The Battle of the Beers (2022) – Spherical of 32

Welcome to the Opening Spherical

Welcome everybody to my latest thought right here on the weblog. Impressed by the March Insanity event I’ve performed the previous two years, I’ve determined to try to do an analogous single bracket event for “flagship beers”. All of us just about know what flagship beers are – the beer we most affiliate with a brewery. Their full yr launch beer, the one you could find wherever (if you could find that brewery distributed), the one everybody has almost definitely had from that brewery, and many others, and many others. So I made a decision I’d take 32 flagship beers from 32 totally different breweries, and throw them right into a heads up competitors.

What could possibly be extra enjoyable within the sluggish (for beer running a blog anyway) summer season months right here at The Beer Thrillers?!

The Choice Course of

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

• It needed to be a beer I’ve had earlier than
• It needed to have at the least a 3 star ranking on Untappd
• I attempted to select some well-known – nation huge distributed beers, some native breweries (native to us right here at The Beer Thrillers), and some “excessive finish” / “top quality” / “prime of the road” brewery flagships.

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

The Guidelines

The foundations 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 event bracket. Straight bracket, no reseeding after every spherical. The beers had been ranked by their Untappd ranking as of final evening. Within the instances the place the beers had the identical ranking, I flipped a coin to find out which might be the upper seed.

There isn’t a conferences, divisions, and many others. – its only one easy straight 32 beer bracket.

As I acknowledged in yesterday’s “heads up” weblog publish about this: The Battle of the Beers (2022) Match.

The foundations are fairly easy, each week the event bracket can be posted. You go down the road up of heads up matches and choose the beers you want. You’ll be able to vote as soon as per day.
