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.

The Battle of the Breweries (2024) – Round of 4

B. Kline — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 12:44:51 +0000

The Battle of the Breweries – The Conference Round of 4

The Battle of the Breweries (2024) – Conference Round of 4

We are down to just sixteen (16) breweries left in the competition! Four (4) in each of the conferences! Each of the remaining breweries are just a few wins away from being crowned the 2024 Battle of the Breweries Champion! (All that’s left is the Conference Round of 4, the Conference Finals, and then the Finals Fatal Four – Way).

This is the landing page. Click below for each specific conference to vote in the match-ups:

Voting Rules

You can vote once per day, for each conference. Each day you can visit each of the Conference Articles and scroll down to the voting block, and vote once for each brewery duel. Each day you will be able to come to the site to make your votes in the polls. It will be set-up by IPS, so it limits you to voting just once per day per vote. You can vote as many times as you want per round, but only once per day.

We encourage you to share on all of your various social media accounts the pages to help maximize the votes your favorite brewery (or breweries) will receive.

Voting for the Conference Round of Four ends at 11:59:59 PM EST on Sunday, March 31st, 2024.

For Voting Ease

Since there are only two contests in each conference. For ease of voting, I am also placing all four of the conference voting polls here as well. You can click their individual conference round, or vote here. Both are counted the same.

Good luck to your favorite breweries in the tournament! Share and tell your friends to help your favorite breweries get more votes!

The Battle of the Breweries (2024) – Galaxy Conference: Round of 32

B. Kline — Fri, 01 Mar 2024 13:15:42 +0000

The Battle of the Breweries (2024) – Round of 32

The Battle of the Breweries

Its March 1st and that means The Battle of the Breweries is ready to kick off! We have already hosted the Primary Qualifiers to select the 32nd seed for each conference. And so now begins the full fledged tournament, with all 128 breweries competing to see who will become the ultimate Battle of the Breweries Champion for this year!

The first round – The Round of 32 – will last until the end of Sunday March 10th, at 11:59:59 PM EST. And the second round will begin on Monday, March 11th around 9AM EST.

Breweries will be competing from Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Arizona, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia.

You can see our previous topics about the tournament for this year here:

We encourage you to go onto social media and share this post, as well as to follow our Facebook, Instagram, and other pages to stay up to date on the tournament. You can vote once per day for each conference’s blocks (once we’re in the main tournament, each conference will have their own distinct article). So to better your favorite (or your own personal) brewery’s chances of winning – we highly recommend sharing and letting all of your friends and family (and even your enemies) know to vote for you.

You can follow along with us on Facebook and Instagram.

The Rules

There’s gotta be some kind of rules to this madness right? This madness of March (and well, this year the end of February as well… and yes… also a bit of April as the tournament goes into that month as well). So… what are the rules involved?

To pull straight from the initial March Madness / Battle of the Breweries post:

So how’s this going to work? Who all is invited? What all breweries are going to be in it? How many breweries? How’s voting going to work? Who decides whose in and whose out? Whats the seeding? Why is Rick such a jerk to Morty? Why is Jurassic Bark the saddest episode of Futurama ever? Why is the sky blue?

Ok…. enough with the questions!

March Madness (2021) – The Battle of the Breweries (2021)

Breweries are selected from breweries that have been visited by The Beer Thrillers staff.
