It’s March and everything I think of I think of in brackets! When I’m deciding what I want from the dinner menu there I am, scribbling a bracket on my napkin to decide. Usually everyone’s done with their entree by the time I reach the Elite 8. Choosing my outfit in the morning, deciding which radio station to listen to… yeah it’s a debilitating habit, but I love it.

So, here we are, I’ve picked 8 not too hard to obtain pale ales representing different regions, but reserving the South region for NC beers and the MidWest for Colorado brews. I’m planning to use a panel of 3 judges reviewing each brew head to head and blindly to determine the final four and of course the champion.

Round 1 this weekend, as we watch the 1st and 2nd round of the NCAA tourney. This will be fun!

Predictions: This is tough, but here’s how I think it’s gonna shake down, what do you think?:

MidWest: Dale’s
West: Sierra Nevada
East: Terrapin
South: CBP
