The winning recipe will be produced and sold by Macon Beer Company, and will be served at Macon Octoberfest 2014.
Macon Octoberfest 2013 Homebrew Contest
Macon Octoberfest 2013 Homebrew Contest
Got a big LOL out of this:
2.The contest is only for varieties of ales (IPAs, pales, porters, stouts, wheats, and browns). It is not open to meads, ciders, or lagers (pilsners, bocks, octoberfests).
This is for the Macon OCTOBERFEST
$15 per entry and each entry requires 6 bottles..... No thanks. Good luck getting folks to enter at 25% higher costs than the NHC, more than double to costs of most homebrew competitions, and requiring 3 times the normal number of bottles.
Macon Beer Company is a brewery that is starting this summer. It will not have the capacity for lagers until after the 2014 Octoberfest event. All lager styles will be accepted once the brewery can produce lagers.
....
The prize for this event is much greater than the typical contest. The winning brew will be commercially produced by Macon Beer Company and be featured at the following year's event. In addition, all proceeds from the event go to local charities. It's a good prize and a good cause.

I'm not trying to pick a fight here. I think it's a matter of context. The middle GA area didn't even have a growler retailer until last week. Folks around here would be honored to have their brews commercially produced even if by a startup brewery.
Ask yourself this:
Will a new brewery select the "Best Beer" or the most marketable beer?
