Yes, I was happy to see that. Details would be good though, if they want entries in by Thanksgiving then we only have a few weeks to get them in. Boo to that.

On the plus side, I'll now have a chance to taste my test porter before sending it off.

In their defence, it IS All About Ales. :) And Cat 6 is allowed (6-19 are valid).

It might be fun to enter the Vienna Lager as an Altbier, if the specs and taste/aroma are close.
