Round 1 is in the books! 32 respectable beers have been sent packing and the heavyweights are starting to face off against one another in round 2. We'd also like to thank our Beer Bracket sponsor Whiteface. Here’s your highlights!


  • Woodstock Inn sent Sea Dog packing. They now have an uphill battle against #1 seed Long Trail.
  • Rock Art downing Anchor Steam by a narrow margin. Now they face PBR.
  • Shipyard had a close match with Brooklyn but emerged victorious. Allagash awaits them in round 2.
  • Narragansett and Flying Dog each had easy rides, but now must face each other.
  • Both Magic Hat and Sam Adams take on underdogs and look to advance into the Sweet 16. Could there be a Cinderella?
  • Alchemist sneaked by Tuckerman 457 to 454!  Now the Waterbury, VT brewer faces west coast foe Sierra Nevada.
  • Geary’s and Saranac face off in what is likely to be a tight matchup.
  • The bottom of the bracket has a handful of national V local contests like Otter Creek V Red Stripe and Guinness V Wachusett.
  • Many other matchups going on. Send your favorite brewer to the sweet 16 on the Ski The East Beer Bracket.
