    @kraticus41 Just curious if you might have established payouts yet. It looks like 1 less person than last year when we did 5 payouts. It looks like I will end up anywhere from 1st to 4th place so just wondering.
    @johnyb that Scenario Generator is super handy. A lot easier than trying to look at all the brackets with teams still left.
    I like it seeing as how I came in 2nd last year and stand to win some beer this time around. We are gambling and the high risk (picking upsets) is rewarded when correct like in many forms of gambling. Can also lose quickly if incorrect on a lot of those.

    That's for confirming what I already suspected, looks like I'm officially out. Just let me know where to ship my share and if you're making your way to Minneapolis watch the games in person, hit me up and I'll just come to you with your winnings.

    Payouts were posted when the tourney started - top 5 places will pay again this year.

    We're down to two people who can claim 1st: @mynie & @JChurchwell . Best of luck gentlemen!

    Championship game scenarios:

    If Michigan State wins, Mynie wins
    If Virginia wins, Mynie wins
    If Texas Tech wins, JChurchwell wins
    If Auburn beats Michigan State, Mynie wins
    If Auburn beat Texas Tech, JChurchwell wins

    Knowing my luck in these matters, an Auburn vs. Texas Tech final is all but guaranteed. I encourage you all to bet accordingly.

    I wouldn’t feel too bad if I were you. Guaranteed 1st or 2nd I believe no matter the outcome. 11 vs 8 boxes, not a bad second place haul. But I am rooting for that outcome for my sake.

    Unbelievable, it was over. Then uva stopped playing, then it was over again when auburn was up 4. Kyle guy wow, feel bad for Auburn but another great game. Can’t really recall another year with so many tight games.

    @Beardown08 with no dog in the race (other than my squares) I would have to say this is the most I have enjoyed watching the games in a while

    @cp45 hit my porch hard with this NJ box of Kane and Carton and a De Garde to round it out and hit all style preferences. Have never had any of these and looking forward to it! Thanks for the generous box!!!

    Been out of town for a few days so I’m a bit late on thanking @timmy2b for the NY treats that arrived midweek last week. The Plan Bee, Mikkeller, and Big Ditch are all new ticks to me and I can’t wait to try them. My daughter is an afficianado of macaroni and cheese as is also excited as the Mac and cheese is a new tick for her as well!

    Thanks again @timmy2b !

    Many thanks as well to @jamshard2mash for the Leche Boracho from Bottle Logic. I had actually taken a botttkebofbthis to a share a few weeks back and the crowd and myself loved it. Very happy to have a replacement that I plan on hoarding to myself !


    Thank you !

    And finally a huge note of thanks to @Slack for these two crowler beauties. The Monument SOBO was polished off this weekend, and was indeed excellent. I haven’t gotten into the JREAM yet and plan on taking it to a share this Saturday, but saw that it’s part of a series and was hoping you could share which one it is ? Very excited to try it as the reviews look great on them.

    Cheers, and thanks again!

    Received my first box today from, I believe @tiamat8086 based on my shippers. All new beers for me. Only really familiar with Resident Culture, super excited to get into these IPAs this weekend. All look fantastic, Thanks!

    Huge shout of thanks to @browniewithnuts for this arrival. I’m very excited for all 5 of these as virtually every Tired Hands beer I've had in the past was world class stuff, and these are all fresh ticks to me. Speaking of world class, the BA Bomb is a personal favorite and I can't wait to revisit that one with some friends.
