LOL! Sounds like they're populating the fridge for the office
Christmas party to me!
They have not registered it as a BJCP-sanctioned competition, and they
have not (to my knowledge) asked for any help from the local beer judge
community, so I wouldn't expect any sort of useable scoresheets back. No
mention of any awards other than the "grand prize". And.. a six-pack
of precious home brew required for evaluation?

I called
and talked to a worker. She said she thought they needed about a 6
pk. I asked, really? Yeah, that should be good. Clearly they
aren't in the habit of judging a ton of beer. That is way overkill.
If I submit I would bring maybe 3-4 bottles. I mean, come on.
Some type
of form would be filled out when you drop them off. I did not ask about
multiple entries. I have no idea of the judging criteria
either. Just, the one they like best?
The
deadline is Dec 18.
Bottles
can be dropped off at the downtown office. I don't know about shipping.
I am
guessing they don't know what they are getting into. I mean, for a prize
this great, they could be unknowingly unleashing a tsunami of entries upon
themselves, and are about to drown in waves of locally made beer.

That seems like a very vague competition. Can we ship the beer? How
many bottles do they need? When do we need to have the beer there
by? Have I missed the deadline? Are they just doing this as a scam
to get free beer?

Those are the details that The Onion has provided. You drive down
to the address shown at the bottom and drop off your homebrew to enter. That's
all the info I have and all the info they've provided.
Were you going to include any details on this, like
when and where it is??
