You remember we were giving away tickets to Jo’burg’s first ever Craft Beer Fest, right? Riiiiight?
We asked folks to tell us “why [they] love beer so damn much” over on our Facebook, @AnotherDayJhb or in the comments section. Well now we’re at that fantastical stage when we can announce who had the best reason, as well as highlight a few of the other notable responses.
We received quite a few entries under our #craftbeer hashtag.
Here are our Top 5 Honorable Mentions…
Beer making life bearable since 1985 – Vaughan Thayer
I love beer so much because its been helping me (and other white people) dance for many many years! Beer is also like eating a loaf of bread, so when i’m hungry I have a beer. I drink beer to honour my ancestors, because they drank it too! I love beer so damn much, because its cheaper than petrol! - Nic Berti
#craftbeer is like the ‘Apple’ of beer! Once u have a taste u will want to get your hands on every other craft product! – Matt Alfordiv been drinking beer since i was old enough to grab the bottle from my mothers hand. i am determined to try every beer at the fest. -Dan Apter
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? -Anna-Lisa Stapleton

And then here’s our WINNER!!!!
We know Dries Scholtz‘s entry barely even makes any sense in terms of what we asked, but here at Another-Day we like to reward people for their ingenuity, creativity, timeliness and sex appeal.
Congratulations, Dries! It’s a boy!
