🍺 Pittsburgh’s Ultimate Brewery Bracket: The Sweet 16 |
|
Geeze Louise, Pittsburgh— yinz really love beer, hm? This race was fraught with close calls, early winners, and dark-horse contenders. We learned a LOT from our first round of match-ups. Scroll on for the results — and start voting now for the Elite Eight. |
|
🤔 Early potential winners have emerged East End Brewing and Hitchhiker Brewing Co. brought in more than 800 votes each in their respective races. And Acclamation Brewing wasn’t far behind. While this bracket is not here to play favorites, the incoming votes from you made it clear across the board that these breweries are forces to be reckoned with. |
😬 Some of the races were neck and neckWhile some winners were established early on, the race between Spoonwood Brewing Co. and Four Points Brewing was TIGHT, with Four Points lagging behind by a small margin. As we progress through each round, it’ll be delightful to see how Spoonwood squares up against their next opponent — Hop Farm Brewing Co. To reiterate — our bracket is not here to find the “best” Pittsburgh brewery because “best” means something different to everybody. But we are here to highlight the breweries that Pittsburghers really love and which ones you feel best represent our fair city. And what these results showed us is that there are a whole lot of excellent breweries here in the ‘Burgh. Regardless if your favorite brewery made it to the next round — show the Sweet Sixteen some love and support. 💖 🍕 + 🍺 = ❤️ Thanks again to our bracket sponsor, Caliente Pizza & Draft House. Mark your calendars because Caliente is coming to Sewickley and Crafton this fall. |
Pittsburghers really 💖 a good breweryAcross the board, we saw voters pick passionately and root for their favorite Pittsburgh brewery. You all showed your love with more than 15,000 votes pouring in. We are sure to see more tight races and victors as our 16 breweries get whittled down to eight. Vote here by 9 a.m. on Monday, July 12 to see who makes it to the next round. |
