I think its time that we get this Thanksgiving celebration started, don't you? Thanksgiving is pretty much a US only holiday but I know that most places have a harvest festival of some sort and so if you hail from outside the US then just think of it as a celebration of the bountiful harvest... and those of you in the Southern Hemisphere... a spring festival!? Well, whatever, do we really need a formal reason to party? I think not with this crowd.

Ok, I'll stop yapping... I know that you all want to know what Clyde has in store for you for this event. The thing that distinguishes Thanksgiving is eating until you burst, gluttony pure and simple. So Clyde's theme for the holiday is all about serving lots of food in the pub. Pub floor pretzels have been replaced by turkey legs for you to gnaw upon. Each turkey leg grants a full ten minutes of fast drinking time. That's the equivalent of one of those giant sammiches! Clyde is also keeping track of who eats the most turkey for the duration of the event and will award $1000 in brew bucks at the end of the event to the biggest glutton.

Another important part of the Thanksgiving feast is watching (American) football. To celebrate this tradition Clyde has fixed the remotes so that only American Football games are available for the week. For every game you watch you will be credited with drinking a full case of beer toward a purple heart. A case seems right... yes? Isn't that about the average per capita consumption per football fan per game in the US this time of year? I'm pretty sure it is close.

But there is more, each time you log in you will be assigned a 'special team' from among the NFL and NCAA leagues. If you watch a game with your special team then you will win $500 brew bucks and instantly receive a purple heart. That's because we always consume mass quantities when watching a team we really care about! Don't like your assigned team? Just refresh the game page to get a new one. At the end of the holiday event the player who watches the most football will be awarded $1000 in brew bucks.

But there is more to the football prizes. For this event the game is setup to give you an NFL team more often than an NCAA team, and NFL teams will be on the tube more often... so the chances of winning are much higher if you watch NFL football in the virtual pub. But college football can be very exciting too... so to spice things up if you get an NCAA team as your pick and manage to win then the prize will jump to $5000 brew bucks. Now that's some serious cash!

To continue the celebration all Holiday Beers will be half price during keg parties and the player who sells the highest number of their holiday label will receive $1000 brew bucks at the end of the event.

And to try and get everyone to sign up their friends I will give 3 label credits to anyone who buys an $18 or more gift card for someone else and a free t-shirt to the receiver of that gift card (if they are not already a player). I hope you will give TBG away as a gift to as many friends as you can... 3 credits for you and 3 credits for them and a t-shirt for only $18 bucks now that is really a cheap gift so spread some of your holiday dough, I mean cheer this way!

Cheers!
