The Battle of the Breweries

The Battle of the Breweries (2024)

The list below is the four conferences – Bravo, Crystal, Fuggle, and Galaxy, and the 31 (+4 possible breweries for the 32nd seed) participants. This is their seeding as per Untappd ratings. We rolled D4’s all day to determine which conferences the breweries would end up in, then we used their Untappd global average rating to set up the seeding. In the case of ties (example – two breweries with a 3.66 Untappd rating) we rolled off to determine their order of ranking.

The 32nd seed for each conference is being determined right now by the winner of the Preliminary Qualifier round, which ends tomorrow (Thursday, February 29th) at 11:59:59 PM EST. You can vote here: The Battle of the Breweries (2024): Preliminary Qualifiers.

To see our original list of brewery participants you can view that here: The Battle of the Breweries (2024) Participating Breweries.

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.

Map of Hops and Vines for Hunger 2023 Participating Breweries, Wineries, and More

Hops and Vines for Hunger

The campaign aims to:

Raise funds to maximize the work of Feeding Pennsylvania’s nine member food banks and serve Pennsylvanians facing hunger
Support the development of nutrition education resources created by PA Eats to educate food-insecure Pennsylvanians on how to prepare simple, accessible meals with affordable, healthy ingredients commonly found in food pantries
Promote the support of local breweries and wineries across the Commonwealth

This is a month long fundraiser in November and they have been doing it yearly now for a few years.

For many of the breweries involved – they have their own individual events; some are daily, some are weekly, some last the entire month. Troegs Independent Brewing is kicking theirs off tomorrow – November 1st – from 11:30 AM (Opening) to 9:00 PM (Closing).

You can read more about the Hops and Vines for Hunger Campaign here:

For more information check out the Hops and Vines for Hunger 2023 Campaign segment right after the map. But first, let’s take a look at the map of all of the participating breweries, wineries, cideries, and coffee houses.

Map of Hops and Vines for Hunger 2023 Participating Breweries, Wineries, and More

Key

The Beer Mug represents a Brewery
The Glass represents a Winery
The Cider Flute (white symbol) represents a Cidery
The Coffee Mug represents a Coffee House

There is 1 coffee house, 1 cidery, 34 breweries, and 4 wineries represented through their various locations on the above map.

List of Events

I will be posting a list of events tomorrow – November 1st 2023 – to coincide with this map and to help keep everyone updated on what events they can attend to help raise money for the campaign.

The Hops and Vines for Hunger 2023 Campaign

The following comes from their campaign (Our Programs) page:

Pennsylvania boasts over 800 breweries and wineries combined across the state — and that number is growing. But just as these numbers are increasing, so are the number of food insecure families and individuals across Pennsylvania. In fact, nearly 2 million Pennsylvanians struggle with hunger every day – including nearly 500,000 children.

That’s why Feeding Pennsylvania, PA Eats, and Breweries in PA are joining forces with local breweries and wineries across the state through Hops & Vines for Hunger — a month-long, statewide fundraiser throughout November. The campaign will aim to:

Raise funds to maximize the work of Feeding Pennsylvania’s 9 member food banks and serve Pennsylvanians facing hunger;

Support the development of nutrition education resources created by PA Eats to educate food-insecure Pennsylvanians on how to prepare simple, accessible meals with affordable, healthy ingredients commonly found in food pantries;

Promote the support of local breweries and wineries across the Commonwealth.
