Merry December all. I do love Christmas. And I rather like beer too, so each year, for the first 12 days in December, I team up with a whole host of breweries, restaurants, distributors and homebrew stores to bring you Africa’s biggest and bestest beer giveaway!*

(* – I have no stats to back this up but as yet no-one has challenged this statement so I am going to keep saying it).

This year, prizes will be sponsored by the following awesome brands:

 

So how do you play? It’s easy – pop back to the blog each morning, or check out my accounts on Twitter and Facebook and find out how you can win – it’s often as easy as reposting, retweeting, following and liking!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Unless otherwise stated, all prizes must be collected from the brewery/establishment.

Without further ado:

Day Twelve

First up today, Gauteng homebrew shop and long-time supporter of 12 Days, Toppie’s Brewing Co will be making two newbie brewers happy this Christmas. Enter on Facebook to stand a chance of winning one of two beginner partial mash kits. The prize includes shipping, so it’s time for people in East London, Pofadder, Bethlehem and Mussina to play!! (Or people in Cape Town, Pretoria, Joburg and Durban too…)

Don’t forget that there’s also a chance to win a spot on Brewing Beyond the Basics (3-day brewing course, value R1850) or Know Your Beer (6-week beer appreciation evening course) on offer over here…..

And now for this year’s grand prize. So far, the prizes offering the chance to join brewers for a brew day have been highly sought after, so I think you’re going to like this:

The final prize for this year is sponsored by the award-winning Mountain Brewing Co near Worcester. They’re offering a prize for serious home brewers wishing to turn pro. You and two friends get to join brewer PG at Klipbokkop Mountain Reserve/Mountain Brewing Co for a full brewday. But that’s not all – the prize includes all meals and accommodation for one night for all three of you. The location is simply spectacular – I like it so much that I will also be joining!!

Before you do anything else, please be sure to like/follow Mountain Brewing Co on whichever social media you’re on. Then find the Facebook post on The Brewmistress page and follow the instructions.

    I am still sober, it should not be hard, but I can’t find “the mad giant post” on FB. I am searching back to 2015…

        For some obscure reason my boss does not allow me to drink beer at the office, especially when a big project went live last night. It makes no sense!

          Best advice I can think of is to get a new job… 😉

    And one more thing: Collected IN PERSON, or just collected? May I send a courier company if the prize is an item?
