Arin Sime - Creative Fundraiser

24th State Senate District (and Podium-endorsed) candidate Arin Sime is having a fundraiser on Friday, August 24th. It's not just any fundraiser, but a "beer tasting reception" at Starr Hill Brewery in Crozet. This is probably the first time I've ever come across a fundraiser of this nature, and a pretty creative move on Sime's part.

$50 a person...and according to Sime's website, you get "Unlimited 2oz tastings of Starr Hill beers, 2 free pints of beer, a Starr Hill pint glass to take home, light appetizers, a private tour of the brewery with Brewmaster Mark Thompson, and a warm fuzzy feeling for helping Arin Sime’s Libertarian campaign for State Senate!"

As Whackette pointed out over at Daily Whackjob, the disclaimer at the bottom of the page is a nice touch.

"Note: The Sime campaign does not encourage irresponsible consumption of alcohol, and only adults 21 years or older will be allowed at this event. Carpooling and designated drivers are strongly encouraged. If you need a ride to or from the event, or even a place to stay Friday night, we can arrange it. Be safe!"

Go out and support Arin Sime with a couple pints of local brew!

If you've never tried a Starr Hill brew, then I highly recommend doing so. Arin Sime is pretty interesting to talk to as well.
Funny thing is, last time I chatted with him I had a buzz on too. Make me wonder if that's all part of his plan? :)
