Innis & Gunn delivers beer vending machine to lucky Edinburgh resident

Scottish brewer Innis & Gunn made good on its promise of giving away a vending machine full of beer just before Christmas by delivering the gift wrapped prize to an Edinburgh resident this week.

The brewing giant delivered the vending machine and 150 perfectly chilled cans of Innis & Gunn Lager to Edinburgh’s Mickey Higgins.

Mickey’s entry was chosen from almost 500 the brand received from lager lovers on social media looking to bag the prize.

Mickey said: “Every year since I turned 18 I’ve written to Santa asking for a vending machine full of beer for Christmas. I’m 47 now and I was starting to think it was never going to happen.

"I’m a huge fan of Innis & Gunn, particularly their lager, and I’ve not been able to stop smiling since I found out I was the winner of this fantastic prize. Thanks to everyone at Innis & Gunn, you’re definitely all welcome at my next Barbeque.”

Robb Hamlin, senior brand manager at Innis & Gunn, added: “We had a great time reading through the hundreds of entries to our competition and there were quite a few that would have made worthy winners.

"Mickey’s entry really stood out to us though, because who doesn’t like the sound of a barbeque with family, friends, laughter and award winning Innis & Gunn Lager? We would however like to apologise to any of Mickey’s friends and family who now find themselves with a hard act to follow on the Christmas present front. ”
