Hello Beer Friends Nation!
Wow! This was a tournament to remember… but it’s not over yet! We had Imperial Stouts battling in Brad’s Colorado/Michigan Bracket, Newcomer Nebraska showing veteran poise in Paul’s Bracket, a California clash of Speakeasy and Stone in Phil’s bracket and a epic duel between Captain Lawrence and Cape Cod in the Northeastern Graham bracket. This was truly one for the ages. Now we are down to four, four delicious beers with huge fan bases and twitter feeds to back them up. Four beers enter and one will come out as the 2011 BFF4 champion, with their banner hung in the rafters (next the New Belgium’s Fat Tire – last years winner). Who will be victorious? You decide! This round we have completely open and unlimited voting. If you really love that beer, prove it – hit refresh (cmmd+R on a Mac or ctrl + R on a PC) and vote the day away. If you spent your March hiding your CBS March Madness broadcast window when your boss walked by – this is much easier. Polls are open until Monday April 11th at 11:59 EST. Vote often! Prove your love – and we don’t know who’s voting so no commitment issues! Beer!
For a our take on this round check out our latest video and the vote! (more…)

Hello Beer Friends Nation!
Dreams are broken and the strong move on… who ever thought the Rocky Mountain IPA had a chance against Breakfast Stout or (the biggest upset) Great Divide Yeti Imperial Stout over Bristol’s Laughing Lab, not to worry Bristol fans – Mass Transit pulled through over the strong year-round available Founder’s Porter. Can Yeti continue it’s run? can Bell’s pull through as the two seed continuing to a 1 vs 2 match-up? Vote and decide!
The 1 vs 8 match up has last year’s winner Fat Tire advancing to play 471 Small Batch IPA from Breckenridge Brewery. This is Breckenridge’s first year in the BFF4 and they had a strong showing… can they be a Butler and bring down the #1 seed?

Hello Beer Friends Nation!
It’s that time of year where EVERYONE is swept up in the madness… yes – Beer Friends Final Four Beer Bracket is BACK!
Forget Louisville in the First Round and bubble teams, we’re talking ales in the First Round and drinking the suds…
This year we (kinda) followed a regional bracket match up instead of the style like last year.
Brad’s Bracket includes beers from Colorado and the Michigan area (somehow Great Lakes snuck in there…). Vote your favorite brew through and pick that Cinderella team, sorry, stout. Pick the winner and hold it over your friends heads until the next year (Brooklyn’s Dark Matter anyone?) Beer! Voting!
The 1 vs 16 match up pits Last Years winner, New Belgium’s Fat Tire against a stout from Boulder – Avery’s Out of Bounds Stout. The Out of Bounds was delicious when infused with coffee, but Fat Tire seems like the fan favorite – should be interesting. See more of this entry for voting!

The New Belgium Brewery was founded in Fort Collins, Colorado in 1991 when the company’s Brew Master took his home brewing to the next level. Since then, New Belgium has grown into one of the more popular breweries in a state producing many top craft beers. While you can’t find their stuff out on the East Coast – yet, you can certainly find it in any store in Colorado and the surrounding states.

With seemingly thousands of varieties of beer available – this Beer Friend started to ask what’s the difference between each? The differences between a Stout and hefeweizen are obvious – but what about everything in between? The Beer Friends decided to explore this and start defining beer styles and types, but also giving our two-cents about each type. This Beer Friend starts with Amber Ale, which is my go-to beer at any bar.
