An idea for next year would be for them to print out free pint vouchers which could be given out at the door; this would allow them to govern exactly how many pints they would be prepared to give away (and have expiry dates too)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023653374988074993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-85492313859968965162013-03-20T09:06:10.163+00:002013-03-20T09:06:10.163+00:00Could do with a bit more, so.Could do with a bit more, so.The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-48307967101919505872013-03-20T02:34:39.529+00:002013-03-20T02:34:39.529+00:00DIPA was (apparently) dry hopped with cascade, afa...DIPA was (apparently) dry hopped with cascade, afaik.

The volunteers at the box office (me) <i>immediately</i> ceased telling people they could get a free pint at The Brew Dock, and I tweeted to The Brew Dock that there would be people who already had cards who would be looking to exchange them for a pint.<br /><br />I'm interested to know how you think the problem could have been fixed. What's the solution to people who had been given a card before the offer expired but didn't go to The Brew Dock until after?The Beer Nuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14105708522526153528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-20546931925562866282013-03-19T15:23:38.969+00:002013-03-19T15:23:38.969+00:00yeah the Brew Dock stopped offering but the staff ...yeah the Brew Dock stopped offering but the staff at the festival were still telling people that they would get a free pint. I saw plenty of people walk into the brew dock and be told (politely) no free pint.<br /><br />The Brew Dock did say they put it on twitter but hours later people were still asking, why someone could not have walked around the corner and fixed the problem I will never know.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12501248.post-46085463922084932882013-03-18T22:05:08.647+00:002013-03-18T22:05:08.647+00:00Well I can explain that, Anonymous: The Brew Dock ...Well I can explain that, Anonymous: The Brew Dock offered a free pint to attendees and then stopped.
