Since I was elected, I have been going on about getting real membership benefits in place. I'm sure most will have noticed the Membership menu with the Membership Benefits[/url:ka2s7bvt] page.
Last night, I updated that with the first new benefit. I encourage people to keep an eye on the page as it will be updated over the coming weeks. I will be updating this thread as needed too.
The latest benefit is as follows. 10% off Irish Craft Beer from drinkstore. You can either claim this in store with your membership card or online. Note that online is an opt in scheme. Tell them you are a Beoir member and include your username. You can also email <!-- e --><a href="

You may wonder why it's only Irish beers? The obvious answer is that our remit is to raise awareness of Irish craft breweries so it makes sense to encourage people to buy it. As more Irish breweries come on stream and start bottling, that 10% will grow in value.
As I said in the newsletter that went out, my intention is to make it crazy not to be full Beoir members. Almost as if costing people money not to be members <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="
