World Beer Awards

[Ted Briggs]

Anyone ever hear of the World Beer Awards from tastingbeer.com ?? Ive never heard of the site or thier competition. They want 195$ for an entry and I just got the mailer today (1/25) and the deadline is Feb.-5th. Im thinking--No. Comments?
Oh- and we all have rants about competitions in general, Im looking for comments on this particular one.

Ted,
I've heard of it but that's all. After ignoring them for a year, I haven't headr from them again.

World Beer Awards was put on by Beers of the World magazine (UK based) the last 3 years. They stopped printing the magazine last year but have carried on, morphing into tastingbeer.com. The competition carries on as normal...

Cheers,
Jeff

I've gotten several emails lately as well. I wish them best of luck. Sounds very similar to the World Beer Cup which is the premier event....

Ted;

We are still waiting on your $195. We also need 50 cases of your beer for taste test evaluations.

We already have your first place banner made up and ready for presentation.
See you at the awards ceremony.


Yours truly;
Al Bendova (Chairman)

"They stopped printing the magazine last year... "

Wow, don't remember seeing that in the fancy schmancy glossy entry pack I recieved. You sure about that cause I could've sworn I saw "beers of the world" on the self a few weeks ago? Although that may explain why they stopped printing it...

How the hell do they plan on letting everyone know the winners?

Same as other posters above EXCEPT:
send me your beers, keep your money, and I'll call you with the results or post 'em up on my blog.

Agreed Sulfur, not as much Brewers Cred with World Beer Awards, but the odds are better!

I'm 100% sure...
