Number of beer cans wrapped in gold labels that Scottish brewer BrewDog has hidden in packs of Punk IPA purchased from its website. The company has reported that 6 of the cans—each worth £15,000 ($20,000)—have been found to date. The lucky “winners” will also receive £10,000 ($13,350) worth of shares in the company and a VIP tour of its brewery headquarters in Aberdeenshire.

The name “Burgundy” comes from:

A. The medieval French word for a small village, similar to the Old English “burg”

B. A nomadic German tribe which once settled in the area

C. The Latin word Burgarius which was the name for a Roman province that once extended over most of central France

D. The early French rural governing bodies which were made up of noble councilmen known as Burrs

The name Burgundy dates back to the 6^th century when a barbaric, wandering Germanic tribe known as Burgondes established a settlement in central France after the fall of the Roman Empire. They called the region Burgundia. However, even before the region was named, grapes grew in Burgundy. The area’s first documented vineyard was planted in the village of Meursault in the first century A.D.

“People who say, ‘You can’t drink the good stuff all the time’ are talking rubbish. You must drink good stuff all the time. Every time you drink a bottle of inferior wine it’s like smashing a superior bottle against the wall. The pleasure is lost forever. You can’t get the bottle back.”
