Day 14 Update: Stonch has just sent me the link to a Flikr gallery he set up to handle all the UK entries he has received. Go have a look.
More entires over at A Good Beer Blog's contest gallery and some great new prizes including our first entry from the Arctic zone of a cake being made with Guinness. Art? Maybe. Proof life can be all cakes and ales? Definitely. So come on Antarctic zone - enter!
Prizewise, here is the news:
- First,
Lucy Saunders wrote me this note:
Hey Alan, I can donate a copy of Grilling with Beer, and will sign it and ship it to the prize winner's home. The contest sounds like fun! hope you get lots of entries, cheers, Lucy
That is the very book I used to get me though the trials and tribulations of the October version of the Session on beer and food. Excellent. - Also most excellent is the moment when you get an email like this:
We would be happy to participate! How many prizes will you need?
Oh my. "How many prizes will you need" is now my favorite question in the English language. Ok, it's really "More pie?" but we don't need to go there. By the way, that was Tami Kennedy of Shipyard Brewing in Portland Maine who is providing us with three hat and t-shirt combos, including one to be shipped to an international prize winner outside of Canada, the UK and the US.
So have a look at that beer, think about what it means to you and capture that in art.

A t-shirt from a brewery I've never heard of in a country thousands of miles away? You're playing my song, man...

Alan Pugsley of Shipyard was on the Brewing Network recently (11/18). An interesting chat (warning: comes with a couple hours of aimless but sometimes entertaining banter).

Thank you.
Open-top brewing, eh?

Love Shipyard Ales; since I grew up in Maine, that's a no-brainer. We do see it in the stores here in SE USA too. Thanks for the great posts.
