juddling Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 YORK, Va., Feb. 27 (UPI) -- A York, Va., man named the nation's top beer fan by a Colorado-based brewery has been awarded a lifetime supply of his favorite beverage. Matt Venzke, who was named the winner of the "12th Annual Search for America's Ultimate Beer Fiend," which was carried out via a series of question-and-answer sessions with contestants, won "free beer for life" from Wynkoop Brewing Co., as well as a $250 beer tab at his favorite bar and the chance to design his own custom-brew alongside the company's top brewer, the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press reported Wednesday. Venzke explained that his new found title was not based on the quantity of beer he drinks, but rather on the variety of brews he enjoys and his level of fandom. "It's not about drinking high quantities of beer, it's about enjoying the diversities of beer," Venzke said. Wynkoop said Venzke was chosen for his "humor" as well as "a combination of impressive beer drinking experiences ... and beer ambassadorship." mmmmmmmmmm....beer!!!!!!!!!!!

NorthSideSox72 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 The Wynkoop rocks. Not a bad way to win a lifetime supply - they rotate through all kinds of brews seasonally. He'll never get bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Wynkoop is indeed quite a good little brewery. Their Scottish ale interpretation in particular I really like — a very hopped up and Americanized version along the lines of the equally excellent version from Bert Grant's. And yeah, this guy is a lucky fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I've seen videos of the luckiest man in the world but they are usually NSFW and involve about 4 women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
