) as I can.
Micro-brewed beer is the one and only psuedo-elitist hipster indulgence that I allow myself. Please feed my smug sense of self-satisfaction.
Already bought a ticket, and I’d like to support craft brewers, grow the scene, and introduce a friend to the wonderful world of craft beer!
In a tenuous link, the past two times I have bought home brew supplies, I have found several cans on the shelf where the yeast packet has been liberated from the fine work of the Coopers family.
Why would someone steal a 30cent packet of yeast? Surely the home bread bakers can’t be that frugal?
Thoughts please beery types …
