While near 101 on Saturday evening I noticed Taiwan Beer was holding a promotional event called “Booze Mania.” The event quickly caught my attention because they were giving away a free can of Taiwan Beer and cocktail to anyone who showed up.
It didn’t take long for me to take advantage of the free beer. One of the attractions at the event was a fire show.
There was juggling, fire-breathing, and the occasional fumbling.
These shots were pretty hard because I had to hold my camera above a few heads, luckily some came out alright.
After the fire show I had learned that visitors had to wait until 8:30 before receiving their second free drink. Luckily I had a non-drinking friend redeem his for me to fend off boredom for another half-hour or so.
Were there promotional models? You bet. Our first is a cheerleader for Taiwan Beer:
The Jose Cuervo girls pose:
I believe this lovely woman was one of the event planners:
Our last is a promotional model for Fruko-Schulz Absinthe. I didn’t even know Absinthe was sold in Taiwan, shows how much I get out.
I left the event after about an hour. When I left there was a trivia contest going on. I didn’t partake so I didn’t walk home with any swag.
Some great shots there Todd. Kind of surreal. Bet the Taiwan Beer tasted extra good after mouthful of fire.
i always find out about this stuff _after_ it’s over!
Thanks Mark.
MJ - I didn’t even know about it until I stumbled on it. I really need to keep track of all the events calendars floating around.
I’ve always considered Taiwan Beer to be Taiwan’s answer to Budweiser (my wife once drank seven cans of the stuff in the course of one night without any noticeable effect), but the combination of a free can and beautiful promotional models might convince me to compromise on my normally high beer standards! Nothing like this ever happens in Fengyuan!
man, i can’t belive i missed this! this is my kind of event!!!
Darn. Darn. Darn. We’re big fans of the Taiwan Beer Bar. I can’t believe we missed out! Terrific photos Todd!
Great pics Todd! I love the pic of the guy with the flaming hands. How did he do that, I wonder!
Todd, i went back for another read of this article. the photos are dynamite! you captured the fire scenes perfectly (not to mention the models, hehe) well done.
