Posted by on Monday, November 15, 2010 in - 6 comments
That is a photo of a beer. It was taken by Peter Bailey of Edmonton, Alberta at Sugar Beach at Kihei on Maui in Hawaii. That is the entire pool of entries to date. If the contest were over now, Peter wins it all. • It shouldn't be that way. Canadians like an effort, the struggle to beat the odds …
Gathering 2010's Yuletide Photo Contest Prizes
Posted by on Friday, November 12, 2010 in - 1 comment
People have been kind. Not to me. I see nothing of this stuff. They have been kind to you, the ambitious hair triggered photographer beer fan. The offer gifts. They offer reward. Me, I merely offer venue... and, of course, judgment. I judge your submissions as a fair judge but a singular one. You …

So, it's that time of year. The greatest post in the beer blogging calendar. While others are going on and on about blogging, I am talking contest rules. And everyone loves a contest rules blog post, right? To recap the most important point: I have 4 kids in the house for heaven's sake - and they …
The 2010 Christmas Photo Contest Is Coming!
Posted by on Sunday, October 24, 2010 in - 7 comments
I suppose I better gear up for another onslaught of Yuletide beer photography and copntest award gathering. Heck, it's two months to Christmas tomorrow. And this will be the fifth edition of the annual contest. I can't believe it but it is true - it all began in 2006. If you want to read all the …

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

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
Posted by on Tuesday, December 15, 2009 in - 10 comments
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
Posted by on Monday, December 14, 2009 in - 2 comments
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 …
