BFF4 Second Round – Brad’s Bracket

March 25, 2011

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?

BFF4 – Brad Bracket First Round

March 21, 2011

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!
