Can’t make it to London to celebrate with international athletes after the games? No worries, you’ll be clinking glasses and saying cheers in languages you don’t even speak at Village Pourhouse. Learn how to say cheers in ten languages by participating in Village Pourhouse’s Drink Around the World Passport Program starting this Saturday during the Summer Olympics’ Opening Ceremony. To participate, simply go to Village Pourhouse on Friday July 27th and sign up. When you do, you’ll instantly be entered in their international beer/Olympics sweepstakes to win tickets for two to anywhere in continental United States, Canada, Mexico, or the Bahamas courtesy of American Airlines.

To complete your passport, and increase your odds of winning other awesome prizes, drink ten beers from the featured countries during the course of the two week Games. Enjoy beers from Ireland, Belgium, Mexico, and others on their individual featured nights (check out the website for the full calendar) and you could win gift certificates to Village Pourhouse, Yankees tickets, and even an autographed baseball by the one and only, Mariano Rivera!

Village Pourhouse owner, Michael Sinensky “wanted [the bar] to have an Olympic feel during the Summer Games.” This contest is a great way to showcase their international beers as well as an interactive and fun way to enjoy the liquid offerings of each featured country while watching the best of the best compete for the gold. Participants of Drink Around the World will also receive special invitations to beer events throughout the year and during the program will receive 50% off all international beers on Tuesday as well as a $1 off beer purchases.

So in honor of the Summer Olympics and Village Pourhouse raise your glass and say Proust! Or Salute! Or Sainte! Or Cheers! In any language that you know how.
