I will cut the nominations off at 32, since that's a good bracketology number.

5 slots remain open - nominate your favorite now!

Good one Rick, and widely accessible. I think a lot of folks have had this one and like it.
This one could go far.

Not sure if anyone can get it, but Fat Heads Headhunter IPA is quite excellent. It's a west coast style, and won lots of medals. I think they distribute to CO, FL, VA, IN, PA, and of course OH since they live there. But I'm not sure how "deep" that distribution is. If that's too little, then ignore this one. (but if you can get your hands on some try it).

Samual Smiths Nut Brown Ale has always been a favorite of mine, and everyone can get that. You want to know what an English Brown should taste like, this is it.

Good call on the Samuel Smith's NBA, mashani. It's the gold standard for the style.

I'm a little surprised no one has put forth SNPA or Sam Adams Boston Lager, but perhaps those are now considered too "mainstream?"

There's a spot or two open - I'll probably put the first round poll together tonight!

Yep we get it down here, solid IPA.

I think both of those should be added.

No, I don't recall you mentioning Royal Crown. You should have mentioned it. I love Royal Crown Cola. It should be talked about more often. Next time, you should mention you love Royal Crown. Just sayin'

OK, I think we're full now -- perhaps even "oversubscribed" - there may be a play-in round. I'll be back online to start the poll threads once the kiddies are in bed.
