    I started with 68 breweries and now I'm down to 16 of my favorite breweries based on what I can get and what I have tried. If YOU had to put these in order from 1 to 16, what would your seedings look like?:

    Sierra Nevada (Chico, CA)
    Flying Dog (Frederick, MD)
    Troegs (Hershey, PA)
    Chimay (Belgium)
    Lagunitas (Petaluma, CA)
    Wychwood - Hobgoblin (England)
    Anchor (San Francisco, CA)
    Nimbus (Tuscon, AZ)
    Yuengling (Pottsville, PA)
    DuClaw (Abingdon, MD)
    Sprecher (Glendale, WI)
    Sweetwater (Atlanta, GA)
    Sam Adams (Boston, MA)
    Goose Island (Chicago, IL)
    Bell's (Kalamazoo, MI)
    Founders (Grand Rapids, MI)

    Well you have breweries from the Great Lakes area and declined to include Great Lakes Brewing Company, yet you included Yuengling.

    Whatever. Won't be stopping back in this thread.

    I'm guessing Yuengling is the Florida Gulf Coast of your brewery sweet 16

    Where is Deschutes?

    Sorry tha I have nothing constructive to say about your bracket. Founders would be pretty close to #1 for me ...

    I figured I would get negative responses. I just enjoy ranking things and I'm glad that some other people do too! Living in TN and GA, I have not yet had the privilege of having RR, FFF, Great Lakes, or Deschutes. I have just been using March Madness as an excuse to drink new beers. And yes...Yuengling is definitely #16.
