Brew Madness

The Washington Post ran a clever piece they called beer madness, which pitted 32 American beers against one another in a blind tasting test. That’s not so unusual, what is unusual is that they ran the tests in pairs, creating a “bracket” of beer contests. The eventual winner was somewhat surprising to me – Brooklyn Lager – as were some of the results from the match-ups. Brooklyn Lager certainly had an easy start of it, being pitted against Coors in the first round, and I’m not sure how Saranac Pale Ale bested DogFish Head.

In any case, it’s an interesting way to taste test beers.
