2009 “Beerku” Beer Haiku Winner

We have run many food haiku contests, but this year we settled on haiku about beer.

Our 2009 Beer haiku contest proved to be very popular. We had a large panel of judges, and thanks to you readers, every entry received at least one vote. Though the results were tight, the top choices are clear.

Runner Ups

By Les:
Happy bubbles spring
Into summer beer joy hops
Fall into the clouds

Humble Pie:
Cheap yellow beer child,
I played Deschutes and ladders
ain’t been the same since

Clinton:
It is at two pints
that he feels himself transformed
from damp clay to god

The winner by one vote is:

Karen:
Willamette hops taste
like summer: green flowers bright
and sharp as sunlight

Karen has won two tickets to the Sagebrush Classic Feast on July 18th in Bend! The proceeds from this event benefit Central Oregon children and families. I’m happy to support this good cause.
