Was it something I said? Did you all have photos of that beer and that dinner you had back last March some place and you are really ticked off at the photo context prohibition on your art form? For some reason, the email has gone cold. Cold as the grave. Never you fear, though, as the prizes are still rolling in. Shipyard, ever the staunch supporter, has asked the most delightful question:

How many prizes would you like?

Beautiful.

So you have some work to do. Go through your 2009 eligible beer porn photos and start sending them in to beerblog@gmail.com. Send in your gift requests as well. And, if you hold the keys to the kingdom with a brewer, a publisher or a brewpub get them to pledge to Santa's swagbag of gifties for all the good little beer nerds. Remember - they send them directly so I don't get tempted. I am bad this time of year. Not to be trusted.

A less cluttered version of that photo to the right won a Shipyard t-shirt back in 2007. It can happen.
