Carling Beer Amnesty

[losing.my.edge]

I've been reading up about the Carling Cold Beer Amnesty and I see this year it's going to be integrated into the 'Carling Local'.

I was wondering if anyone knows if they allow you to swap ANY brand of lager for Carling?

For example, could you give them 4 cans of Tesco Value pish in exchange for 4 cold cans of Carling?

Seems a bit too good to be true to me.

Can anyone clear this up for me?

Cheers.

yes you can trade in anything you want

it sounds too good to be true but its a clever marketing ploy from carling, it'll mean the majority of people will be walking around drinking wee 500ml adverts for their company

seen as they'll maek a fortune from the bar its a small price to pay for the amount of publicity it gets them

You speak as if Carling is a good beer to start with, I think the tesco crap is the only thing you could take to them and then call it an 'upgrade'

Cheers for clarifying that.

Agreed, Carling's not the best, but at least it's nice and cold. Makes any lager taste that wee bit better.

you can only take away 4 cans at any one time but they give you tokens for as many as you want

I wasnt limited to 4 cans last year, was down a few times and took more than 4 each time

I went 2 years ago prepared with two 4-packs of Morrisons own brand lager for 92p each. Woke up on saturday a complete mess, consoled only by the thought of swapping those cans for some cold Carling. Walked down with my mates to the amnesty and needed a piss, so left the cans with my mate and went to the toilet. When I returned, said mate had disappeared. Apparently he had just put the cans on the ground and walked away, some lucky person must have stumbled across 8 cans of pish lager right outside the Carling amnesty!

Needless to say I was devastated

Looking forward to it this year though!!
