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!

Results

I will be doing a full break-down article on the results of the round tomorrow, like I have done for the other rounds and each previous tournament. But for quick results, you can see the image below:

If you haven’t been to Vandergrift Pennsylvania, or never heard of Allusion Brewing Company, you are certainly doing yourself a disservice. Make your way out there and check them out.

For a full article on them, you can check it out here:

• Allusion Brewing Company

You can visit Allusion Brewing Company in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania at 143 Grant Ave, Vandergrift, PA 15690, just like I did back in November 2020. They have a beautiful little tap room, with a very cool flight system. Their flights are in old book catalogue (from a near by Library that sold their Book Catalogue desk / table / system), and the tasters fit into it perfectly, and all the bartender has to do is pull them out of the card catalogue cabinet / table / desk system thing.

I had an absolute wonderful time when visiting the brewery, and cannot wait to come back out to Vandergrift to get check them out again.

Thank You For Reading

Sorry for getting this posted so much later in the day. My insomnia kicked in hard last night and I didn’t sleep much or well at all last night, factor in a newborn, and you can see why I was dragging butt to start the day. Also early in the morning Amy had a doctor’s appointment so we had that, and then had a friend stop over, and between all of that, household chores, etc, etc, etc, yadda yadda yadda (and no, I didn’t yadda yadda over the best part), this is why its only going up now.

My apologies.

I was also trying to decide how I wanted to write the article and how I wanted to frame it, I think I’ll do the full recap in a different article, and will probably get that posted up tomorrow. So be on the look out for that.

I want to thank all 160 breweries that participated. It was so great seeing all of the breweries get into it over the past month (more than a month’s worth of time!). I hope everyone had a good time. I thought the tournament ran very smoothly.

I want to say congratulations to the four breweries that made it to the finals – Tattered Flag Brewery, Allusion Brewing Company, AleCraft Brewing Company, and Mad Chef Brewing. And especially to Allusion Brewing Company for winning.

Congratulations!

Honestly everyone, if you have a chance to stop out at Allusion Brewing Company in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, please do. I very highly recommend it!

I’m hoping to get back there this year. Fingers crossed.

Ok everyone, thank you for reading. If you have any comments, questions, concerns, suggestions or anything at all, don’t hesitate to comment.

Please like, subscribe, share, and follow.

Cheers All!

………………….

VON C BREWING COMPANY out of Norristown, Pennsylvania!

Congratulations Von C Brewing and all of the brewers, staff, workers, and fans who helped vote, share, and come to the blog.

Thank You

First, I’d like to give a big shout out to everyone! I mean – absolutely everyone! From all the different breweries, staff, workers, fans, and readers of the blog. You have made this a tremendous success. The tournament this year totally blew away the tournament last year, both in volume of results, number of breweries involved, in shares, likes, comments, in clicks and views and visitors to the blog, to every possible metric I could use. Wow. I just want to say thank you to everyone.

Which leads me to the next point….

Blog Crashing

For the first time in the history of the tournament – and in the blog itself – the site has crashed due to amount of people visiting it. This is one of those “bad good things”. Its bad that its crashed, and I apologize to all those who were attempting to vote and it was down. (Difficulties with the host being a weekend, and it being a holiday weekend meant slower times getting them to respond, and literally had me on the phone waiting for over an hour.)

So needless to say, I was disappointed with the crash and the downtime, but was grateful for what that meant – so many visitors to the site! So congratulations to everyone who was able to crash the site (haha…..)!

Quick Recap

I’m going to do a quick recap of the finals and announce the winner with this article. And then do a full, big, recap, award ceremony, finals, whatever you want to call it on Monday.

Due to the downtime, I had extended the tournament until this morning ending it effectively at noon (11:59AM EST) (so technically – morning). With having to do some mowing, and family obligations (my sister was throwing my nephew’s 7th birthday party), things got a bit wonky for the day, and I didn’t quite complete things like I wanted. (Tried to get this recap article done by 2PM… started it… but didn’t get a chance to finish it until now.)

So enough rambling, lets get to the recap.

Lead Up

Coming into the finals fatal four-way, we had a winner from each conference. And those winners were:

• Brock Lesnar Conference: Axemann Brewery
• Roman Reigns Conference: Von C Brewing
• Ronda Rousey Conference: Gearhouse Brewing
• Charlotte Flair Conference: Bunnyman Brewing

All four breweries did a tremendous job to get to the finals. Each conference was 32 breweries (for a grand total of 128 breweries). Meaning just to get to the finals, each brewery beat out 31 other breweries. That’s no small feat.

Results

Like true pro wrestling, in a fatal four-way they often do it as an “elimination match”, meaning one wrestler after another is eliminated until you have the winner. Technically, we didn’t do eliminations in the voting, but for the results here, I am going to list the breweries in order of their “elimination” (or placing).

• Eliminated first: Gearhouse Brewing (429 votes) (4th place)
• Eliminated second: Axemann Brewery (682 votes) (3rd place)
• Last elimination: Bunnyman Brewing (3582 votes) (2nd place)

Winner: Von C Brewing (3824 votes) (1st place)

For a total of: 8517 votes. That is an amazing total number of votes!

The breakdown for voting percentages goes:

• Gearhouse Brewing (429 / 8517 votes) – 5.04%
• Axemann Brewery (682 / 8517 votes) – 8.03%
• Bunnyman Brewing (3582 / 8517 votes) – 42.05%
• Von C Brewing (3824 / 8517 votes) – 44.89%

It was extremely close Thursday, Friday, and the bonus Saturday time between Bunnyman Brewing and Von C Brewing. It was anybody’s ballgame / race / competition / brewing duel to the death.

But once again, I want to congratulate Von C Brewing as being the champion!

Thank You Everyone

Just to reiterate, thank you everyone for visiting, voting, sharing, liking, commenting, and discussing the 2nd Battle of the Breweries. Look out for the full results on Monday, where I’ll break down the full tournament. (It will most likely get posted after I come home from work Monday, so later in the evening, around 8-10PM…. possibly Tuesday morning.)

Again, congratulations to all four final breweries. They all did amazing in the tournament. Especially Bunnyman Brewing and Von C Brewing, putting up some amazing numbers. And obviously, huge congrats go to Von C for winning it! They now will live on in the annals of the Battle of Breweries here on The Beer Thrillers, as being the second ever champion! (First champion was The Isle of Que Brewing).

Cheers Everyone!

It is finally time to announce the winner of the Battle of the Breweries (2021), and what a tournament it was! Obviously, like everything else we do here on The Beer Thrillers, it couldn’t be a normal tournament. Instead of doing regular March Madness style brackets of 32 or 64 (or even smaller ones of 16 or 8), we did 48. So right off the bat, things are going to get odd – ball crazy. With the finals being a Triple Threat that saw Isle of Que Brewing vs. Rubber Soul Brewing Company vs. Troegs Independent Craft Brewing Company, in one epic showdown final!

So without further adieu…..

Your 2021 Battle of the Breweries Champion is….

The Que Brew Crew themselves, the new, and possibly undisputed (we haven’t had any disputes yet) champion of The Beer Thriller’s arbitrary Battle of the Breweries (2021), and your people’s champion – The Isle of Que Brewing, straight out of Selinsgrove Pennsylvania.

A huge and massive shout out to them, as they racked up 3,744 votes in the final round to defeat Rubber Soul Brewing Company and Troegs Independent Craft Brewing Company. What an impressive final battle this was too!

The Triple Threat Cage Match

For anyone following along, voting, and checking the results, this was an extremely heated battle. Depending on what time you looked at the results on Saturday and Sunday you could have seen Rubber Soul up by two hundred, or you might have see the Que Brew up by fifty, or as they pulled ahead at the very end on Sunday, the Que Brew jumped to a nearly four hundred vote difference. The battle was extremely heated and intense between Que Brewing and Rubber Soul. Somewhere in this scuffle, Troegs Brewing was left far far and far behind, not sure how that happened, as they consistently got the most votes each round, but sadly, for the finals they only got a total of 90 votes; which in and of itself is a giant shocker.

This was a very fun finals match-up with lots of interesting Facebook and Instagram posts from both Que Brewing and Rubber Soul. Que Brew had a unique and interesting Facebook post each day hyping up the tournament and getting their votes, make sure you head over to their Facebook page to see some of their fun and interesting posts.

The final results and tallies for the Triple Threat Championship is as follows:

• The Isle of Que Brewing (third seed) won with 3,744 votes.
• Rubber Soul Brewing Company (second seed) came in second place with 3,353 votes.
• Troegs Independent Craft Brewing Company (one seed) came in third place with 90 votes.

For a combined total of 7,187 votes.

This was the most votes of any round, and this time with only one question, versus the other rounds which all had more than one question to vote on.

Despite Troegs Brewing poor finals vote count, they were the big dogs going into the match-up against relatively unknown underdog Isle of Que Brewing and the new (opened during the pandemic, version 2.0, rebranding, and moved from Salisbury Maryland to Hummelstown Pennsylvania) Rubber Soul Brewing Company. All three breweries (competitors) did extremely well and deserve their place here in the finals.

The Battle of the Breweries (2021) Results

This was an extremely fun tournament to run and I hope all the breweries, fans of the page, fans of the breweries, and anyone reading the articles had just as much fun with it as we did here at The Beer Thrillers. Yesterday (Sunday, April 4th, 2021, Easter) broke our single day page view on the blog with a whopping 12K+ views. And for that alone, we can’t say thank you enough to everyone who took the time out of their busy lives to visit the blog and vote. Hopefully you all got to look at some of the other articles and liked what you saw here on the blog.

But let’s get to the results, how did we get here?

I already covered the full tournament (minus the finals of course) results in the previous article, where you got to vote, so you can check the results of the tournaments here: “The Battle of the Breweries (2021) – The Triple Threat Finals Match“.

But, let’s look at the road each of our finals competitors took to get to the finals match, and then lets also look at statistics of the tournament as a total.

Isle of Que Brewing Company is The Champion

The Isle of Que Brewing Company (or Que Brew Crew) was the definition of a Cinderella and was akin to a 16 seed in the NCAA March Madness tournament winning. What an incredible road they had to get to their finals victory!

In the first round they defeated Jackie O’s Brewery – as the 11th seed defeating the 2nd seed – 146 votes to 31 votes.

(After each round of voting, the tournament was reseeded, so it wasn’t a strict bracket like March Madness or others.)

In the second round they defeated Pizza Boy Brewing Company – as the 11th seed defeating the 2nd seed – 193 votes to 141 votes.

In the third round they defeated Fourscore Beer Company – as the 12th seed defeating the 1st seed – 149 votes to 115 votes.

In the fourth round they defeated Rotunda Brewing Company – as the 6th seed defeating the 1st seed – 212 votes to 79 votes.

In the finals, they were the 3rd seed vs. Rubber Soul (2nd seed) and Troegs Brewing (1st) seed, and won with 3,744 votes.

Total votes for the tournament for Isle of Que Brewing was: 4,444. Quite the impressive number!

Rubber Soul Brewing Company – Second Place

Rubber Soul Brewing Company had a fantastic run and came in second place in the tournament. They had some stiff competition along the way to their second place finals finish as well.

In the first round they defeated Breaker Brewing – as the 10th seed defeating the 3rd seed – 65 votes to 57 votes.

In the second round they defeated Moo-Duck Brewing – as the 9th seed defeating the 4th seed – 168 votes to 116 votes.

In the third round they defeated Dewey Beer Company – as the 11th seed defeating the 2nd seed – 182 votes to 65 votes.

In the fourth round they defeated Ever Grain Brewing – as the 5th seed defeating the 2nd seed – 154 votes to 106 votes.

And in the finals (as the 2nd seed) they lost to Isle of Que Brewing. They had 3,353 votes in the final.

Rubber Soul Brewing Company’s total vote count was: 4,102.

Troegs Independent Craft Brewing Company grabs the bronze

Troegs Brewing is definitely one of the juggernauts of Pennsylvania Brewing, and were a very heavy favorite for this tournament as well (which also saw breweries from New York, Ohio, Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Indiana). Despite their poor showing in the finals, they still had a very impressive tournament run.

In the first round they defeated Saucony Creek Brewing Company – as the 4th seed defeating the 9th seed – 48 votes to 9 votes.

In the second round they defeated Swiftwater Brewing Company – as the 5th seed defeating the 8th seed – 126 votes to 32 votes.

In the third round they defeated Urban Artifact – as the 8th seed defeating the 5th seed – 145 votes to 96 votes.

In the fourth round they defeated Boneshire Brew Works – as the 4th seed defeating the 3rd seed – 143 votes to 117 votes.

In the finals they came up short with third place and only 90 votes.

Troegs Craft Independent Brewing’s total vote count was: 552 votes.

Tournament Statistics

The total vote count for our three finalists were 9,098 votes. The total vote count for the entire tournament was 16,640 votes. (Out of 46 questions, which means the average vote to question was 361.7391304).

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.

• Isle of Que Brewing (sixth seed) (212 votes) defeated Rotunda Brewing Company (one seed) (79 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.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You

I cannot underestimate how awesome this was, and how appreciative I am of everyone who came to the site and blog and voted. Who visited our social media pages (our Facebook, our Twitter, and our Instagram). This was such a tremendous and huge turnout, I am already thinking of March Madness 2022! Which will definitely be an even bigger Battle of the Breweries! I’m thinking of keeping it the same theme – only breweries I’ve visited, and maybe including ones that Josh has also visited, and ones that some of our writers have as well. And putting no limits on it. So by March 2022, this could be a list of two hundred or more breweries competing! Could do it state by state leading to when the states are down to their final one or two and then moving on into a bigger tournament. Not sure yet, if you have any ideas or suggestions, be sure to leave them in the comments or leave us some feedback through our contact page.

If you have any thoughts, questions, concerns, or anything you’d like to say about how the tournament was ran, made, or done, or anything at all really, you can always leave a comment here on each blog post, or you can contact us specifically using the CONTACT US page. This directly e-mails your comment to use (as well as leaving one in a specific folder only viewable to us, on the site).

I want to give a huge shout out to Isle of Que Brewing and Michael Salter who was promoting the tournament nearly daily on their media pages. Big kudos for them for winning the tournament. Hopefully we can do something with them in the future to celebrate!

Also a big shout out to Rubber Soul Brewing Company for such an impressive run in the tournament. Coming so close to winning it, with the tremendous year they had in opening, and the pandemic, and everything going on.

And of course a shout out to Troegs Brewing as well for reaching the finals. This was definitely a very interesting tournament, and was great to see one of the “OGs” – original pioneers – of Pennsylvania’s brewing scene make it to the finals.

Thank you everyone who visited, voted, and shared. We appreciate it so much. And again, big time congratulations to our champions of the inaugural Battle of the Breweries (2021) – The Isle of Que Brewing Company. We can’t wait for March 2022 and see if they are able to repeat as champions!

Cheers everyone, please stay safe, and make sure to use Uber when driving, now that bars and everyone is open more fully, and don’t have to sell food, make sure you are taking care of your liver, and more importantly, taking care of yourself and others on the road.

Cheers!
