Beer Madness is to beer what March Madness is to college basketball. Inspired by the
Battle of the Beers on the Real Beer web site, Beer Madness is an
annual head-to-head tournament to crown the best beer in the land. Each spring, a group of beer enthusiasts puts together a list of
great beers, assigns them regions and seeds, and makes up a bracket of head-to-head matches. We then do blind tastings to determine
the winners of each beer match-up. The criteria is simple: a friend is about to buy you a beer, but it has to be either A or B;
which one do you want?
