Tap Giveaway #23 Results - 2nd UPDATE

UPDATE 5/3/2025:

Matthew E. did not claim his prize, so a new winner was drawn for 5th: MGD. All winners (those selected as well as those re-selected) have claimed their prizes and this contest is now officially ended. Final results are as follows:

1st:  Vince S. -  Tiki Sangria

2nd:  Ashley P. - Lost Coast Arrgh!

3rd:  Nate S. - Spring Heat Spiced Wheat

4th:  Brian M. - Shipyard Red

5th: MGD - Not Your Father's Root Beer

This may be the final giveaway for the site. I was disappointed by the problems I had with people not claiming prizes and having to re-draw winners, which really drug the contest out and took more of my time than I wanted. It certainly felt like multiple people couldn't be bothered with reading the contest rules that were posted. I may feel differently a year from now, but right now I'm leaning towards ending this feature. If this is the last giveaway, the total numbers will be: 30 taps given away with a combined market value of over $2,000.

UPDATE 4/30/2025:

Vince has claimed his prize. Benny and Jacob did not respond to my email within the required 48 hours, so Ashley and and Nate moved up to 2nd & 3rd respectively, and I randomly drew 2 new winners:

4th:  Brian M.

5th: Matthew E.

Brian has responded but I'm still waiting to hear from Matthew. I will update this post with more details soon.

ORIGINAL POST:

Thank you to all the participants who entered the contest in order to win a free tap. There were a mind-boggling 25 entries for this contest, so I expanded the prize pool to give away 5 taps! The first name drawn has first choice from the prize pool, the second name drawn will get to choose from the taps remaining after the first is chosen, and so on. Since tap winners are ineligible to participate in future giveaways, I'm giving participants the option to decline choosing a prize to maintain their eligibility for future giveaways.

The winners, chosen at random, are:

1st:  Vince S.

2nd:  Benny J.

3rd:  Jacob B.

4th:  Ashley P.

5th:  Nate S.

All participants have 48 hours to claim their prizes. If they do not respond within that time frame, or decline their prize, I will choose a replacement winner at random.
