Thanks everyone for another great anniversary and great anniversary event! In the coming year I hope to continue to improve this game and make it the first choice for brewers who like to play. Before we close out this year's events it's time to give away all of the prizes that are still outstanding. So I'll just shut my yap and start announcing the winners.

First, Congratulations to Stoutman who scored the most Double Purple Hearts (15) during the event! He beat out the next closest player by 2, whew, that was a close race folks! A total of 55 double purple hearts (DPH) were recorded! A drawing was held with one chance to win for each DPH earned and the winner of that drawing is...Barleyman who managed to pull that off with only a single DPH!! Stoutman and Barleyman each win $5000 brew bucks. Nice!

Next are the rewards for the most Candy Kisses collected. For this contest the top 10 players each win $1000 brew bucks with a grand prize of $5000 going to noel in the number one spot!

Special thanks to our number one beer drinker during this event... ShoreWoodBrew who single handedly, or maybe sometimes with two fists, drank over 3500 beers! For achieving this #1 position Shore gets his choice of 3 free label credits or the coveted TBG t-shirt. Every player in the top ten wins $5000 brew bucks! These are the special folks who spent time in game and made sure that we reached the 1 million beers sold mark on time. Thank you.

Well, that's all folks. The party lights are coming down for another year. But don't worry, we will have more parties, events, and prizes in the days ahead. In fact the St. Patrick's day event is only a week or two away and it will be fun too, I promise!

I want to put out a special welcome to all of the new players who have joined the game during our anniversary party. Although it seems like a daunting task to climb up to the top in this game rest assured that any veteran you ask will tell you it's not as hard as it seems, its all done one beer at a time, so stick with us. It starts with keeping your beer in stock and visiting the pub whenever you get a chance, before long your beer will fly off the shelves and you might just make a few new friends on the way! Oh, and when the events come around take advantage of all the free stuff.

Brew beer... Drink beer... Play! What else do you need to know?
