Leffe | Craft Your Character

Leffe knows a thing or two about character, the Belgian brewery has taken generations of beer making know-how to create the unique character of their famed Ales.

Recently the brand hit the streets of New York City to find just that, but in a man with true character. It was a mission that wrangled together 250 men that offered up stories of adventure and for some, moments that changed their lives forever.

Five finalists were chosen and the winning story came from Ryan Eberts, who after seeing a slideshow of a Bangladeshi orphanage, decided to make the trek to the country to teach English. His time in the country inspired him to write a book about his experiences and plans are in the works for another book about the history and culture of Bangladesh and the plight of its children. Check out the rest of the stories from the other finalists after the jump and for more on Leffe follow them on Twitter @leffebrewers or visit Leffe.com.

TSOVET Giveaway

Today's watch is the SVT-LX73 Share this to enter your name in the Tsovet Giveaway for the SVT-LX73 timepiece. Each day for a week we'll be posting a Tsovet watch for you to share on your Facebook profile. Once you've done that, you're all set and entered to win. And yes, you can enter everyday. Contest open to US Residents Only.

"Featuring a subtlety simplified form derived from the lines of aeronautical engineering, the SVT-LX73 is both rational and functional. As with all timepieces, a Swiss Quartz movement ensures reliable, highly accurate, and simple operation. Balancing assertive geometrical elements—the 50mm case, the six screw case back, and considerable screw-down 11mm knurled column crown— distinguishes the SVT-LX73. Its laser cut sandwiched dial with embellished numbers and indices affirm the visual identity. The SVT-LX73 offers utilitarian design and simplistic grandeur."
