AUSTIN, TX — Austin-area blood donors can help their favorite beer brand win popularity bragging rights while being automatically registered to win a Yeti ice chest and voucher for a free item redeemable at select breweries — all this just for donating blood.
The We Are Blood challenge dubbed the Beer Positive Brewery Challenge runs through March 16. Those donating can choose from among a list of area breweries toward crowning the winners to those receiving the most vote via donations.
