4th Annual March Madness: the Great IPA Challenge
March 19, 2019 - April 8, 2019
Each year, the team at beergarden takes on the team at Tap & Growler to find the best IPA around. With the current always changing in the tides of preferred IPA styles, this year we have modified the structure of this event to allow the styles to compete first with themselves and then against each other. Your vote decides the fate of IPA.
This 3 week event features blind flights of four, comprising the Sweet 16 IPAs with the four corners of the bracket containing 4 of the most hype and delicious styles of IPA: Tropical, Hazy, Brut and West Coast. Cast your vote for the tastiest brews in a blind taste off from March 19- March 31!
This is not a one stop shop! You will need to visit both beergarden and Tap & Growler to vote for all 4 corners of the Sweet 16. We’ll tell you what is included in each category, but you will NOT KNOW which is which.
