Open It! Reminder


Dust off those special bottles because Open It! is coming very soon... Friday 3 December to Sunday 5 December, get the good bottles out of the cupboard and get them open. Don’t hold back thinking that a worthy special occasion will come along soon, that you might get a new job next week, a promotion next month, win the lottery, get married, have some kids, whatever. They don’t come very often and the last thing you want is to go to that bottle in a year and find that it’s past its best. This is the chance to make a special occasion just to open that bottle.

It’s as easy as that and everyone can take part: Open a bottle or two (share them if you want – an Open It! Party) over that weekend and then tell others. Write a blog about it, tweet about it (#openit), use the facebook page or just talk to people in real life while you drink that beer you’ve been saving for ages. Do it between 3-5 December and tell us what you are drinking and how it is.

Just Open It!

This is another joint effort between me and Andy from Beer Reviews.

  5. Great idea Mark but I can't seem to concentrate on it for any length of time without thinking that the cork flying out that bottle of yours looks like a dismembered penis.

  6. Darren - You should've seen the draft of the logo before this one, it was even more penis-like and much bigger!! It was rather overwhelming. I think we've managed to get it more cork-like now although a couple of people have mentioned the cock!

  7. Kudos, sir! read this on Jay's blog, and oddly enough, I have to do that tonight! My photog buddy is coming over to take some more (hopefully better) pix, and I realized the only beer I had was cellar beer!

  8. Shared up a 2009 Heavy Seas Prosit! and a Schafly 2008 Grand Cru. Very nice.

  9. It's really unappetising picturing a cock flying out of a bottle.
