THE BATTLE OF THE BREWERIES: 2025 – Competitor’s List
The competitor’s list for the 2025 Battle of the Breweries
The Battle of the Breweries – 2025
Its finally here — The Battle of the Breweries (2025)! And today you get your first look at the competitors, all 256 breweries, that will be squaring off, to determine the number 1 brewery! Of course, this is all for fun, and no one is really fighting to the death. But it is a fun, yearly competition we do here at The Beer Thrillers. Similar in vein to that of the NCAA March Madness.
Each year we do things slightly different. This year is our biggest yet, with 256 competing breweries from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, South Carolina, Arizona, Nevada, and Washington D.C. Each year we get to visit more and more breweries, adding more and more breweries to our roster of possible competitors.
The rules for the competition are pretty straight forward. Breweries are only eligible if: we have physically visited one of their brewery or taproom locations. This goes for any of the writers on the staff – Ben, Amy, Josh, Paul. After that, we pick which breweries we want in the competition out of the full list of all possible breweries we’ve been to, and from there, each brewery is randomly assigned to one of four conferences. Each conference has 64 breweries. And the conferences are set up like NCAA March Madness bracket style. 1st seed vs. 64th seed, 2nd seed vs. 63rd seed, etc.
After each round, the winners move on. So first round will be all four conferences, Round of 64, then the round of 32, then the round of 16, then round of 8, then the round of 4, finally for each conference the round of 2 to determine the conference winner. After that, we take the winner of each conference and have them face off in a Fatal Four-Way to determine the overall winner of this year’s Battle of the Breweries!
Seeding is by global average Untappd rating. The higher the Untappd rating, the higher the seeding. So a 5.00 Untappd rating would be a 1 seed, and a .001 Untappd rating would be a 64 seed. (Obviously no brewery has either of those two ratings.)
The tournament will be starting on Monday, February 17th, 2025.

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:
We are also working on a project of creating printable and downloadable PDFs and resources to be able to check and keep track of all of the breweries you’ve been to. So stay tuned for that project once we are finished with the Brewery Maps of the US States.
