OK, I said I would restrain myself but this is going great. Today we added the following prizes:

  • Ontario/Canada: a subscription to TAPS magazine in addition to the $40 buck certificate and t-shirt from St. Veronus, the Ontario Craft Brewer swag pack and the fantastic mixed basket of fine import beers from Roland + Russell. I am guessing the total value so far is around $325;

  • USA: Two tickets for each of the TAP New York festival in the fall Microbrew and Wine Fest both in the Hudson Valley of New York in addition to the gift pack from Flying Dog. I'd think that has to be worth around $200 already;

  • UK: A sample pack of beer from O'Hanlon's. This is in addition to the other two excellent mixed selections of beer that Stonch is offering to winners in his UK parallel universe contest. His UK contestants are also my contestants, baby. Wow. Between the two of us, there has got to be 36 beer at about 3.50 each CND for, err...around 36 beer.
On top of all that, at lease a copy of Beer & Philosophy signed by me for the winners. More prizes are in discussion and will be announced as we go along. This is going to be the best Christmas ever. And we are going to figure out a "Rest of the World" class, too, as entries are coming in from everywhere. By the way, the photo above is from Andrew Mason of the craft brewery Flossmoor Station who posted a comment earlier today. The first of many entries today. Vote early and vote often everyone.
