The Battle of the Beer (Spherical 32 Outcomes) (2022)

Spherical 32 Has Formally Ended

The primary spherical (the spherical of 32) of our first ever ‘Battle of the Beers’ has formally ended. That is formally the outcomes web page of that first spherical, and the following spherical of voting (for the spherical of 16) will probably be up shortly.

There have been a number of upsets within the first spherical, however typically talking, it was a reasonably by the e-book first spherical. I’ll go over the foundations of the match, and record the breweries, after which transfer onto the outcomes of the primary spherical.

Firstly, to search out the primary spherical of voting, you possibly can click on right here: The Battle of the Beers (2022) – Spherical of 32 Voting. (And the unique article right here: The Battle of the Beers (2022)).

The Guidelines

The principles are fairly easy, and so they comply with just about the identical guideline as how I did the Battle of the Breweries. It is a 32 beer match bracket. Straight bracket, no reseeding after every spherical. The beers have been ranked by their Untappd ranking as of final evening. Within the circumstances the place the beers had the identical ranking, I flipped a coin to find out which might be the upper seed.

There isn’t any conferences, divisions, and so on. – its only one easy straight 32 beer bracket.

The principles are fairly easy, each week the match bracket will probably be posted. You go down the road up of heads up matches and choose the beers you want. You possibly can vote as soon as per day. Be certain that to share in your social media platforms to try to assist the beer / breweries you wish to win.

The voting schedule is:

• Spherical of 32: July 1st – July seventh at 11:59PM (EST)
• Spherical of 16: July eighth – July 14th at 11:59PM (EST)
• Spherical of 8: July fifteenth – July twenty first at 11:59PM (EST)
• Spherical of 4: July twenty second – July twenty eighth at 11:59PM (EST)
• Spherical of two: July twenty ninth – August 4th at 11:59PM (EST)

The choice course of is generally arbitrary (welcome to the world of The Beer Thrillers). Usually, there have been a number of easy guidelines I adopted:

• It needed to be a beer I’ve had earlier than
• It needed to have no less than a 3 star ranking on Untappd
• I attempted to select some well-known – nation extensive distributed beers, some native breweries (native to us right here at The Beer Thrillers), and some “excessive finish” / “prime quality” / “high of the road” brewery flagships.

That is clearly not an inventory of beers based mostly on any form of science. That is purely meant for enjoyable and simply to have a great time. Please depart all emotions and egos on the door.

It’s a single division bracket, as an alternative of doing two conferences of 16 every, I made a decision to make it a easy one direct division of 32. So this may make for some fascinating, and hard match – ups early on within the brackets for some. Its moderately easy, however high of the bracket is 1. vs. 32, and the underside of the bracket is 2. vs. 31. After that it alternated center of the department and stuff to maintain it considerably balanced, however within the lifeless middle of the bracket you will get some powerful early match – ups between related quantity ranked beers. (A 4 vs. a six within the second spherical, and a seven vs. a 9 as properly!)
