Default Best beer deal I have ever seen

Howdy all,

Yes yes, I know the best deal is free beer but this is the closest to free that I have ever seen.

You can get 50% off any 4-6 pack of beer (1 per day) by simply "checking-in" at any First Choice liquor outlet. This deal finishes at the end of June. Tomorrow will be my 3rd visit as I like tasting different beers.


To put it basically you need to do four things:

-Have a smartphone
-Download an app called Foursquare and join.
-Open the app at any First Choice liquor outlet and "check-in" (push the green button) before presenting your beer choice to the attendant.
-You then show the attendant the screen on your phone and they scan a barcode that they have in the back of their work folder.

Started yesterday with a Blue Tongue Lager for $7 and today was a James Squire Golden Ale for $8. Might go a Peroni tomorrow. I am limiting myself to having 2 beers per day as I could easily go overboard here

Any questions can be asked here. This is the link to the Ozbargain site where I found it.

Cheers
Mick

Haahahahah.....ahhhhhh.......I have had my bottles and fermenters "resting" for the last year as my son has been paying for beer because I help with his casual job.

Probably best not to turn this into a homebrew thread as there is already one (I should be in there discussing my next brew though)

Cheers
