Win entry to a
Beer Industry Conference
By being dirty

Written by Captain Hops.

Reference: Fizz Marketing is having a contest. “You could win a ticket to the 2010 Beer Industry Summit worth $1100! Simply come up with the best beer name that would never get approved by the Alcohol Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) and you’ll be on your way to one of the largest beer events in the industry!”

Sounds like fun. Don’t forget to read the rules at the bottom of the post.
