Locally based, Sara had popped into The George for lunch with her husband one Saturday lunchtime and ordered a pint of Carlsberg Brooklyn Pilsner.
The barman mentioned the competition to Sara. Having visited this part of New York on a previous trip and loved the area, Sara immediately entered the competition. “I never thought in a million years that I’d win,” says Sara.
“I then received a congratulations email on my day off work. On opening and reading it, I closed it and then re-opened and read it again. I just couldn’t believe it!”
