RiotACT is pleased to announce the latest of its give-aways for premium members.

At the end of November three lucky premium members will have their name drawn out of a hat by Christoph Zierholz. They will each win a whole 10 litre mini keg of Zierholz beer to take home and to have and to hold. That’s right, we’re giving away three kegs of top quality locally produced beer.

They’ll each also get a tour of the brewery and a free tasting paddle to help them select what sort of beer they’d like to fill the keg with.

How can you be this lucky person I hear you cry?

You just have to be a paid up RiotACT premium subscriber by the end of the month. With all the other benefits, plus the chance of free premium beer, how can you resist?

















[Note: You will need to return the empty keg when you’re done with it]

UPDATED: Congratulations to our lucky winners:

  • darkladywolf,
  • meg4n,
  • chiminee

More special offers in the pipe so make sure you’re financial or you’ll miss out.

Just a warning about the beer… Once you put the tap on a keg of Zeirholz it evaporates very quickly 😉

You lucky lucky bastards! Enjoy.

Congratulations, BASTARDS!

Where’s the caring and keg sharing party going to be?

Congratulations to the winners !

I was really hopeful that I would be one of them, maybe next time.

No, but you should put a label on that, cigarettes are looking ethical and more informative than the news these days, anyone else notice???

I paid so Johnboy\Jazz\The RiotACT Cabal doesn’t just dismiss me as “One of those people who complains about a site that we provide you for free”.

Now I’m one of those people who pay them 13 cents a day to put up with my bullshit.

Gold – absolute gold!!! Same goes to free beer!

Have you still got my six-pack, Jazz??!!

If affairs of state don’t keep me elsewhere, I’ll get to that business breakfast thing on Thursday.

Er, those two statements are not necessarily linked. I don’t usually (note qualification) have beer for breakfast.

Which is also the name of a killer song by the wonderful South Australian singer-songwriter Soursob Bob (red-ragger and anti-war and social comment and bloody funny and bloody serious songs — see him at Music at the Creek next month: http://www.musicatthecreek.com)

I’ll close the door behind me.

PM, this one is open to all premium members, not just those who’ve joined since we announced it. As one of the existing premium members you are in the running too.

I became a premium member before this offer – now I want to join again!

Whatsup said :

Do we really have to wait for the end of November ?

At least it’ll kick start the festive season?

Oh thats right, the Zielholz guy lives next door to my sister.. Always wondered if it was local or just a distribution thingy 🙂

Signing up to get beer 😀

Do we really have to wait for the end of November ?

I suppose you could say I need to drink to socialise. Honestly, if I went out sober I wouldn’t have fun…

Any word on stubby holders being part of RiotGear?

Keep your eye peeled for the coffee mugs. I’m working on those and they will be available to everyone. Hats too I hope 🙂

You could always glue your pin to a coffee mug?

What a brilliant idea! That a good business idea too!

Tyler if you bothered me so much as to fraudulently exclude you from a draw I’d have long ago automatically diverted your comments to the crapper.

PLEASE don’t tell me you took that comment about excluding me from the draw seriously JB! Say it’s not true!

You’ll have the same excellent chance as everyone else who pays up.

You could always glue your pin to a coffee mug? Anyway, pins are what you get. We look forward to your business.

Some how I think if I signed up, 2 things would happen:

1. My entry somehow wouldn’t make it in the draw because JB and I don’r exactly tend to get along too well, and I waste much of his time.

or

2. JB might just be curious to meet me face to face to see if I am actually the kind of person I appear to be on RA.

Hmmm, decisions decisions. Can the pin be a coffee mug instead?

Lets just say there are pretty good odds that you might get a keg. Even if you dont drink beer it would add to a great party.

Hooray Zierholz! Mmmm, thirsty all of a sudden.

Came for the excellent news content, stayed for the promise of free beer.

I’d been “meaning to pay” for the last few months, but always had something better to spend my fiddy on. The possibility of free booze was enough to seal the deal.

Sure, you can read the RiotACT for free, but I think that having a full time editor improves the site immensely, and the man needs to be paid.

I have just noticed the “[Note: You will need to return the empty keg when you’re done with it]”, so I may be going blind, or too eager in my beer enthusiasm to read things.

So there’s some kind of prize value here, but I have no idea, as the rates are ‘quote on phone call’ for oneoff hires, and I’m lazy.

But the point is I can win free things and have Jb\The Cabal put up with my crap, while you non-premium people don’t. 😛
(And I have a stylish pin)

Sorry Skidbladnir, the keg needs to be returned after you’re finished with it.

And also, if its a minikeg to keep and cherish and do the swap and go with, the prize has a retail value of 8x premium membership value.
I can only guess at how many premium members there are, but currently that seems like some reasonable odds.

So no, don’t buy a membership, I want the beer all for myself.

thats the plan.

Will the next giveaway be something other than beer?

I paid so Johnboy\Jazz\The RiotACT Cabal doesn’t just dismiss me as “One of those people who complains about a site that we provide you for free”.

Now I’m one of those people who pay them 13 cents a day to put up with my bullshit.

I think we pay for the privilege of contributing towards Johnboy’s caffeine habit, the dandy pin and to ensure that we don’t ever have to depend on the Crimes for our local news.

‘Tis a bargain!

people PAY to look at riotact?

bahahaha

MMMMMMMMMMMM………Beer!

Pick me, pick me, pick me !
Jumps up and down with her hand in the air

beer… it would get me more friends… right?

Ah, I knew there were extra reasons beyond just the nice sticky pin and the chance to pay for the deterioration of John’s liver to be a premium member…

“She needs premium, dude… PREEEEMIUUUUM!”

I might just take up drinking beer then.

Yippee, I will drink it with appropriate neglect for my health.
