Get Your Brew On: Design Your Own Microbrew
Alegarten is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate it than by running a user contest?
You will have until September 22nd to design your very own microbrew that will be sold at the brewery during Alegarten!
What does this contest involve exactly? You will be naming your drink, coming up with a fun description for it, designing a logo that can easily fit on a label, and deciding other fun factors such as making it a six pack or a single brewed drink. There are so many possibilities! You can incorporate NPCs from around the site into your design, such as having Lukien brew up something delicious. You could also design a drink around one of our species, like a brew strong enough to take down a mortiking! Again, the possibilities are endless. Note: Your drink should be a brewed drink such as an ale, beer, cider, lager, etc.
You do not have to draw the item; our artists will be making the official art. You can submit art for your logo or just a detailed description.
On September 22nd at 11:59pm, we will be closing submissions and opening up user voting. You will be able to vote for 5 of your favorite drink ideas. On September 28th at 11:59pm we will be closing down voting and the top 5 drinks will be created to be sold at the Brewery.
If you win, you’ll be getting a free copy of your delicious drink as well as your choice of an item from the cash shop (retired or current, though CSC cards and GAs do not count) and 15 forum shop points!
Please don’t try to create or consume any actual alcohol while participating in this contest.

@CaveAdsum @Straywillow Your information stays there so that you can update it if you see an error!
Does the drink have to be in a bottle or can it be in a glass?
I guess a bottle only because of the "brand"?

Is there any confirmation if you send your idea? I tried to send it multiple times but the site does not change! Is it up now or not?
Subeta may get more then one "try" from me, trying to get a confirmation since I got nothing when pressing the "submit" button. :(
I hope I understood the directions. I entered a description for the logo and the item. I cannot draw a logo or make one. Good luck everyone.

@Hamda @SAKE It’s being sold in the brewery and is for Alegarten, so yeah it should be a brewed (that's why we used the word microbrew) drink like ale, beer, etc.
@qarakuzi The description section is for your item description, like for the Label Lager in the news post the item description is “This lager has been specially aged for color and flavor.â€. The logo section is where you describe your logo and other information. The top of the submit page says “If you submit an image for your logo, please keep it under 2MB! If you are just writing out what your logo entails, please be as detailed as possible. Important details such as if your brew comes in a six pack, if it’s a cider or ale, if a particular NPC endorses it, etc.â€.

it does? I made mine a spirit so none defined....Does our microbrew have to be beer? Because I'm more of a wine and... sake person.

Lol i doubt i will get a mention but hey never know xD

I can't drink and I know zippo about alcohol, but that's what research is for! I think I have a rough idea, though... Off to work!
Does a ROOT beer count? Ginger Ale? Something fun and non-alcoholic? ( I know we don't actually drink on subeta haha) But I think it would be fun to have a root beer or ginger beer/ ale!
I don't drink alcohol so not sure if I would be able to come up with something appropriate but I'll give it a shot.

this might be a silly question, but does the cash shop prize also include items from CS bonus weekends (the special items you get when purchasing CSC)? i would think those wouldn't be included as they're not really "cash shop" items and are intended to be rewards for spending actual money on the site, but i just want to make absolutely certain.

I love how mortiking was referenced in this, poor dino doesn't get enough love!
But this is pretty cool though. Be interesting to see what people come up with that's for sure.

@Squid You will not get to edit your submission. I’ve had a programmer edit the information on the page to show that the “describe your brew here†is actually the item description section and the logo section should be for the other information like general feel for the bottle or like the page says “If you are just writing out what your logo entails, please be as detailed as possible. Important details such as if your brew comes in a six pack, if it’s a cider or ale, if a particular NPC endorses it, etc.â€
@Hamda I wouldn’t make that your main focus, but I don’t see why you can’t include a general bottle shape or something. If I were entering this, I would def include things about the bottle like “x glass color, x general shapeâ€.

Can we edit the description after we (hypothetically) win? I mean, for myself personally, I like a shorter item description (I have what I feel to be a good item description in my description box.) but if all that we're given to describe our brew is the description box, then I need to edit my stuff because I have more info I could put in instead.
Does this post make sense at all?
I -could- use my 500 characters to describe the brew and try to get people to vote for it, but is that description going to turn in to the item description should we win?

Um, it doesn't disqualify if I tell you I'm doing that, will it?
My fiance is in the process of homebrewing a honey porter and we just bought a 24 pack of Sam Adams Rebel IPA
(I'm 30, so I'm definitely of age to do this...)

Let's give it a go =D
...and I do realise what I put in the item description might not exactly exist yet onsite, but it very well could, and that's a pretty exciting thought :D
