We head into our fourth and final region in round 1. This region highlights the region that The Beer Friends reside. We have done a lot of New York breweries here due to the abundant availability here in NYC. We also thought they matched up with some of the great California brews that we have done. Voting will end on Friday, Round 2 to start early next week.
Make sure you cast your vote in the East, Midwest, and West region. If you need some help deciding you can click on the links to each video for our “expert” opinion. If you’d like to tell us why one of these beers should win over the other you can tweet us @thebeerfriends, it won’t help that beer win any but we’ll enjoy it.

It’s that time of year again!
It’s Monday after the first two rounds of March Madness and, unless you were a personal friend of Andy Enfield, your bracket is probably busted. So, since you didn’t have Florida Gulf Coast University beating Georgetown it’s time to move on to your next favorite bracket.
It’s time for the Fourth Annual Beer Friends Final 4! (more…)
