ESCAPE TO SALVATORFEST

After 2020 we could all use a nice getaway. While there is still a ways to go before travel becomes common place again, Paulaner USA is hosting a great sweepstakes for a trip in 2022 to attend one of the world's best brew fests in Munich, Germany. Enter to win a VIP vacation to attend the famed Salvatorfest bier festival!

During the Middle Ages, monks in Munich's monasteries had to fast for 40 days during Lent but while restricted from consuming food they were allowed to indulge in beer. The monks crafted a beverage called ‘Flüssiges Brot’(liquid bread) that was rich in nutrients and calories along with the added bonus of being alcoholic. The first monks known for brewing these beers, the Paulaners, named their batches 'Salvator.'

Eventually drinking these starkbiers (strong beers) expanded beyond the walls of the monasteries into the city of Munich and throughout Bavaria. Enjoying Salvator became a Lenten tradition that evolved into a local starkbier festival that has taken place for generations. The brewery started by monks in the 1600s is now the largest in Munich and has transformed to a family-owned business which exports a portfolio of beers to more than 70 countries. As time has passed and the brewery has evolved, Paulaner still remembers how it started by hosting Salvatorfest during Lent.

STARGATE ORIGINS SWEEPSTAKES

Stargate is one of my all-time favorite television shows!  I've seen every episode of all three TV series (SG-1 / Stargate Atlantis / Stargate Universe ) that were spun off from the 1994 film and the franchise played a major role in maintaining my passion for science fiction through my early adult years after being a Star Wars fan as a kid. So it has been really disappointing not to have any new television shows or movies to enjoy since the last series, Stargate Universe, was cancelled in 2012 after having spent more than a decade investing my time and interest in the franchise.  So it was exciting to hear that MGM, the studio behind the franchise, has created an online streaming subscription service called Stargate Command where fans can watch all those past episodes again.

That's not all though!  Stargate Command is creating some new content as well!  They are producing a new mini-series called STARGATE ORIGINS that will only be available to view through an all-access subscription to Stargate Command.  STARGATE ORIGINS goes back in time and uncovers an unexpected adventure revolving around the initial discovery of the Stargate by archeologists in Egypt.  They must unlock the mystery of what lies beyond the Stargate in order to save the Earth from a dark threat.  I have to tell you my interest is peeked!



To promote the launch of Stargate Command, COMET TV, which is also a subsidiary of MGM,  is hosting an incredible sweepstakes.  They are giving one lucky winner the chance to come to Los Angeles and attend a private screening of STARGATE ORIGINS before it premieres on Stargate Command! But wait… The winner will also get the opportunity to meet select cast members as well!  How cool is that?! I want to win this myself!!!

CLICK HERE to enter the COMET TV Stargate ORIGINS Sweepstakes.  One grand prize winner will win a trip for two to Los Angeles, a two-night stay in Beverly Hills, two subscriptions passes to the Stargate Command Website, two passes to a private screening of Stargate Origins with select cast members and two COMET TV gift bags! In addition, one hundred Second Place winners will win a subscription pass to the Stargate: Command streaming service.
