We’ve teamed up with gorillamask.net to give away some cozies in one of their contests.  Tell them your greatest/funniest/wildest drunken adventure that involves a 40 and you could win a pack of cozies.  Stephen has gotten the ball rolling with his own story and we can’t wait to see the winning entries.  Here is how to enter.

Be sure to check out the rest of gorillamask while you’re their, its a great site and has tons of updates every day.

UPDATE: The three winners of the 40cozy prize packs have been selected. NOt surprisingly two of them involved playing Edward Forty Hands. Go check out the sordid tales:

Paul’s Adventure with Cheech, Cheeba, Chollas and an El Camino

Casey’s  Sloppy Southern Sorority Sister Slaying

Eric’s Close Encounter of the Tird Kind

Grand Champion: King Cobra

Score:

King Cobra: 6

Colt45: 3

This was a very close competition and both malt liquors deserved to be in the Finals of our Malt Liquor Madness competition.  Both of these brew’s tone down the usual Malt-Liquor sweet taste and come out of the bottle tasting crisp and more beer-like that most of their brothers.  The King Cobra ended out on top with a slighlty better aftertaste.  In the end King Cobra is the Grand Champion of Malt Liquor Madness.

Winner: Colt45

Score:

Colt45: 9

Magnum: 0

This match wasn’t even close.  Magnum somehow made it to the final 4, it was up against Four and St. Ides – Berry Special Brew in the last two rounds but it was no competition for the crisp, refreshing Colt45.

Winner: Tilt (green)

Score:

Sparks: 3

Tilt: 4

When drinking cough syrup, are you particular about synthetics?

Winner: King Cobra

Score:

King Cobra: 6

Hurricane High Gravity: 1

Hurricane or queef?

Winner: Magnum

Score:

St. Ides – BSB: 2

Magnum: 5

Though berry nice, beer is BEER.

Winner: Tilt (green)

Score:

Olde English: 2

Tilt (green): 3

Tilt (green) earned the nickname echto-water during this competition.  It comes out of the can in an antifreeze green color and neither the flavor nor the color seems to represent anything in nature.  It crept on past the Olde English in a very close competition.  This was a flavored malt liquor versus a classic but what can you say, ginas need malt lovin too.

The brackets for 40cozy’s first annual Malt Liquor Madness have been drawn, and you can view them below or download the pdf if any of you at home would like to participate. In the coming weeks, there will only remain one dominant malt liquor champion from these sweet 16 competitors. The competition involves a blind tasting of two malt liquors and then a collective voting on which is superior and gets to move on to the next round. Here are the face offs in the first round, which will be held later this week (Thursdayish):

(Download the official bracket pdf: 40cozybracket2009.pdf) Below are the Sweet 16 contestants:

Mickey’s vs. Country Club

Colt 45 vs. St. Ides Original

Hurricane High Gravity vs. Steel Reserve

King Cobra vs. Samichlaus

Olde English vs. Tilt (Green)

Shlitz O.M.L. vs. Sparks (Black)

St. Ides Berry Special Brew vs. Schlits V.S.L.

Four vs. Magnum

…Here’s an image of the physical bracket we built:

Now some of you are going to say, “Why would you add those fruity tasting drinks like Sparks?” A few reasons. First, they technically are ‘malt liquors’ and as such we can’t discriminate. They let schools like Morehead State and East Tennessee State in the tourney, so who are we to get picky? There are many other great malt liquors out there, but after weeks of scouring the liquor stores of Southern California, these are the finest (and only) high gravity beverages around.

We’ll be posting soon after the first round, check back in to see which brew makes it to the Elite 8. If you feel your favorite malt liquor isn’t being represented, leave a comment and we’ll work them into next years contestants.

In the coming weeks we will be doing what may be the greatest thing we’ve ever done.  We will be hosting 40cozy.com’s first annual Malt Liquor Madness Tournament.  We will be pitting 16 Malt Liquors against each other and only one will emerge the champion.  In this first announcement we will be listing the contenders that will compete for Glory. On the 20th we will release the official bracket and the games will begin.
