The ultimate craft beer bracket: Final Four

craftbrewerybracket_mar25

There were 32 craft breweries on Monday when we began the ultimate craft beer bracket. Now, the four greatest as determined by our readers remain. Out of the East Region, Southern Tier overcame The Alchemist in the first round before pulling off two massive upsets against overall No. 1 Dogfish Head and No. 2 Victory.

The New York brewer will face another Cinderella in the Final Four in Georgia brewing icon Terrapin. After trouncing Starr Hill in the opening round, the turtle struck fear in the hearts of Oklahoma’s Prairie Artisan and Tampa legend Cigar City.

On the other side of the bracket, California wundercraft Stone blitzed through Oskar Blues before knocking off heavily favored Lagunitas and the ever-present Sierra Nevada. Now, the devilishly delicious experts of IPAs will face the pride of Michigan for a trip to the championship.

Founders hardly broke a sweat on their way to the Elite Eight, brushing past Jolly Pumpkin and Great Lakes before squaring off against big bad Bell’s. The Grand Rapids brewer famous for putting breakfast in a bottle narrowly edged the Midwest Region’s No. 1 brewer and now stands just a win away from the grand finale.
