Ticket Giveaway - Brew Bracket this Saturday, October 8th

Congrats to Kirk, who left the favorite comment of our judge, Mike from Brew Bracket.

This Saturday from 12:30 to 5 p.m. at the Indiana State Fairgrounds' Pioneer our Land Pavilion, the second Brew Bracket event will take place. What's Brew Bracket? I suppose the best way to describe it is that it's a hybrid of the People's Choice Awards and the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Or, if you're more into movie metaphors, it's the craft beer version of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome: Many beers enter, 1 beer leaves.

Okay, I'll stop futzing around and let Mike and Ryan, the gentlemen who have organized the event, describe it:

The Brew Bracket event features Indiana brewers each bringing the same style of beer for a tasting competition. The brewers are randomly seeded into a tournament-style bracket, and event-goers will blindly taste two beers at a time, voting for their favorite between the two. A majority vote will move that brew to the next round, with one brewer ultimately emerging as the People’s Choice Winner. The names behind the beer will only be revealed once the tournament is finished and a winner has been determined.

After the winner is announced at the event, the Brew Bracket team will publicize the results. Brew Bracket is working with local Indiana bars to feature the Brew Bracket winner as a tap selection and with local media organizations to promote the winning beer.

For this second Brew Bracket tournament, the style will be Stout.
