Some matchups we’ll get a huge turnout for, and for others, barely anyone votes.

We have been getting some more traffic lately, though.

There’s just no way in hell Labatt Blue should be beating Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Although, I did have a friend in high school who worked for Labatt in Buffalo (he had the greatest job on Earth…get paid to go to bars and hand out Labatt t-shirts, keychains, stickers, and buy people Lababtt’s), so he may be getting people he knows to vote for them. That’s all I can think of.

Should read “friend from high school.” I suppose it woulda been kinda strange had he worked for them while “in” high school.

Well I see the proper beers won yesterday, but it was distressingly close.

Today’s matchups, however, seem to be more in line to the way they should be, as of my voting:

Bass 6, Michelob Amber Bock 0  
Sam Adams Boston Lager 6, Moosehead 0
