Book Review: 33 Bottles of Beer, Dave Selden and Pals
Posted by on Tuesday, January 5, 2010 in - leave a comment
I got an envelope from Dave Selden of Portland, Oregon right after the end of the end of the photo contest. In it there was a real letter on real letterhead and two copies of the booklet 33 Bottles of Beer. I should have been a lesson to me as I still haven't mailed out the three prizes I was …
Yule '09 Photo Contest: I Plain Forgot Three Prizes
Posted by on Friday, December 18, 2009 in - leave a comment
It is the scatter brained time of year. Why isn't there a mythical nutty character at Christmas time - a Loki or a jester of some sort - that captures that the business of the business of the season makes us do odd things. There ought to be - so pity me and, more to the point, Dave Selden of …

So here we are. The last post of the 2010 Good Beer Blog Yuletide Photo Contest and Marital Patience Examination. The entries have been swell and the prize givers have been even sweller - if that is possible. We have had photo entered from across North American and Europe and maybe a few points …
An Unexpected Photo Contest Prize Bonanza
Posted by on Wednesday, December 16, 2009 in - 12 comments
OK... maybe a bonanzette. But still, it was a happy surprise to received two emails today. In one, Jared, a brewer at Harpoon Brewery, confirmed that he had swung a selection of beers from that great Boston beer institution. It is a pick-up sorta gift but there is an opportunity to match beer with …
Seven More Prizes And... Well, Not Much More

I am getting vain about thee tables. I should have tables of something in every post. But what would I put in them. I can't judge photos every day and, franky, it is too hard to do even for just these three nights. This are not necessarily the seventh to twelfth best entries but they are the … read more »
Three Prizes Announced: Two UK Plus One German

Announcing three prizes tonight because I am still trying to make sure the table works and, if you must know, the Olympic torch came through town this evening. It was cool and cheesy, earnest and corporate all at the same time. Maybe like this annual photo contest. • First, however, a big shout …

Day 26: The Day Before The Day It All Ends This Yule
Posted by on Friday, December 11, 2009 in - leave a comment
It has been a placid time this Yule so far. The plan for the beer blog contest being less onerous has worked out very nicely. I know that because my wife tells me so. Thanks for your understanding as I know there is a lot of interest in the goofy idea of me making people I have never met send free …
Day 23: Only A Few Days To Go But More Pics Daily

This bit above is a detail from a picture received today from Germany. What to call it? "I Wish I Had A Cell Phone, Too" or maybe "I Really Should Leave These Two Alone"? Sums it all up really, this 21st century. Click for a larger revelation of the facial expression. I wish I had a yellow tie …
