Day 6: Another Day, Another Rule And More Photos
Posted by on Saturday, November 21, 2009 in - 3 comments
I forgot a rule. What is the point of having rules if you forget them? It's not a bad rule. And it is sensible. Make sure your photos are not gia-nor-mous. See, I have a 2003 coal fired computer on the desk top. A Pentium 5 or something like that. If you send 5 pictures that are 2000 MB each, then …
Day 5: Photos And A Big Prize Announcement
Posted by on Friday, November 20, 2009 in - leave a comment
Sipping a moderately good San Marino amber ale, I am all a giggle on a Friday evening. The first entries are coming in and we have a big prize announcement. Once lucky winner in the world will receive an autographed copy of Pete Brown's excellent 2009 release Hops and Glory. I have no idea if he …
Day 3: All Quiet On the 2009 Xmas Photo Contest Front
Posted by on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 in - 2 comments
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 …
The 2009 Yule Beer Blog Photo Contest Is Launched!

It was 12 months today that I last wrote those words... except for the 2009 of course. Hard to believe that this is the fourth annual photo contest. Here are the 2008 winners, here are the best from 2007 and look way back here for the best of the first year in 2006. That is the 2009's Grand …
A Good Beer Blog's Xmas Photo Contest Is Coming
Posted by on Sunday, October 25, 2009 in - 2 comments
I have a confession. The Xmas photo contest got a wee bit out of hand last year. Over 500 hundred photos to sort through. I think it is a great thing to do and am happy to help those who need more beer gifts get them. But it got a wee bit out of hand. I have 4 kids in the house, for heaven's sake …
Contest 2009: It Should Be About Your Favorite Glass
Posted by on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 in - 8 comments
While the suggestions have been absolutely streaming in for the first beer blog contest of 2009, I have been trying to figure out what the subject should be. What will capture the moment? Worry no longer as I have made the call - I have decided that I want a photo or other depiction of your …
Swag-a-palooza '09: Pick Your Own Beer Contest Rules!
Posted by on Saturday, May 30, 2009 in - 4 comments
I am too lazy these days. Once, as an aspiring beer blogger, I would think up themes for contests on the slightest whim, pound the gift sources mercilessly and then pass it all on to you, the actual beer drinking public. Now, I wait by the door for cheques and love letters that never come, think …
Wanted: Beer Blog Yule Photo Contest Ambassadors.

Here's the thing. I have a vision for the Yule 2009 Beer Blog Photo Contest. Last year we had about 43 prizes and 524 entries. I think we can hit over 100 prizes and maybe 1500 entries. At least. Why not? Why not 200 hundred gifts...or a zillion for that matter. It could happen. Well, it could if …
All Yule 2008 Beer Blog Contest Prize Winner Notices Now Sent
Posted by on Friday, January 2, 2009 in - 1 comment
There. It is done. To say that the Yule 2008 Beer Blog Photo Contest and Rodeo was not a startling success would be an utter and complete lie. You would have to be a fibber of the highest degree to suggest that. Frankly, one peep like that and I send in the Daleks - and not the draught serving …
