Bottle Tournament

It all started as an idea... “why can’t we do a bracketed tournament, but like with actual beers?" Now it's an annual tradition among a group of beer friends!

[Bottle Tournament @MMBeerTourney]

Top seeds prevailed in the Final 4 and it was a battle of the #1 Seeds in the Championship! @ArclightBrewing BA Redemption Road vs @RevBrewChicago VSOJ '21 ... but only one could take the trophy! CONGRATS TO REVOLUTION'S VSOJ!

From March, to May, to the end of Summer; Madness might move around from time to time but the opportunity to slay whales and crown a champion is coming…

Any recommendations on where to order small quantity of custom taster glassware?
