Thanks Cisk!

The other weekend I indulged myself in an 8 pack of small Cisk beers.  While this may seem excessive to some, I like to do my part in maintaining the reputation of the Irish as enthusiastic beer consumers, and trust me, an eight pack of 330 millilitre cans barely qualifies as an aperitif in Dublin drinking circles.

Anyway, Cisk are currently running a promotion based around football, one of those things where you find a code on the back of the ring pull and enter it into a box on their website to see if you've won anything.  Generally with these type of deals you might win a foam beer holder or some such thing which barely seems worth the effort of opening the can in the first place.



However, either somebody in the Cisk marketing department has made a horrendous error of judgement, or I managed to locate the luckiest box of beers in Malta.  As I assiduously entered the numerical code after each beer, I discovered that I had won the following:  Two tickets to watch Malta play Bulgaria in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers;  One ticket to watch Malta play Italy in what is pretty sure to be a sell-out in the same competition;  One football and one special edition t-shirt.

Once again: 'Thanks Cisk!'
