Four Beers, One Champion.
We have finally made it through the first three rounds of bracket play, and now we’re ready to crown a champion. The four bracket winners now face off in an every man for himself, fatal four way style, match up.
An exciting round of voting yesterday to get us to the round of 16. Brooklyn and Sixpoint were the big winners in the first round, both coming through with three wins. The biggest upset was Troegs Hop Back Amber Ale over the Harpoon Celtic Ale. Not so big but still significant was Sixpoint Sweet Action also over the slightly favored Magic Hat Vinyl, and the West came out strong and sent New Belgium Fat Tire on to the next round. Ithaca Flower Power surged late but ultimately it was not enough to beat the lower seeded, but nationally popular Sierra Nevada Torpedo.
Now, on to the second round.
It is March and here at the beer friends we are all swept up in bracket madness. We picked 32 beers to fight through a bracket to see which one would come out #1. Today is the first round of voting to help us decide the #1 BFFF Beer.
Here is our attempt at a Photoblog. (we have such technical prowess) Check out some of the pictures we took at the Brooklyn Dark Matter Party.

Here it is! The hangover edition of the liveblog from Barcade last night.
It was a great event all around. The brews were great and we had a chance to chat with Brewmaster Garrett Oliver. He was gracious enough to answer all our questions even the dumb ones! He even brought Ben Hudson from the brewery over so we could accost him for a few minutes as well. We really enjoyed ourselves and if you didn’t get a chance to get out last night then get yourself down to the brewery and try some of these pours. You can thank The Beer Friends later…
Update: check out the pictures from the event including our shot with the one and only Garrett Oliver, Brewmaster Extraordinaire!!!
