Stay away from the AHA Facebook page...what a bunch of bitching, whining, homebrewers. No one makes people enter their beers, yet all they do is complain about how the AHA handles the comp.

Now that they've had to halt the entries, maybe I'll have a chance to register.

Yea Agreed! I dont want to complain about the AHA. I want to complain about the guys using the shotgun approach to entering. I spent a few years working on the recipe for the TWO beers I entered. If you can enter 15 beers that have a chance at winning you need to open a brewery already.
I heard people were just registrating random styles to get spots.... What The F? I mean its your $12 or $17 bucks..
I think it should be 5 per brewer.
But this is the organization that is still using 2008 style guidelines. If the BJCP wont recognize AHA sure should. If I have to put my India Black Ale in 23 next year I wont.
/end rant

It doesn't matter what they do, some people will whine & bitch about any little thing. If they do it the exact opposite, you get others whining. It's just dumb.
