OT: Vote for Founders in the Craft Brewery Mythical National Championship
Tonight Founders takes on Four Peaks brewing out of Arizona, who somehow took out Dogfish Head to make the finals. Currently Four Peaks is leading 50.5% to 49.5% Voting ends at midnight.

Russian River not in the finals?!?! Bells and New Belgium out in the first round?!?! I call Shenanigan's.
I love Founders, but I think 3 Floyds is better.
of 3Floyds, you may be right---I'll have to do some more drinking to find out, I suppose. But I have to travel 40 miles to the Indiana border get it, as it appears to not be available for distribution in Michigan, while Founders is practically everywhere I go in Michigan now.
I think I've just talked myself into a road trip to their brewery this summer...

3F is great but when I lived in Chicago I got tired of trying to track down their beer. It should be that hard to keep Chicago full of Robert the Bruce, when it's one of your flagship beers. They make great stuff but have always struggled to fufill their relatively small distribution footprint. No one** has time to drive to Hammond every two weeks or get to Binny's at 10am on a Thursday for beer.

The fact that Dogfish Head isnt in the finals renders all results suspect to me. Has anybody here been to the brewery? Seems like that would be an awesome road trip.
1. Palo Santo Marron
2 Dogfish 90
3. Dogfish 60
I have a case (most of it anyways) of 120 which i bough last year and can only say drinking one of those is an experience one must feel to believe.
I concur, Dogfish is great. Was really the first series of IPAs that I began to like and while I have gone on to enjoy other IPAs more their beers are still great.
I think I've tried Dogfish before, didn't think it was anything special (though it's been awhile since I had it). Maybe I'll give them another shot...didn't know they were considered to be that good.
Bell's losing in the first round tells me about how reliable the results of this bracket are
I love King of the fairies, as well as the two hearted.

It will have a special place in my heart since it was essentially my gateway into the craft beer world many years ago. But...since then my taste has evolved and to me Oberon just ain't anything special. I particularly dislike the taste of Oberon when it's not super cold....the longer it sits out the funkier it starts to taste.
Also...I just emailed the meaning of Oberon...lol, indeed.
i cant believe shorts isnt even on the list. 3 floyds also deserved a bit more love

is the same place who said Craft Beer was Dead in Febuary. Consider the source.
The rest is just vapid hot takes on other people's preferences.
any of these fine establishments, but the results are bullshit.
Bell's losing in the first round???
Founder's losing to anyone other than Bell's???
The only explanation is people who know are actually out enjoying Bell's and Founder's- not voting on a brewery bracket.
