See, I'd encourage people
not to participate in that. Maybe I'm just a dick, but if I come up with a viable commercial brew I'm not about to sell it away for a $5000 one-time royalty in exchange for them using the recipe and my name / likeness / signature / image / voice in perpetuity. And the bit about them reserving the right to withold payment entirely if they determine the winner has "behaved in a manner that is substantial and damaging to the Contest or to homebrewing" -- while probably just a standard ass-covering clause that is unlike to be applied broadly and with ill-effects -- makes my bum twitch.
I can't see a problem with this,
unless you have solid plans to open your own brewery and sell your own beer. Otherwise, just the PR you'd receive from winning the contest would be worth far more than $5K. You'd likely have a shot at being a brewmaster at a decent sized microbrewery, or at least get hired on somewhere where you're on track to become that. I mean, if you don't enter the contest, your'e just brewing this wicked recipe at home and getting nothing from it, right? No brewery is likley to buy your recipe from you as an unproven homebrewer.
As far as the disclaimer goes, they'd be pretty stupid to not shell out the five grand just from a publicity standpoint. Unless you really break the rules badly, I can't see them balking on what is essentially pocket change to a company their size.

Admit it. You would piss off the stage, break the podium over your head, and fling one of the judges into the audience. Possibly while screaming "my brain has a yeast infection".

You're talking to the dude who came up with the designs for the Stormshadow and Roadblock GI Joe figures. Guess how cynical that makes someone?

Beer is about my favorite thing. Glad you're having fun with it. I'm an IPA fan myself.

Not a joke. There really isn't an explanation.
Scots Taffer on 16/7/2006 at 05:05
So I guess what the next logical step is: you showing us these designs.

Yes, you've made things all perfectly clear and self explanatory. :confused:
