Let it snow, let it snow – Two cool contests

The Yuletide Photo Contest must be one of the very best inventions beer blogging has given us. And it’s back. There are rules, so please read and follow them. Otherwise one of these years Alan will come to his senses and then where will we go for a snow and beer porn?

Contest No. 2 has nothing to do with yule or other tides, but you can win a beer brewed in 1936. All Zak Avery asks that you do is “write something about beer and time, up to a maximum of 500 words.” (He’ll also accept videos, so you best read the rules). Figure there might be a little competition, since the prize is a bottle of beer brewed for the 1937 Coronation of Edward VIII.

More about contest No. 1: The headline and this photo (taken in Franconia in 2008) refer to Alan’s affection for photos that include beer and snow (yes, these hop bines, not beer, but you get the point). However, having observed this contest from the get-go I can tell you is a sucker for photos featuring people, beer and conviviality.

More about contest No. 2: For the announcement Zak took a picture of the 1937 bottle sitting next to a notebook computer. Shouldn’t that be an old typewriter instead?

  1. Thanks for your swell support as always. There is really only one fundamental principle: “NO BEER AND YOUR DINNER PLATE PHOTOS !!!” Nothing more disgusting that a flash shot of a greasy glob of someone else’s dinner.
