Poll: BeerBorg Commercial Favorite - Round of 32+, Bracket 2

Post by Crazy Climber »

Vote for your personal favorite in each head-to-head matchup.
This poll will be open for 7 days.
You can abstain from any matchup where you don't feel your vote is appropriate (unfamiliar with one or both beers, don't have a preference, etc.).
I've taken all of the nominated beers and used http://www.random.org to randomize the list, to determine the brackets.

The winner of each matchup will advance to the round of 16. The winner of the final round will be crowned as the BeerBorg.com Favorite Commercial Beer of All-Time. Or, maybe not. More like, it will be the winner of this decidedly un-scientific poll, and nothing more.

In addition to your vote, feel free to reply to this thread with your thoughts on why you voted the way you did, or any other comments about the beers involved.

Remember, it ain't rocket science - it's beer. Let the July Madness begin!

MooseDrool!

Lots of flavor to be interesting, but somehow sessionable at the same time.

This is a great voting bracket, trying to find a Commercial Favorite. I abstained from most of the brackets, but voted where I could. Mostly, makes me sad that I don't have access to more beer!

Less than 24 hours left to vote!

Pick one each from match-ups A, B, C, D. Winners move on to the Round of 16.

A) Sierra Nevada - Torpedo Extra IPA VS. Samuel Smiths Nut Brown Ale
Torpedo's in front. I voted for the Nut Brown Ale; can't argue with the "gold standard" for a popular style, IMO.

B) Big Sky Brewing - Moose Drool Brown Ale VS. Anderson Valley - The Kimmie, The Yink & The Holy Gose
The ref could step in to stop this fight at any moment. Moose Drool looks to be moving on to the next round.

C) Sixpoint Brewery - Resin Double IPA VS. Red Hook IPA
A very close contest in this hoppy head-to-head.

D) Ommegang - Rare Vos Amber Ale VS. New Glarus - Spotted Cow
Not many votes, but it's really close heading to the wire. Every vote counts!

Have heard a lot of great things about MooseDrool, but since I can't get it here, couldn't vote for it. But Sixpoint Resin is FANTASTIC!
