Beer Madness
Mar 11, 2008 beer
The Washington Post’s Beer Madness is upon us once again (apparently).
Modeled after the NCAA’s March Madness, with 32 beers the tournament represents four divisions (lagers, ales, specialty & fruit, dark beers) as they go head to head to see who will remain.
At casa Burge we’ll be pulling for Avery Brewing Companies Ellie’s Brown Ale and not just for the obvious reason. It really is Ellie’s favorite beer and one of the Final Four last year.
The winner was the King of the Beer Dudes, Garrett Oliver brewmastered, Brooklyn Brewery brewed, Brooklyn Lager.
Unfortunately that’s not available in our area, but we can get the Brooklyn Brewery joint brewed Schering & Brooklyner Hopfen-Weisse which I’ve picked up at Lukas Liquor in the past.
Bring it home with the St. Louis connection, Anheuser-Busch will have a hard time eeking out some wins with their player, Michelob Lager…but not as hard as poor Miller with their cede: Miller Chill — Light American Lager “chelada style.” Yikes!
Visit the Beer Madness site, print out your bracket, and get bettin’.
