Boxing Day 2012: The First Contest Of 2013 Is Announced
Posted by on Wednesday, December 26, 2012 in - leave a comment
Actually the last contest of 2013, too, as it will take the whole year to determine if anyone qualifies. See, yesterday TVO ran episodes of BBC2's Antiques Uncovered to fill in the gaps in the Christmas Day schedule. It was fairly interesting but at one point a small conical glass was shown on …

Hmm... sorta spilled the beans, didn't I. Details below. • This is it. The annual announcement of the Yuletide, Christmas, Hogmanay, Hanukkah and New Year's Eve Beery Photo Contest. It's an exciting time. And a welcome one even if sifting through a pile of entries and a pile of prizes is just …
All But The Prizes For Best And Crappiest O' Yule '12
Posted by on Tuesday, December 18, 2012 in - 8 comments
I don't know why I didn't think of this before. I have run this contest for years and never realized that my real goal ought to be how to make it easy for me to run. For example, in the past, I encouraged an insane number of entries. In 2008, we had over 500 entries now locked somewhere on some …

I was working away at creating the table for the Yuletide photo contest prizes for 2012 and realized that I had every opportunity to milk another post out of this gig. Really, you need to build up some suspense about these things. And, not withstanding the earlier announcement today by Twitter of …
Can I Pick My Own Golden Pints 2012 Awards?
Posted by on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 in - 8 comments
Apparently I am not experiencing enough contests in my life as Mark Dredge and Andy Moog's Gold Pints Awards for 2012 has caught my eye. Not because I can actually claim to answer all the questions posed by them so much as to see the degree to which I could even participate. I remember when my …

OK. All done. Just post the last photos and then begin the prize giving. Two weeks to Christmas which means I should have all this wrapped up by mid-February. You laugh. I get emails. People saying where is the gratuitous prize I should have mailed to me at your expense. Never mind. People have a …

Man, I am crabby. I extend the contest and go away for the weekend... and there are fifteen more emails with photos on Monday night. Bear with me. I also have Stan and an Alstrom giving me the gears, too. Maybe I am a hater? Anyway, first up? Dave of SevenPack.net sent in this photo to the right …

Prize packs and photos are still coming in. But the executive committee is demanding - right now by email as a matter of fact - that rules are rules and the contest must end today. No! No, NO... a thousand times NOOOO!!! • Time to be the grown up. Time to put on another song and bust this sock …

It happens every year. You think the contest is trickling along, the last weeks comes alone and - WHAMMO - entries flood into the inbox. I have to get these in to the ether fast so enough with the quips and waggery and let's get right into the photos. First, to the right Dave Staples sent in a …

[A note from the managing staff. My badness. Please send entries (and prize pledges) to: beerblog@gmail.com... the very email address of which the great Garrett Oliver himself once wrote "A friend just sent me a link to your site, which you must have started rather a long time ago to snag the name …
