Free Condoms with your Beer
*Insert your own beer goggles joke here*
Let me start out by saying that I don’t know anything about the Horny Goat Brewing Company except that it is a brewery in Wisconsin and a really creative marketer works there. I had never heard of it before stumbling across this blog entry about the free condoms.
Naturally, I had to check out their website. It’s a slick-n-sexy tour of the brewery, the beers and a sign-up form for a newsletter and the free condom. Yes, I signed up; this is just the sort of thing one can’t turn down if for no other reason than the giggle factor.
One note, despite the wild, fun attitude the website communicates, the selection of beers is pretty tame - a light ale, a hoppy pale ale and a Belgian wit. Yup, a brewery with the goatiest marketing and branding that I’ve seen in a while doesn’t brew one bock.
Nevertheless, the site is great fun and, despite my beer geek misgivings, makes me want to visit the brewery and try their beers.
