I would like to win b/c I would love to take my date to something different and fun and this is the best thing ever!
Two of my coworkers went last year and sent my texts all weekend telling me how I was missing out. It sounds fabulous! Beer and Scotch and Wine, oh my! Please pick me!
I don’t know anything about scotch, I’d love to learn more about it! Thanks for the chance, pipeline.
This is so wonderful! Every Seattle Pipeline event I have gone to has been a great success and I always support the businesses and promote them to my friends afterwards. I am a huge supporter of SIFF and would love the opportunity to go to this with my roommate!We have found that drinking out in Seattle can be a little pricey sometimes (eek, starving 20somethings!) but would love the opportunity to go.
I’d love to attend because I simply am on a search for a smokier and peatier Scotch than Lagavulin.
Sounds like fun!
I like scotch, I like whiskey and I like rye. Would love to attend one event this year pretty please.
I’d like to win simply because I am too broke to purchase a ticket :(
I would love to attend this. Im a retailer and just got out of my busy season. Time to have fun.
Love to take my partner to this. He loves Beer and scotch.
I would love to take my Dad to this, he loves a good scotch, and I am a beer man, and we don’t spend nearly enough time together, I bet he’d love this.
I’m a teacher (and love my job!) but these tasty beverages are exactly what I need after a work week. :) Thank you for the opportunity.
I would love to win as this sounds like it would be a very fun date! Never been but would like to try it out!
I love beer and scotch! what else is there in life? :)
I know the perfect person to share this with!
I love poetry, and a glass of scotch, and, of course, my friend Baxter here.
My sweet heart and I actually have someone who could watch our little guy for us so we could escape for some actual grownup time! We both love Scotch and Beer and SIFF!
I could really use these tickets to cut loose a bit and meet cool food peeps in Seattle. I have a wine & spirits background as well as culinary experience and am now opening a cheese shop in N Seattle. Pairing is my passion and this fest has it!
This festival is awesome!!
I have no money to participate in events around the area and would love to do something fun for myself and a friend! I’m a single mom who needs a little break and a chance to hang out with grown ups :)
I would love to go! I’m a girl who like scotch and beer and I actually have a babysitter lined up for those days :D
I would love the chance to win these tickets. my boyfriends birthday is coming up and I’ve been struggling to come up with a good gift. and there’s nothing he loves more then scotch and beer, well maybe me… just maybe! I’ve been scrounging since we’re tight on cash right now and I was just going to take him out for a drink that night but I know spending money on him would just make him stressed and not enjoy it as much. if I could give him this it would be the most amazing night for us both!
I’m looking for a different way to celebrate my birthday than the typical dinner/drinks out with friends. This would be a great option!
Two of my husband’s favorite things – hoppy beer and scotch! Have never been and would love to attend!
My husband and would love this! Beer and Scotch!! =D
I would love to win because I’m going to be bartending soon and want to learn as much as I can about wine, beer, and spirits so that I can be a great bartender!
I would love to win because I am an up-and-coming scotch enthusiast and I would have the best excuse in the world to come home to Seattle from Flagstaff, AZ where I attend school!
I love beer and I love scotch, it’s a win win situation.
I’d like to win because I need some education in Scotch.
I love this event – beer + scotch = best night ever.
I’ve been a scotch fan for a long time and this event looks to be amazing. I’d love to go and check it out!
I would love beer, brew my own. I love scotch, have a few bottles at home. But most of all I love drinking and meeting new and interesting people. My wife and I are expecting our first in the beginning of April, so opportunities to attend events like this will be extremely limited in my near future.
I love scotch and my son likes beer. I’d love to attend, but can’t afford to. I’m a disabled widower on a fixed income. I don’t get out much these days. It would mean the world for my son and I to be chosen. Thank you!
Forgot to mention that Feb. 18th will be my 56th Birthday! What a great present it would be to win this!
Swanky “Mad woMen” weekend? Why I’d love to! I might bring hubby if he can beat out my best girlfriend for the other ticket! Haha! Really though, from Mad Men and scotch to foreign films and wine, I love it all. It would be a pleasure to spend a day sampling, discovering and mingling with those who enjoy the same :-D!
It’s my birthday that weekend!! What better way to spend it. Plus the restaurant I work in is closing so now I have more free time :(
In the immortal words of Ron Burgundy, “Mm, I love Scotch. I love Scotch. Scotchy, Scotch, Scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly, Mmmmmm.”
I’m three quarters Scotch-Irish and one quarter Filipino. One quarter of me doesn’t quite appreciate how amazing a good Scotch is. With free tickets and drink tokens, I could help convince this part of me how amazing Scotch can be so FINALLY my entire body could enjoy a good Scotch. Do it for peace. My body needs peace. It’s tired of fighting with itself.
Two reasons I would like to win these tickets…1) I LOVE beer. And 2) I love scotch!! :)
because I was thinking about that Ron Burgandy quote before I scrolled down and SAW IT ALREADY POSTED!
I had such a blast last year that I want to go again this year…especially if it’s for free! Who doesn’t love free?! Pretty please pick me!
I went last year. This year I want to invite my good friend and his wife. They don’t get out much and this is something we can all enjoy.
This would be great for my lovely wife and me! We would enjoy the time!
I LOVE BEER!
Say hello to liquid courage!
I have YET to get over to this festival and I’ve lived in Seattle for way too freaking long. Please let me make my brothers jealous by allowing me to regale them w/ stories of all the fine scotches I’ll be sampling.
Just got emailed about this…. and thought I wouldn’t be able to go….. maybe I’ll win!
My honey’s about to go work in a different state, and before he goes, we’d love to share a (slightly) altered state drinking fine scotch and tasty beer together. This festival will make his heart grow fonder for Seattle, SIFF and me!
I would love to attend this event with my boyfriend. He actually introduced me to whiskey (I mean I knew what it was, but he got me to start drinking it), and I am so thankful for that. It is now my go-to drink and I really enjoy trying all the different types. I think we could both learn a lot at this event and also find some new, favorite brands.
I would like to get my husband out, this win should do it.
Ill be honest… its been rough this year. Ive filled myself with an inordinate amount of subpar booze. Ive lost so much because of it. An abundance of extra sick days, but more importantly ive lost the respect of my family and friends. Id use these tickets to restore that. My train has gone off the tracks and I need your assistance to right it. I cant take the disappointed look on my parent’s faces any longer. Its either get these tickets or move out of their basement and get a real job, and frankly, they’d miss me. I cant hurt them anymore. :|
I, too, would like to attend this event to drown my sorrows in your most delicious swill. I feel I deserve to win these tickets because I know the differences between as well as when to appropriately use the words there, their and they’re. I don’t think I get enough credit for this.
As a 28 year supporter of SIFF, it rocks that they are the beneficiary of this event. We’re retired now and the potential of free tickets is why we volunteer for so many organizations and events, but it would be great to be a participant at this one, my tastes run to great local micro beers and my partner to scotch so we’ll both be happy. We’re still celebrating gay marriage and want to cap our own 12th anniversary with a special event. Film, beer, scotch and fun. “Choose Me” great film also now 28 years young. CHOOSE ME!
I would love to win tickets and go to this with my best friend. It would be a nice surprise for him since he loves whiskey, and I know we would have a lot of fun.
I love beer, this would b great.
maybe with these tickets i can finally convince Bond to go on a date with me!
Beer and Scotch, what a great combo!
I’ll take my friend, who loves and knows almost everything about beer. He’s poor, unemployed, but cool. Me? I’m just the connection.
This looks awesome! My husband and I are new to Fremont and this would be a great way to become immersed in our new neighborhood! We would love to attend and then wouldn’t have to worry about driving home!! Thanks :)
Sounds like a great time for a great cause!!!
Beer is for my belly, scotch is for my brain. I love scotch, scotchie, scotch, scotch.
I need to up my liquor pallet. What a great opportunity if I won! =]
I love beer, fiancé loves scotch. It only makes sense that we attend!
I’ve (whisper) NEVER tried Scotch. I love beer, so if I try several scotches and don’t like them, I can fall back (or down! ;-) on beer. I’ll need to drown some sorrows that weekend, as my hunk of burnin’ love will be gone overseas. Too bad for him–he loves Scotch! I’ll just have to educate myself—and I promise to take a taxi home.
Id love to attend because: it looks awesome and I have not been to anything like thids
I’ve gotten a very early start on springtime romance and I would score major points with a Scotch tasting; I’m sure of it! :)
I would win some serious “my wife rocks” points if I won this… and can’t say it would break my heart to have some yummy beers. :)
I would love to take my husband to this event. I grew up in the Seattle area but my husband did not. I am always looking for fun, unique places to take him. We would love this! And it just so happens we will be on Seattle this weekend from Bend, OR. Thank you!
My husband would love to go to this……………I can be his DD for once!! :)
I would like to win because it would be fun to go and I am a long time community arts volunteer and currently an under paid substitute teacher.
I’d like to win because I’m half Scotch!
Because I’ve never tasted scotch!!–no joke, but I really want to enter the sexy and sophisticated world of hard libations!
Why I would like to attend? WHY wouldn’t I!!!! :) Its only one of Seattles best events!
I would appeiciate winning because my fiance’ is from the south nd has never been to seattle and he enjoys good beer…It would be a nice valentines event for us, being we have never really been able to afford anything extravagant on valentines…
I would love to win tickets to this. I was fortunate enough to go to The Great American Beer Fest in Denver last year and had a blast with my bestie! My best friend and I like to drink beer together and go to local breweries and beer festivals. I assure you that if we go, we would be SO MUCH FUN!
I like scotch. and I like Seattle. That’s it! :-)
I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly…
I like beer. Any winning things!
I would love to win because, not only am I a huge fan of scotch but also of the sense of community the festival itself helps foster. It will be a memorable experience, not to be missed…hopefully!
I would love to win so I can take my husband as an extra Valentine’s gift as he loves scotch and I love wine.
This would be soooo much fun!! I would love to win tickets to enjoy all the people and festivities! <3
Volunteered in the past but would love to go enjoy this year!
Sounds like a fun event and I love whiskey!!
Hops and Malts! Who could find any faults?
Hops and malts, indeed
Said she with kids to feed
Admission free for the takin’
Upon your decision makin’
Pick me said she with hope in her eyes
Award me your most excellent prize
Because who doesn’t want/need more knowledge of scotch and hops?! I certainly do.
I orgasmed a little when I saw this event…
My boyfriend loves whiskey and both of us are fans of beer. This would be a great date!
Because I’ve never been to a Seattle Pipeline event, and I recently came to the light on whiskey. Love it!
Definitely an opportunity to taste new beer and wine! Who says no to that!
I’d love to win. I like whiskey. Looks like a fun event. Love to check out some local flavors.
My hubby loves Scotch and I love Beer!
Sounds like a great time!
Pick me Pick Me!!! Im soooo thirsty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Put best by the man himself, Ron Burgundy…I love Scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Here it goes down, down into my belly! I need to get ready fro the sequel! Beer is pretty amazing as well.
I would like to win, because I am really good at Hop Scotch. When I was 9, I had a fanny pack where I kept all of my rocks designed for different types of hopping on the fields of scotch.
And speaking of fields of scotch, I think this would be a great way for me to relive my youth, but this time, with alcohol.
Oh how happy I could be with beer and how happy the hubby would be with scotch (and whiskey)! Or maybe I want the scotch and he gets the beer…hmmmm, we’ll figure out logistics if we get to go!
I have always wanted to check this out – and according the the Mayan Calendar, Clock of Giza and the Y2k computer bug if I do not win tickets the world will end…Nostradamus didn’t say anything about the scotch tasting
Scotch is my favorite type of alcohol!
The 23rd is my birthday! And also the only day I’ve have off work for two weeks straight. Would be a great night out!
Please please! :)
Yay! This sounds like a really fun event…especially with alcohol!
Because I want to find the smokiest Scotch on the planet!!
Will be a great time for a great cause!!!
I would love to surprise my sweet husband with tickets to the Hop Scotch Beer & Scotch Festival. We love excellent, local beer and fancy a fancy whiskey.
I don’t know anything about scotch and would like to learn. My best buddy loves beer. We’d have a great time.
Beer + Scotch + Whiskey + Wine = Denny
Epic Win!
SIFF’s a Seattle Star, Luv. Cheers!
I would love to win this because both my boyfriend and I work on v-day but have the weekend off, plus we like to get our drink on hehe
Been a few times in the past and have always had a good time at Hop Scotch! Would love to go again this year!
I would love to take my girlfriend out to something different, and I have never been to any beer/alcohol tasting events.
I’m not a big fan of scotch but I love beer…sounds like fun!
His wife could drink not Scotch and the Husband could drink no beer, so between them both they drank the cabinet clean. We would love to go.
Just moved to Seattle sounds like fun.
I would love to go to the whiskey lunch. A fantastic idea.
“Mm, I love scotch. I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down. Down into my belly. Mm-mm-mm.”
I’d come to the lowlands
to taste the highlands’ whisky
but only for the single malt
or blended as it might be
Would love to get to freely try a bunch of beers!
Scotch and beer Lunch sounds good to me
I like randow win contests.
I love this festival – in fact, I’m in their commercial :)
This would be the perfect birthday present for my boyfriend!
This is the best named festival- way to make you feel like a kid while drinking a fine adult libation!
Hmmmm, beer . . . . hmmmm Scotch
i need to get off this rock the San Juan are awesome but living here in the winter there is not much to do… cabin fever big time
What a fun time this will be! I Hope I win :D
Would love to be Hop Scotchin’ this Weekend with my lady!!!!! :)
I would love to win tickets to this festival! I haven’t ever heard it before until recently on the internet I’ve been seeing advertisements for it… looks super fun and I’m definitely trying to get down on some beer this weekend.
it not an everyday activity. Always fun to learn new things.especially when drinks are involved.
My friend is coming up from San Francisco this weekend and this would be an awesome way to show what Seattle can offer and to finally get her into Scotchy Scotch Scotch! (also Anchorman)
It would be “beery” delightful to hopscotch on over to the Festival!
Who doesn’t love a Booze Fest?
Beer and scotch night? Yes, please! I like watching people get more attractive as the night progresses.
