Good Beer Blog Poetry Entries And 24 Hours To Comment

Posted by Alan McLeod on Thursday, April 12, 2007 in Contests, Beer Art, Language and Writing - leave a comment

Ok, now it is the readers turn. Here are the entries for the beer blog contest. Let me know what you thing:

Haiku by "mallace" - April 12. He came up with the idea for the poetry contest in the first place. He also won a prize in the last contest.
"Beer Run - An Epic Tale" by Captain Hops - 12 April. CH runs Beer Daily Haiku so has some practice.
"My younger friend likes to make meaning..." by mallace, his second entry.
"When I think about the things that piss me off..." by Steve Beauchesne - April 9. Steve is a pro-brewer at Beau's All Natural between Ottawa and Montreal.
"Wife and Boss wouldn’t agree with me this week..." by Kevin McG.
"An introduction to the bar" by Michael griffith...not Barry...Micheal...April 6.
A haiku triplet by Kevin McG. - 4 April, a second entry for him.

Did I get them all? Seven great entries and a great response for these tickets. The rule is entries are judged according to the work. Then, if the winners cannot use the tickets, the winner directs their use. And, no, I do not have the address for any frats near Hudson NY so we can't direct the tickets there. I will take any comments in the next twenty four hours and make my call Friday night. Tickets in the mail Monday.

Have a look at the commentary wiki for The Oxford Companion to Beer - and let us know if you have anything you would want to add.
