I have MadHatter winning it all. I don’t know some of them, so I was a bit partial to the Michigan brewers. My final was Mad Hatter vs. Stone IPA.
I might actually pick up both of these and do a blind taste test. I also might go back and review these again.. haha. Too tough to pit my favorite beer styles against each other.. i want them all to win!

I can’t believe Two Hearted and Stone played in the first round. That is one tough 1st round Match-up.
