You can find the brewery maps here:

The Beer Thrillers Discord Server

Hey all! We are getting hip, young, and cool here at The Beer Thrillers. You can now find us on Discord! Yes, thats right, we now have our own Discord Server!

I’ve been fiddling with this and trying to get it set up for a while, and now its finally here!

• The Beer Thrillers – Discord Server

Discord is a great way to stay in touch, chat, and keep talking in a more loose and informal manner. Its a fun way to talk about craft beer, breweries, and all kinds of other things.

At our server, you will find channels for the following:

• general
• our – content
• cheers
• breweries
• local – watering – hole – breweries
• literature
• gaming
• nerd – culture
• a – pint – at – the – movies
• beer – swag
• show – your – content

So lots of fun channels to hang out in and talk with each other.

Rules

Of course there is some rules to the use of the Discord server. And most of these are the obvious type of ones.

• 21+ For any Beer Discussion
• Be polite. At all times. Be polite. Just be kind to each other.
• No hate speech. Of any sort.
• Keep religious and political discussion to an absolute bare minimum
• The Beer Thrillers have the right to block, delete, or remove anyone or any post from the server
• No spam. There is a “show your content” server, you can post in there, but do so sparingly, and conscientiously
• Again: Be Civil. If you can’t be. Then don’t contribute, don’t chat, and just recuse yourself from discussion and the server.
• And most importantly – have fun!

There are lots of features on the Discord server, like uploading your own pictures, audio, video, and PDFs, as well as sharing internet GIFs and memes and links. This should be a great way for our community to grow, and have fun with each other.

I can’t wait til everyone is on board, having fun, toasting each other’s beers, and having a great time!

LinkTree

You can find The Beer Thrillers on LinkTree now as well. This is an easy and great way for us to showcase a group of our links in one go. Makes things easier on places like Instagram, Facebook, Discord, and elsewhere. You can find our LinkTree page here:

Voting

So, messing around with the different plug ins and templates here on the blog, found out I can condense all the conferences into one spot and let you vote for everything all in one place.

So on top of the individual conference pages where you can vote, you can also vote right here for all of the conferences in one go.

This should make things easier having it all in one spot. You can still see the individual conference pages right here:

• The Battle of the Breweries (2023) – Chinook Conference: Group Stage
• The Battle of the Breweries (2023) – Nugget Conference: Group Stage
• The Battle of the Breweries (2023) – Saaz Conference: Group Stage
• The Battle of the Breweries (2023) – Walhalla Conference: Group Stage

As an added bonus, if you vote from this page, as well as vote from the individual page, you can vote twice per day.

Chinook Conference: Group Stage

Nugget Conference: Group Stage

Saaz Conference: Group Stage

Walhalla Conference: Group Stage

Recap / Rehash

For those who missed whats going on, you can find the recap here (from the previous individual conference group pages):

The Battle of the Breweries – 2023

Its now time to start the tournament off! Today is the first day of voting (February 27th, 2023). Each week of voting (until the finals) lasts one week, and will go from the Monday that voting starts, until the next Sunday at 11:59:59 PM. So this week’s round of voting – the Conference Group Stage – will last until Sunday March 5th, 2023 11:59:59 PM EST.

You can read the overview articles here:

• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Overview and Rules
• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Conferences and Group Stage Overview

The general gist:

The group round will be the same structure as the World Cup’s – the top two “teams” (ie. breweries) with the most points (ie. most votes) move on to the tournament. The big difference is that each group will be five breweries instead of the four teams in the World Cup.

The tournament structure is pretty straight forward. Four conferences of 16 breweries. The groups will be kept for the conferences, so each conference will have 8 groups that are locked in for that conference. After the group round ends, and the breweries advance, I will seed them based on their Untappd scores. (So a 4.04 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 1 Seed, whereas a 3.31 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 16 seed.)

The tournament then runs linear similar to NCAA’s March Madness and other similar bracket tournaments. 16 vs. 1, 15 vs. 2, 14 vs. 3, 13 vs. 4, etc. The winner of each conference will then face off in a fatal four – way to determine the true champion of The Beer Thrillers’ Battle of the Breweries (2023).

Past Tournament Announcement Posts:

• March Madness (2021) – The Beer Thrillers Way
• March Madness (2022) – Bigger, Bolder, Badder – The Battle of the Breweries

Voting

Here’s what you’ve been waiting for! Lets kick this tournament off and start the voting!

Voting lasts from now – Monday February 27th, 2023 – whenever this post goes live – until Sunday March 5th, 2023 at 11:59:59 PM EST.

You can vote once per day, so be sure to share the voting pages with as many people as possible to help your favorite breweries out. In the group stage you have a multiple choice for each group. Pick the breweries you want to see move on. The top two from each group will advance. (So I recommend only voting for two per group.)

Results

The results will be posted early Monday morning next week (think 8 AM til 10 AM) (March 6th, 2023). After the results pages go up, we will then post the new pages for voting.

Recap on the Conferences and Groups

For a full listing of the conferences and groups, you can read the list here:

Those hop names and thus the conference names are:

Thanks For Reading

Thank you all for reading and bearing with me this morning. Trying to get these voting articles up as quickly and smoothly as I can while dealing with a teething three month old (yes… teething at three months old). Scarlet has been a little bear the last few days. I fell asleep last night / this morning around 3:45 AM and woke up at 6:45 AM. Amy was also up with her a bit during the night. So its certainly been a trying time.

Don’t worry though, we will keep the voting and results articles coming.

Also, don’t worry – just because we are hosting our annual “Battle of the Breweries” doesn’t mean we’ll stop posting other articles. You can be sure of that! There will be plenty of articles still coming, so be sure to check out the blog frequently.

I have re – vamped the look and layout of the site, hopefully everyone likes the new appearance. Let me know in the comments section!

Have fun voting, share to help your favorite breweries, bookmark to keep coming back. Lets have a fun time – remember this is for fun after all.

(Update: Hopefully this full complete page will make things easier to vote, as well as easier to share and bookmark and keep track of. I have been spending all morning doing house chores, taking care of a teething three month old, and working on this tournament. So fingers cross this works and helps everyone out.)

(So far, its only been up for about 3 hours and we’ve been getting lots of votes for each individual conference. So looks like things are going really well!)

Cheers Everyone!

The Battle of the Breweries – 2023

Its now time to start the tournament off! Today is the first day of voting (February 27th, 2023). Each week of voting (until the finals) lasts one week, and will go from the Monday that voting starts, until the next Sunday at 11:59:59 PM. So this week’s round of voting – the Conference Group Stage – will last until Sunday March 5th, 2023 11:59:59 PM EST.

You can read the overview articles here:

• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Overview and Rules
• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Conferences and Group Stage Overview

The general gist:

The group round will be the same structure as the World Cup’s – the top two “teams” (ie. breweries) with the most points (ie. most votes) move on to the tournament. The big difference is that each group will be five breweries instead of the four teams in the World Cup.

The tournament structure is pretty straight forward. Four conferences of 16 breweries. The groups will be kept for the conferences, so each conference will have 8 groups that are locked in for that conference. After the group round ends, and the breweries advance, I will seed them based on their Untappd scores. (So a 4.04 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 1 Seed, whereas a 3.31 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 16 seed.)

The tournament then runs linear similar to NCAA’s March Madness and other similar bracket tournaments. 16 vs. 1, 15 vs. 2, 14 vs. 3, 13 vs. 4, etc. The winner of each conference will then face off in a fatal four – way to determine the true champion of The Beer Thrillers’ Battle of the Breweries (2023).

Past Tournament Announcement Posts:

• March Madness (2021) – The Beer Thrillers Way
• March Madness (2022) – Bigger, Bolder, Badder – The Battle of the Breweries

Voting

Here’s what you’ve been waiting for! Lets kick this tournament off and start the voting!

Voting lasts from now – Monday February 27th, 2023 – whenever this post goes live – until Sunday March 5th, 2023 at 11:59:59 PM EST.

You can vote once per day, so be sure to share the voting pages with as many people as possible to help your favorite breweries out. In the group stage you have a multiple choice for each group. Pick the breweries you want to see move on. The top two from each group will advance. (So I recommend only voting for two per group.)

Ok, here we go:

Walhalla Conference Voting

Results

The results will be posted early Monday morning next week (think 8 AM til 10 AM) (March 6th, 2023). After the results pages go up, we will then post the new pages for voting.

The Battle of the Breweries – 2023

Its now time to start the tournament off! Today is the first day of voting (February 27th, 2023). Each week of voting (until the finals) lasts one week, and will go from the Monday that voting starts, until the next Sunday at 11:59:59 PM. So this week’s round of voting – the Conference Group Stage – will last until Sunday March 5th, 2023 11:59:59 PM EST.

You can read the overview articles here:

• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Overview and Rules
• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Conferences and Group Stage Overview

The general gist:

The group round will be the same structure as the World Cup’s – the top two “teams” (ie. breweries) with the most points (ie. most votes) move on to the tournament. The big difference is that each group will be five breweries instead of the four teams in the World Cup.

The tournament structure is pretty straight forward. Four conferences of 16 breweries. The groups will be kept for the conferences, so each conference will have 8 groups that are locked in for that conference. After the group round ends, and the breweries advance, I will seed them based on their Untappd scores. (So a 4.04 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 1 Seed, whereas a 3.31 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 16 seed.)

The tournament then runs linear similar to NCAA’s March Madness and other similar bracket tournaments. 16 vs. 1, 15 vs. 2, 14 vs. 3, 13 vs. 4, etc. The winner of each conference will then face off in a fatal four – way to determine the true champion of The Beer Thrillers’ Battle of the Breweries (2023).

Voting

Here’s what you’ve been waiting for! Lets kick this tournament off and start the voting!

Voting lasts from now – Monday February 27th, 2023 – whenever this post goes live – until Sunday March 5th, 2023 at 11:59:59 PM EST.

You can vote once per day, so be sure to share the voting pages with as many people as possible to help your favorite breweries out. In the group stage you have a multiple choice for each group. Pick the breweries you want to see move on. The top two from each group will advance. (So I recommend only voting for two per group.)

Ok, here we go:

Saaz Conference Voting

Results

The results will be posted early Monday morning next week (think 8 AM til 10 AM) (March 6th, 2023). After the results pages go up, we will then post the new pages for voting.

Thanks For Reading

Thank you all for reading and bearing with me this morning. Trying to get these voting articles up as quickly and smoothly as I can while dealing with a teething three month old (yes… teething at three months old). Scarlet has been a little bear the last few days. I fell asleep last night / this morning around 3:45 AM and woke up at 6:45 AM. Amy was also up with her a bit during the night. So its certainly been a trying time.

Don’t worry though, we will keep the voting and results articles coming.

Also, don’t worry – just because we are hosting our annual “Battle of the Breweries” doesn’t mean we’ll stop posting other articles. You can be sure of that! There will be plenty of articles still coming, so be sure to check out the blog frequently.

Cheers Everyone!

The Battle of the Breweries – 2023

Its now time to start the tournament off! Today is the first day of voting (February 27th, 2023). Each week of voting (until the finals) lasts one week, and will go from the Monday that voting starts, until the next Sunday at 11:59:59 PM. So this week’s round of voting – the Conference Group Stage – will last until Sunday March 5th, 2023 11:59:59 PM EST.

You can read the overview articles here:

• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Overview and Rules
• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Conferences and Group Stage Overview

The general gist:

The group round will be the same structure as the World Cup’s – the top two “teams” (ie. breweries) with the most points (ie. most votes) move on to the tournament. The big difference is that each group will be five breweries instead of the four teams in the World Cup.

The tournament structure is pretty straight forward. Four conferences of 16 breweries. The groups will be kept for the conferences, so each conference will have 8 groups that are locked in for that conference. After the group round ends, and the breweries advance, I will seed them based on their Untappd scores. (So a 4.04 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 1 Seed, whereas a 3.31 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 16 seed.)

The tournament then runs linear similar to NCAA’s March Madness and other similar bracket tournaments. 16 vs. 1, 15 vs. 2, 14 vs. 3, 13 vs. 4, etc. The winner of each conference will then face off in a fatal four – way to determine the true champion of The Beer Thrillers’ Battle of the Breweries (2023).

Thanks For Reading

Thank you all for reading and bearing with me this morning. Trying to get these voting articles up as quickly and smoothly as I can while dealing with a teething three month old (yes… teething at three months old). Scarlet has been a little bear the last few days. I fell asleep last night / this morning around 3:45 AM and woke up at 6:45 AM. Amy was also up with her a bit during the night. So its certainly been a trying time.

Don’t worry though, we will keep the voting and results articles coming.

Also, don’t worry – just because we are hosting our annual “Battle of the Breweries” doesn’t mean we’ll stop posting other articles. You can be sure of that! There will be plenty of articles still coming, so be sure to check out the blog frequently.

I have re – vamped the look and layout of the site, hopefully everyone likes the new appearance. Let me know in the comments section!

Have fun voting, share to help your favorite breweries, bookmark to keep coming back. Lets have a fun time – remember this is for fun after all.

Cheers Everyone!

The Battle of the Breweries – 2023

Its now time to start the tournament off! Today is the first day of voting (February 27th, 2023). Each week of voting (until the finals) lasts one week, and will go from the Monday that voting starts, until the next Sunday at 11:59:59 PM. So this week’s round of voting – the Conference Group Stage – will last until Sunday March 5th, 2023 11:59:59 PM EST.

You can read the overview articles here:

• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Overview and Rules
• The Battle of the Breweries 2023 – Conferences and Group Stage Overview

The general gist:

The group round will be the same structure as the World Cup’s – the top two “teams” (ie. breweries) with the most points (ie. most votes) move on to the tournament. The big difference is that each group will be five breweries instead of the four teams in the World Cup.

The tournament structure is pretty straight forward. Four conferences of 16 breweries. The groups will be kept for the conferences, so each conference will have 8 groups that are locked in for that conference. After the group round ends, and the breweries advance, I will seed them based on their Untappd scores. (So a 4.04 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 1 Seed, whereas a 3.31 Untappd rating will most likely result in a 16 seed.)

The tournament then runs linear similar to NCAA’s March Madness and other similar bracket tournaments. 16 vs. 1, 15 vs. 2, 14 vs. 3, 13 vs. 4, etc. The winner of each conference will then face off in a fatal four – way to determine the true champion of The Beer Thrillers’ Battle of the Breweries (2023).

Past Tournament Announcement Posts:

• March Madness (2021) – The Beer Thrillers Way
• March Madness (2022) – Bigger, Bolder, Badder – The Battle of the Breweries

Voting

Here’s what you’ve been waiting for! Lets kick this tournament off and start the voting!

Voting lasts from now – Monday February 27th, 2023 – whenever this post goes live – until Sunday March 5th, 2023 at 11:59:59 PM EST.

You can vote once per day, so be sure to share the voting pages with as many people as possible to help your favorite breweries out. In the group stage you have a multiple choice for each group. Pick the breweries you want to see move on. The top two from each group will advance. (So I recommend only voting for two per group.)

Ok, here we go:

Chinook Conference Voting

Results

The results will be posted early Monday morning next week (think 8 AM til 10 AM) (March 6th, 2023). After the results pages go up, we will then post the new pages for voting.

Recap on the Conferences and Groups

Small Business Saturday 2022

Now that you’re done hunting for the Bourbon County Brand Stouts yesterday or hitting up Shangy’s for their hundreds of different Black Friday stouts, or gone down to Aslin to get their yearly releases, its time to celebrate Small Business Saturday.

Lots of breweries are getting in on the act of Small Business Saturday. And to be frankly honest, there is no better shopping day that showcases breweries than this (well, except for the “Small Brewery Sunday” that will be tomorrow). Almost all breweries can be considered “small business” and “local business”. As I always like to say here on the blog, “Support Local” “Drink Local” “Support Small Business” “Support Small Breweries” etc. The brewery owners, brewers, bartenders, cooks, and workers at your local brewery are your own town residents. Their not ‘fat cat CEOs’ like AB InBev, or Coors, or Miller. Their not out jet flying, living it up in clubs, mansions, etc. Their the guy who helps coach your kid’s T – Ball team or helps Tina not fall on her butt at gymnastics too much, or maybe their the ones volunteering to be a crossing guard to get your kids to school safely, etc.

What I’m saying is – craft breweries are local businesses. They support their communities. They help their communities through volunteer work, through giving back, by providing local jobs, by being a local restaurant, local gathering place, a place for fundraiser events, etc.

So lets give back to them and support them and shop the local small businesses and breweries today – Small Business Saturday.

How Can You Help?

Support. Support. Support. Support. Did I say Support? Maybe in capital – SUPPORT? Maybe with spaces – S – U – P – P – O – R – T? Its pretty simple. Shop local. Shop small. Go into any local craft brewery and shop today. Merchandise, beer sales, gift cards, food to go, etc. Check out Facebook and Instagram and Twitter today and see what your local breweries are up to and what sales they have going on. Just scanning over my personal and The Beer Thrillers Facebook newsfeed I was inundated with breweries advertising sales for this whole weekend or today in particular, for merchandise like hoodies, or gift card discounts (20$ for 25$ or 20$ for 30$, etc.), buy one get one free four packs, and all kinds of deals.

A quick search on my Facebook (literally just typing into the search bar ‘Small Business Saturday’ and going through beer / brewery related pages, the following popped up) :

• Pineknotter Brewing Company
• First Sip Studios
• Second Sin Brewing Company
• Trace Brewing
• TBC Brewing Company
• Arboretum Trail Brewing
• Richmond Farm And Brewery
• Black Forest Brewery
• Trails to Ales Brewery
• Roundhouse Brewery
• Something Brewery
• Apex Brewery
• ……etc.

And that was just a quick search. It brought up a lot of non – brewery businesses as well, and obviously my feed is tailored more towards local to Pennsylvania breweries (though some non – PA breweries did sneak in).

But getting back to the short of it – do a little bit of research, look up your favorite local brewery, be it Boneshire Brew Works, Tattered Flag Brewery and Distillery, Troegs Independent Craft Brewery, ZeroDay Brewing Company, Official BBQ and Brewery, Ever Grain Brewing Company, Mellow Mink Brewing, Al’s of Hampden / Pizza Boy Brewing, etc. Just take a two to five second quick search, see what deals they got going on, and check them out.

The great thing is (nowadays) you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home. Most of these breweries have their own pages set up and their own merchandise stores and even beer to go or online beer ordering sites that you can just purchase through. Like Burial Brewing Company doing their Tombsgiving Weekend with free shipping (of over 100$ or more though; but still). There is lots of great options for both online, and in person now.

And speaking of shopping online, shipping has become easier and easier. Since COVID – 19 and the pandemic, the shipping laws and sales of beer has become easier and easier. Getting great local beer right to your door, and even getting great beer from some top notch breweries out of state right to your door (like Trillium, Tired Hands, Aslin, Burial, The Veil, Adroit Theory, Dogfish Head, Dewey, etc.) is even easier than it ever was before. No need for beer traders and mules!

So Lets Get Out There and Shop

So get out there and support and shop your local small businesses and small breweries. They’ve all had a rough go the last few years with the coronavirus / COVID – 19 pandemic, the inflation, the CO2 shortages, the staffing issues, the rising costs of things like wings, meat, etc, the aluminum can issues, etc. So lets get out and shop and support our favorite local craft breweries today on Small Business Saturday (November 26th, 2022)!

Thanks For Reading

I wanted to make this quick shout out to all of our awesome local craft breweries. They really deserve our support and sponsorship and business today. Instead of shopping big retail stores or big breweries like AB InBev or Coors or Miller, lets support the small mom and pop breweries. The local guys who provide us such great customer service, great beer, great food, and great atmospheres. Cheers to them! Cheers to all those hardworking brewery staff and owners. And cheers to all of you shopping and supporting local businesses, breweries, and other small stores.

Cheers All!
