The Tournament of Beer

Me and a few friends of mine have put together a site about beer…it’s still in the rudimentary phases, but it’s coming along. At any rate, there is currently a 64-beer tournament of beers going on (about halfway through the first round matchups now) in which the winning beer is decided by the voters who visit the site. Please feel free to stop by and vote your favorite beers to victory…

Sweet site, TMaxwell. There’s going to be some tough matchups. I’d have to say that The Bar region is the closest matched in the tourney, and will have the most exciting Sweet 16 matchups. Bass vs. Harp in the quarter finals!

Thanks Munch…I like your signature quote…I think I’m gonna have to put that up on the site.

No Orval, no contest IMHO

Murphy’s and no Guinness?

:eek: :confused: :eek:

Arthur is turning in his grave as I type this.

They’re a #1 seed, too. They’re gonna be tough to beat.

There are some tough matchups, but there are also some that (to me anyway) make no sense. How, for example, did Labatt’s Blue manage to get matched up against Grolsch–and win?

Never mind. It looks like fun, and I’ll have to remember to check in and vote for my favourites. (hic)

Why did Leinie’s Red get a 16 seed but High Life got a 1 seed? Granted, it is the Champagne of Beers, but Leinie’s is way better!

Umm mate, where is Stella Artois - the God of Beers?
And Heinekin, beat anything? WTF?
Must be a US thing… :smiley:

It was pretty tough to seed them…and to be honest, some of the seeds were based on what I figured my old college crowd would favor. Miller High Life carried some strong sentimental support from that crowd.

Stella Artois just missed the cut. It had a weak out of conference schedule. :wink:

Doh!

Oh, Samuel Smith’s Old Taddy Porter - now there is a delicious beer.

Very cool site. Hehe Old milwaukee Vs. Anchor Steam? I cast my vote! I’ll be checking the site often.

Whoever was the idiot that voted Old Milwaukee over Anchor Steam deserves to be punished severely. I think making him drink a case of Old Milwaukee and being forbidden to drink any Anchor beers would be appropriate.

But I think Keystone Light may be the worst beer I’ve ever tried. That stuff’s just plain awful…I reviewed it in the Weekly Case Review on the site.

Very cool site! I will stop by often, though I am dissapointed in the absence of Koestritcher from your tournament. I am however glad to see a fine beer like Brooklyn IPA involved.

I’m not a drinker of beers, but there is one thing I do know:

Corona is FAR better then Brooklyn IPA! Christ! Granted, Corona doesn’t have a lot of flavor, and it would lose in the next round against red dog OR Foster…but Brooklyn IPA is just nasty shit! I tried some of that once and nearly vomited! Good lord!

Just my opinion though.

Would it be inappropriate for me to plug my beer T-shirt? :wink:

(If it is inappropriate, I hope a moderator deletes this message before I embarass myself too much…)

that’s some funny shit!

matchups now! New ones go up at noon…
