2010 Beerku Contest Winner Announced

Monday, July 12th, 2010

Sagebrush Classic fans submitted so many wonderful beerkus this year, it was difficult to choose just one winner.

This year’s winner is Rachel:

Pour the twilight ale
Breath in the warm wind of night
Summer has begun

Hmm, a twilight ale is sounding pretty good right about now, thanks to Rachel’s lovely poem.

Check out all the top entries at Portland Food and Drink.com.

One of my favorites is by Brian:

Miss Spelt, Not Miss Spelled
She, a thirst quenching temptress
Please don’t tell my wife.

Thanks to the Food Dude for running a great beerku contest, and thanks to everyone who entered this year!

Beerku: Enter to win at Portland Food and Drink

Monday, June 29th, 2009

PortlandFoodAndDrink.com — the web site for Portland foodies — is hosting a ticket giveaway! The writer of the best beer-themed haiku gets two tickets to July’s Sagebrush Classic Feast.

The rules are pretty simple. It must be in haiku format. The ancient art of haiku requires precision: a five syllable first line; seven syllable second line; and five syllable third line. The best haiku features a final line that works like a friendly elbow in the ribs. We only ask that the haiku be at least loosely about beer.

We’ll collect entries July 10th, and will judge them quickly so you have time to make your plans. Everyone have fun with it! Please leave your entries in the comments or Twitter @fooddude. Entries on Twitter will be copied to PFD.
