Deviate Brewing - Craft Beer At Deviate Brewing, deviating from the norm is the guiding mantra that we apply to our brewery design, approach and how we create our recipes. Often craft beer is held and judged by standard guidelines, where every aspect is defined and often confined by long standing definitions. And although we can respect the talent to brew a well-made beer done to style, we believe that craft beer should be fun and push the envelope of what is traditional. Working from the fundamental foundation of a high-quality base beer, one free from defects and off flavors, we like to have fun and deviate to stretch and excite your palate.

Pet owners are allowed to submit multiple entries.

If you have multiple entries, you will need a separate photo for each and post them separately. Show only one pet in each photo. Provide a few short sentences on why your dog or cat is the coolest of the cool. Photos should be digital, in focus and sharp enough to look good on the Internet and in print. No photos of people, just your pet.

There is a $10 fee to post your dog or cat, but you automatically receive 10 votes when you enter your pet!

Pet owners are encouraged to have their friends, relatives, co-workers, anyone and everyone go to the contest website and vote for their dog.

One vote cost $1.00 with no maximum on how many votes a person can buy. For example, $4 earns you 4 votes. And you can come back and vote as often as you'd like.

Or you can take advantage of our promotional quantity discount. If you buy a minimum of 5 votes in a single transaction, you will earn an extra vote. And you will accumulate extra votes for every $5 you spend in a single transaction. For example, spend $5 and receive 6 votes (1 extra vote). Spend $20 and receive 24 votes (4 extra votes), or $100 and receive 120 votes (20 extra votes), and so on.

Pet owners themselves will be able to buy as many votes as they'd like too. (The purpose of the contest is to raise money for worthy, child- and animal-focused causes, as well as to have fun identifying cool dogs and cats.)

Proceeds from this fundraiser will be awarded to the two Zionsville Boys & Girls Clubs in Zionsville and Whitestown, the Humane Society for Boone County, Riley Children's Foundation and the Zionsville Kiwanis Club for programs that support our mission to serve children and our community.
