    Since the powers-that-be in their infinite folly have decreed that I am eligible to register for this annual foolishness again, I am proposing a subset for the inevitable Beerneuring Challenge. The winner of my challenge will be the FS 2017 participant who can document having the the most variety of beers produced in Germany during the challenge period. Variety includes different types of beers as well as different breweries. There is no requirement that any of the beers actually be acquired in Germany. I will not be eligible to win the prize, but will try to set a good example.

    The basic rules:
    1. The beer must be by a German brewery or one licensed to produce a German branded beer.
    2. The participant must have purchased said beer, but does not have to have personally drunk it.
    3. Only beers purchased on/after 12:00:01 am 1/1/2017 and before/on 3/19/2017 by 11:59:59 pm will count towards the total.
    4. I will be the final arbiter of whether a entry qualifies and can change the guidelines of this challenge as I see fit.

    Documentation required:
    1. Date beer purchased.
    2. Place beer purchased.
    3. Name and location of brewery
    4. Type of beer, i.e. hefewisen, hell, pils, dunkel, schwarz lager, etc.
    5. Photos are welcome.

    Sample of qualifying beers currently on hand in my climate controlled storage facility (unheated basement room)

    With only one entry aside from my own, I will NOT be awarding a prize for the Safe Accommodations contest which I neglected to mention in this thread.

    Yep, I’m still awarding 2 prizes for the coldest ride, and the longest ride on the coldest day (operation deep freeze). No patches this year, but I will have something pointless to give out.

    YES! Doughneuring Prizes will be awarded. This is a No-Doughneur-Left-Behind kind of Pointless Prize.

    There will be several TOP prizes awarded, and they are cool!

    There are prizes for my in-contest challenges (Patriotic, Savory, BACON, Groundhog Day, Mardi Gras, etc.)

    There will be a Sorriest Doughnut prize, I am so sorry to say.

    Do not forget the St. Patrick’s Day Doughnut Challenge now in play!![ATTACH=CONFIG]14323[/ATTACH]

    Get all your entries posted by Monday, March 20th please.

    Eat More Doughnuts, edelweiss

    Absolutely for Points per Mile!

    The Most Viewed Team Thread prize is just bragging rights so nothing to award.

    Hmm. I think the Social Butterfly/Infiltrator thread might have the Doughneuring one beat. :o:p:cool:

    I have added this pointless prize. In fact, I still have icicles for 5 riders from last year who played this year but weren’t there to pick them up. I will bring these to the HH in addition to icicles for this year’s winners. These are extraordinarily valuable items, so be sure to get yours.

    You can proudly display yours like I do, although someone once asked why I had a narwhal horn on my bike.
