We all know that when you get into a pickle, it’s generally your mates who you can rely on. Whether it’s someone you’ve known for yonks or if you met them this morning when they gave up their seat on the packed bus (true champions, honestly), they’ve got your back.
And Jim Beam has got theirs. This Friday is Mate of A Mate’s Day and Jim Beam is keen to shout out all the good mates (and mates-to-be) with a shout of their own. It’s more than just your best pals – it’s the people who make the little differences that have big impacts.
Consider for a moment, that welcome nod from the bloke in the hotted up car as you cross the road. The one colleague who elbows you when you’re dozing off in a boring meeting. The guy next door who always waters your plants so they don’t die (noted plant-killers, raise your hands). Where is their thanks? Where are their accolades?
Folks, their time has come. Jim Beam is slinging everyone a drink from 4pm* on the 14th of December, in venues all across Australia. Because good whiskey and treating people right are two of the most important things in this life, TBH.
Yep, it’s their shout, and all you’ve gotta do is RSVP and honour the message of mateship by sipping your bev with a friend – or maybe even by making a new one on the day. Either way – I’m not your boss, you do you pal.
These mates, both old and new, deserve the recognition and it’s high time they got it – and if that means you all get a drink to cheers with on the house, the more’s the better.
Obviously you don’t want to show up at a bar that isn’t slinging the bevs (coz you’re clearly obliged to pay for a round then), so here are all the joints around Oz that’ll have you whiskeyed up with your pals*:
