TACOMA, Washington bloodmobile offers beer to blood donors
TACOMA, Wash. (AP) - A Washington state blood center is offering donors a deal: Give a pint of blood, get a pint of beer.
Cascade Regional Blood Services in Tacoma says its "Give blood, get beer" promotion has worked so well that it's being expanded.
The News Tribune of Tacoma reported Monday that donors who are at least 21 years old are given a coupon for a free pint of beer.
Participating pubs and restaurants must wait at least four hours after the blood drive ends before donors can collect their free pint.
Cascade's director of donor resources Dan Schmitt says it's a fun way to get more donors, and it's good for the participating businesses as well.
A job well done fellow beer drinkers.
Mabe the Government can take a lesson here.

Samuel
Adams Partners with World’s Oldest Brewery to Push the Boundaries of Traditional
Beer Law -- New Beer Style Available Spring 2010
Germany’s Weihenstephan Brewery and America’s leading craft
brewery embark on mission to harness 1,000 years of collective brewing
knowledge
Freising, Germany
(October 21, 2009) – Dr. Josef Schrädler, managing director of Germany’s
Weihenstephan Brewery, and Jim Koch, brewer and founder of Samuel Adams,
announced today their partnership and plans to unveil a new style of
collaboratively brewed beer next spring. Weihenstephan is the world’s oldest
brewery, founded by Benedictine monks in 1040. The brewery is the
guardian of a centuries-old beer purity law called the Reinheitsgebot and it has
brewed according to this law since its beginning. Every batch of
Weihenstephan’s beer is evaluated by a panel of experts for color, aroma, froth
consistency and flavor.
Founded in 1984, Samuel Adams is an American craft beer
pioneer. The brewery’s original style, Samuel Adams Boston Lager®, helped spark
the American Craft Beer Revolution by leading a return to flavorful beer brewed
in small batches. While keeping an eye on tradition, the Samuel Adams brewers
continue to innovate and explore boundary-pushing beer styles and brewing
techniques. Both breweries share great passion for the art and science of
brewing and pride themselves on using only the highest quality ingredients to
produce award-winning, world-class beers.
