The Rules
In order to ensure the smooth running of the event, the following rules have had to be put into place. Failure to adhere to these rules will see you expelled from the Challenge and doomed to drink Skol for all eternity:
1 No slow coaches
We have an average of 30 minutes to get served, drink the Brau and move on to the next pub. Therefore it is imperative that we all stick to the timetable. Slow coaches will be left behind.
Please drink responsibly and have consideration for others - we have a 30 minute deadline to stick to so no sipping in order to control your intake, and by going slow you will spoil it for others.
2 Only the Brau
While lasses may prefer alcopops or Baileys, this is the Brau Challenge and so only Brau can be consumed during the course of the day. Allowances will be made for a Coke* (Diet or Regular), Sprite and perhaps even Tango should we stop at McDonalds or Burger King.
* Coke in this instance covers both Coca Cola and Pepsi
3 Only drink from the Stein
All Brau consumed MUST be consumed from a Stein. If you don't drink from a Stein, you won't look like a true Bavarian as they drink all drinks from Steins.
4 Pigtails for the ladies
If you're a lass then you must wear Pigtails. Even ugly lasses look good in Pigtails and so not only will you look a lot better than normal, but you will also look like a true Bavarian.
5 The Brau Scream & Cowbell
Upon entering a Samuel Smiths establishment there will be a celebratory ringing of the Cowbell (kindly on load from Stuart's Primary School) followed by the Brau Scream. Braumeister Bonnington will be demonstrating this prior to the commencement of the Challenge.
