The 2024 Battle of the Breweries Champion Is… Liquid Noise Brewing Company!

The NEW Battle of the Breweries Champion Is…

Liquid Noise Brewing Company

The brand new, undisputed, Battle of the Breweries Champion is….. Liquid Noise Brewing Company! Joining our esteemed list of previous winners (Allusion Brewing Company, Von C Brewing Company, and Isle of Que Brewing), Liquid Noise Brewing Company is the newest champion; defeating Allusion Brewing Company, Shy Bear Brewing, and Robin Hood Brewing Company in a hard fought battle in the Finals Fatal Four-Way. They outlasted 139 other breweries to be the sole champion of this year’s tournament.

The Battle of the Breweries ran from the end of February to middle of April, with several rounds. Liquid Noise Brewing Company put up an amazing performance the whole way through (you can view how they did in the results pages for each round). In the finals they bested last year’s champion – Allusion Brewing Company as well as Shy Bear Brewing and Robin Hood Brewing Company. They garnered 1085 votes for a 49.2% of the vote. In second place was Allusion Brewing Company with 903 votes (41%) and in third was Shy Bear Brewing with 113 votes and Robin Hood Brewing Company came in fourth with 104 votes.

Liquid Noise Brewing Company made it to the Finals Fatal Four-Way by winning the Bravo Conference. In this tournament there were breweries from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, Delaware, D.C, New York, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Arizona.

Liquid Noise Brewing Company

Liquid Noise Brewing Company is located in Marysville, Pennsylvania. They recently re-opened with new management, new brewers, and new beers. An advanced kitchen and menu, as well as wonderful staff, there is no doubt as to why they won the tournament. Take a moment to stop out sometime and check out why they are THE 2024 BATTLE OF THE BREWERIES CHAMPIONS!

The Battle of the Breweries (2021)

Its Time to Find Out The Winner

This is it everyone, this is the finals, the championship, the triple threat main event of The Battle of the Breweries (2021). The culmination of a month’s ‘hard work’ of voting by you and everyone you’ve shared these posts with.

Who will take home the crown, the championship, the title bout (not a physical one mind you), of the most arbitrary beer blog Battle of the Breweries in possibly writing history?

Will it be The Isle of Que Brewing Company?

Or will it be Rubber Soul Brewing Company?

Or Troegs Independent Craft Brewing Company?

This is certainly an interesting and diverse match-up for the finals. But how did we get here?

The Results, Working Our Way Back Through the Tournament

Let’s take a look back over the tournament and see how we got here to the finals. Firstly, we started with an odd choice of breweries – 48 breweries to be exact. How did we select these 48 breweries? They had to be a brewery that I physically had been to their location. The selection of breweries comes from the states of Pennsylvania, Delaware, New York, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. I used a random dice generator (a D4 for the fellow nerds out there) to put them into brackets, and once in the brackets they were seeded based on Untappd global average ratings.

Since March – April is WrestleMania season, I decided to give the tournament a bit of a “Wrestling” bent to it. With the two conferences being called FACEs and HEELs. With the divisions (two per conference) being named after Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, and Ric Flair.

Now let’s take a look at the round per round results…

Round Four Statistics and Results

In a shocking twist, all three match-ups from Round Three were won by the underdogs. (I re-ranked the seeds after each round.) The number six seed Isle of Que Brewing has kept their Cinderella tournament streak alive and pulled a major upset over Rotunda Brewing Company. Rubber Soul Brewing Company (fifth seed) posted a big upset over Ever Grain Brewing Company, and despite being the big dog in Pennsylvania, but ranked lower (due to ranking being based on Untappd average score) Troegs Independent Craft Brewing (fourth seed) pulled up an upset over Boneshire Brew Works.

Results:

  • Isle of Que Brewing (sixth seed) (212 votes) defeated Rotunda Brewing Company (one seed) (79 votes).
  • Rubber Soul Brewing Company (fifth seed) (154 votes) defeated Ever Grain Brewing Company (second seed) (106 votes).
  • Troegs Independent Craft Brewing Company (fourth seed) (143 votes) defeated Boneshire Brew Works (third seed) (117 votes).

There was a total of 811 votes for round four.

So this now brings us…. to the final… to the main event…. to the triple threat match, for all the marbles, for the championship, for the fake title belt that doesn’t really exist (except inside our heads and hearts), the whole shebang, the whole enchelada…. the Triple Threat to Determine the Winner of The Battle of the Breweries (2021)……. (insert dramatic drum-roll).

The Triple Threat Main Event

The Triple Threat Main Event, is pitting the Cinderella Isle of Que Brewing, vs. newly opened – rebranded Rubber Soul Brewing Company vs. The Big Dog of Pennsylvania Craft Beer – Troegs Independent Craft Brewing. This should be a very interesting match-up. Three interesting contenders. One hailing from Selinsgrove Pennsylvania, one from Hummelstown Pennsylvania, and then a hop skip and a throw over the third hailing from Hershey Pennsylvania. In the coming days I will be posting an article detailing each brewery, and giving readers some kind of information on how main event participants.

Let the battle commence!
