All shipshape for a beer name
ONLINE TALL SHIPS ALE VOTE IS OFF TO A FLYING START
It’s brewing up to be a winner! Our online vote to name a Tall Ships-themed ale is off to a flying start.
More than 140 votes were registered on a cracking first day of online polling.
But there’s still plenty of time for you to choose your favourite from the shortlist of 10 entries, which made it to the final round of the competition from hundreds which were submitted to the Sunderland Echo and Sun FM.
Go to the Sunderland Echo website at http://www. sunderlandecho.com, take a look at all of the shortlisted contenders and choose your favourite by clicking on it. The name which gets the most votes between now and the deadline of October 25 will be the winner.
The winner will receive a tour of Maxim Brewery, and they may even get to help out in the brewing of the Tall Ships beer.
That winning name will be revealed on November 6, but in the meantime our thanks go to everyone who has helped so far.
The Echo has been joined in the competition by Maxim Brewery (which is producing the new brew), the Sunder- land City Council tall ships media team as well as Tall Ships media partners Sun FM, which also encouraged itsownfollowerstonominate.
And, of course, there’s you the public for coming up with the names and then taking the time to vote on them.
So make sure you visit http://www.sunderlandecho. com/ to register for your favourite name. Yours could be that vital vote which helps one person win a great prize.
