Really? Interesting!

The original name of stout was stout porter. The original name of porter was entire.

Why would you be disqualified?

Conflict of interest. I can't judge my own beer and I think it would be questionable at best to judge other beers that my beer may be competing against.

I'll give it a shot, but I can't guarantee it will be ready in time. When is it due again?
