47 in Beer47 has nothing to do with politics. I explain it a lot but there are 3 quick explanations: Pomona College, Star Trek, and approx square mileage of San Francisco.

If you want to make it a political thing, go ahead and hit that unfollow button.

[Mascot Battle Bracket @mascotbracket]

New pick: Chaos vs. chaos. The Billiken runs on vibes, luck, and years of inexplicable wins. The wolverine runs on 40 lbs of blind, unhinged fury. One radiates chaotic energy. The other IS chaotic energy. Luck runs out. Rage doesn’t. Wolverines will shatter the Billikens’ streak.

A husky. Loyal. Fluffy. Pulls sleds. Furman's mascot is a Paladin — a holy warrior w/divine magic, blessed armor, & a sacred sword. Sled dog vs. a warrior channeling the power of God. The husky will be a very good boy. It will also lose. Paladins will smite the Huskies.

Just read the whole thing. This one had me laughing out loud. 🍻

Queens' mascot is Rex — a lion. Purdue's mascot is a Boilermaker — a factory worker with a wrench and a hard hat. A lion has 650 PSI of bite force, 4-inch claws, and 400 lbs of apex predator. A wrench is not going to cut it. Rex will maul the Boilermakers. #mascotbracket

Saint Louis's mascot is a Billiken. A Billiken is a small, smiling, pot-bellied good-luck charm figurine. Patented in 1908. It is not alive. It has never been alive. It can only smile. Georgia's bulldog will not smile back. Bulldogs will shatter the Billikens. #mascotbracket

[Mascot Battle Bracket @mascotbracket]

A Gael is an ancient Celtic warrior. Face paint. Sword. A scream that curdles blood. An Aggie is an agricultural student. With a textbook. The textbook is not a shield. Gaels will school the Aggies. #mascotbracket

[Mascot Battle Bracket @mascotbracket]

VCU's ram: 800 lbs, curled horns, charges at 40 mph. North Carolina's Tar Heel: a person. From North Carolina. Not a warrior. Not armed. Just a person standing there. Condolences. Rams will flatten the Tar Heels. #mascotbracket

[Mascot Battle Bracket @mascotbracket]

Ohio State's mascot is a buckeye. A buckeye is a nut from a tree. It does not move. It does not think. TCU's mascot is a horned frog that shoots blood from its eyes. One of these things is literally a snack. Horned Frogs will crack the Buckeyes! #mascotbracket

[Mascot Battle Bracket @mascotbracket]

A commodore is a naval officer. Impressive at sea. This fight is not at sea. Across from him: a cowboy with a six-shooter, a rifle, and a horse. Should've stayed on the boat. Cowboys will wrangle the Commodores. #mascotbracket

[Mascot Battle Bracket @mascotbracket]

The badger is 25 lbs of pure rage. It will fight anything. It fears nothing. It is also about to face a 150-lb panther. Bravest mascot in the bracket. Still losing. Panthers will devour the Badgers. #mascotbracket

[Mascot Battle Bracket @mascotbracket]

Louisville brought a songbird to a bull fight. The cardinal weighs 1.5 ounces. The bull weighs 2,000 pounds. We will not be elaborating further. Bulls will stampede the Cardinals. #mascotbracket

[Mascot Battle Bracket @mascotbracket]

Troy's mascot ended civilizations. Nebraska's mascot processes corn for a living. A Trojan in full bronze armor will draw his sword on a guy husking corn. The corn will not save him. Trojans will harvest the Cornhuskers! #mascotbracket

[Mascot Battle Bracket @mascotbracket]

Every March Madness game. Decided by one rule: if the mascots fight to the death, who wins?

Will the Quakers even fight back? Can a Paladin slay the Blue Devils? And can anything beat the weather?

Full bracket incoming.

@StarBar_Denver @finnsmanor I know what happened. I looked it up and didn’t see food. I didn’t realize there was a food truck.

[beer47 💉💉💉🍻 @beer47]

Okay beer twitter, for Denver spots, did anybody mention Finn’s Manor? @finnsmanor

An amazing selection of wild or barrel aged sours on draft! And there’s a smashburger truck!

[beer47 💉💉💉🍻 @beer47]

@StarBar_Denver @finnsmanor Lol. It sounded familiar!

Is Beer Twitter still here? If so, what’s a good Gastropub-like spot in Denver?

I know Euclid Hall and Freshcraft are no more but I’m looking for something like that.
