Saying I love you with beer
Give your sweetie a Beerquet for Valentine's Day
There's chocolates, dinner at crowded restaurant, and flowers. We say, forget the flowers and give a Beerquet. This year 99 Bottles is offering to prepare a bouquet of beer for your sweetheart.
How does it work?
 Just go online to beerquet.net and follow these two steps: (1) Answer the questionnaire, and (2) Submit payment via Google Checkout.
Then we use the answers you provide to hand-pick a selection of six premium beers, include your personal note, and prepare the Beerquet that's ready for you to pick up on Valentine's Day weekend.
What does it cost?
$20 covers a classic Beerquet, which includes six American microbrews and imported beers ranging in size from 11.2 to 22 ounces, and sales tax. You can also choose an upgrade that include either a $10 or a $25 gift card to 99 Bottles.
