It’s time for the final 4. To determine the which beers would face each other, I totalled all the votes received by each beer during the 4 previous rounds and used this to rank the beers. The totals are as follows: 1. Killian’s Irish Red, 55 votes. 2. Guinness, 53 votes. 3. Anchor Steam Ale, 47 votes. 4. Yuengling, 46 votes. Let the voting begin. Voting will continue till Sunday Morning at 6 am. 3 Anchor Steam Ale vs. 2 Guinness 4 Yuengling vs. 1 Killian’s Irish Red ---

Tough choice. Two eh beers face off, and two great beers face off. Guinness. The eh beers aren’t worth voting on. ---

Wow. Rough choice for the first one. I really can’t make up my mind, but I’ll go with **Anchor Steam** No problem with the second choice: **Yuengling** ---

Guinness for the first choice. I’m not a fan of either of the others, so I won’t vote on that one. ---

3 Anchor Steam Ale vs. 2 Guinness – my original favorite is still “on tap” for a possible victory! 4 Yuengling vs. 1 Killian’s Irish Red – only had Yuengling once when I visited Philly, but it was an excellent accompaniment to a fine seafood meal ---
