A free trip to any beer festival in US? And all I have to do is drink more beer? I’m in! 

Broad Ripple’s Union Jack has their Beer Club that most people are aware of. The “club” encourages people to try as many kinds of beer, from all over, as possible and you have a card marking your progress. The club is free to join and if you join there are awesome prizes, which I’ll get to. For official rules and info go here.

The grand prize is a free trip to any beer festival in the continental U.S.! Yep, you read correctly. You get entered into the drawing every time you complete a Beer Club card; so if you fill 3 whole cards you get entered in 3 times. To complete this quest you must try 20 beers from each region before the end of 2016. There are a few other prizes but that’s the big one. There are four regions (as stated by the Beer Club) that the beers you drink will hail from: Indiana, Midwest, U.S., and World. And no, a beer from Indiana doesn’t cover all four regions.

Union Jack always has beers rotating in and out so, really, the only challenges are getting yourself their regularly, don’t eat too much of the pizza (you’ll get full), and don’t drink too many beers in one sitting. I’ve been told by Jay at Union Jack that they have a very loyal patron who finished 4 cards last year. He deserves a crown.

I hope one of our faithful Tasting Society members gets the grand prize. Good luck all!
