Join Us Tomorrow (12/18) To Talk Beer & Travel on Pin-Up Live with New Belgium Brewing.

Wow, just wow! I can’t believe we are just a day away from our last Pin-Up Live of the year.

We’ve had such an amazing time sharing stories, tips and inspiration with you guys on Pin-Up Live this year. It’s seems just like yesterday that we held our first chat, holding our breath as the first question went live only to refresh and see a ton of your comments streaming in. It’s was an amazing feeling and we can’t thank you for being part of it! As I said a couple of weeks ago when we announced our Pin-Up Live with Skype, we wanted to go big for our last two chats of 2013, so we reached out to our favorite travel magazine, AFAR, to see if we could put together something special with them and they did not disappoint.

This week we are welcoming one of our favorite craft breweries to the chat, New Belgium Brewing. They will be our guest hosts and the chat is all about winter travel experiences and beer! We’ll also be telling you about an awesome contest that New Belgium Brewing is running that gives you a chance to win a trip to Colorado! Additionally, we will also be giving away two awesome gifts containing some New Belgium Brewing swag as well as a one pair of Oakley ski goggles.

So, please join us and AFAR this Wednesday (12/18) at 7 p.m. (EST) on the Pin-Up Live board to have a real time chat about beer, travel and the holiday season! You can expect a lot of Pinspiration, tips and stories flying around on Wednesday night and we would love to hear your stories too!

About New Belgium Brewing

New Belgium is the third largest craft brewer in the United States and their beer is fantastic, especially their Fat Tire! To top it off, they are 100% employee owned and passionate about being a sustainable company.

They’ve just released a new brew for the winter season called Accumulation and I’m going to try and get my hands on some before the chat so I try it for myself!

To celebrate the launch of Accumulation, New Belgium Brewing is giving away a trip to Colorado on their website! It’s a fun seek and find type contest – each week they ‘hide’ hops on their website and you’ll be entered into the contest for accumulating the different hops you find on their site. Want a peek at the game? Play Accumulate Hops with Belgium Brewing Warning: The game is fun and pretty addictive!

During our Pin-Up Live chat we’ll be sharing some clues to help you find the hidden hops!

How Do I Join In?

It’s simple  to participate in the chat,  just head on over to our Pinterest board, Pin-Up Live, which is dedicated to the event. We will be pinning inspirational travel pins to the board, each one containing a question related to beer and/or travel. All you have to do is join in on the conversation!

We will pin a question pin every few minutes and if you read or see something you like, we’d love to hear from you in the comment section of the pin. This is a way for all of us to share our travel stories in a visual way. During the chat we’ll be checking out your boards and repinning some of your items to the board as well.

The theme for this week’s chat is going to be Hoppy Holidays! Feel free to chat away–we want to hear your travel questions, tips and travel tales! Important: Pinterest does not use hashtags (#) in a real time way so in order to follow the conversation, you’ll have to be on the Pin Up Live board at the dedicated time (Wed 12/18/13 at 7pm EST) to participate. You will also need to refresh that page every couple of minutes to see the updates and new pins.

Remember to refresh!

Why Pinterest?

Ever since joining Pinterest last year, we’ve been hooked. And a lot of it has to do with the inspired ideas and photos we encounter on a daily basis.There’s a lot of incredible people on Pinterest, but no real good way to have a conversation–until now.

As avid travelers, we love sharing our travel tales and we believe the best tips and advice comes from your connections–family, friends and social networks. Pin Up Live brings the conversation to Pinterest, making it easy for people to connect and share stories, tips and beautiful images, while developing a comprehensive travel resource board that will continue to grow more robust as new topics are discussed.

Pin-Up Live is the original real time chat held on Pinterest and we plan to keep bringing you unique travel themes to stoke your inspiration and wanderlust, so please let us know if you have anything in mind you’d love to chat about. Remember, joining in the conversation is easy, just come to our Pin Up Live Board on Wednesday (12/18/13) at 7 p.m. (EST). And remember, if you’d like to be entered in this week’s drawing, all you have to do is comment on one of the question pins during the session.

We can’t wait to chat live with you this Wed!
