This is great!
I thought all the Canadian comps had run their course.
Hopefully further details are released soon.

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.

I just had an idea... I'm going to announce my own homebrew contest
The entry fee is $100 and a minimum of 6 beers submitted
Mail the entry fee and beer to me!

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.
