Eight breweries. One bracket. Your vote decides who takes the crown.
Get ready for the Second Annual Craft Draft Showdown, March 1 – 31. Highlighting the Top 8 local breweries (as selected by you!) in a bracket-style format, each week the top choices will be going head-to-head through the end of the month until one winner emerges.
You can vote daily for your favorite brewery and enter for a chance to win a grand prize.

With their accessible location in downtown’s bustling arts district, wide range of award-winning brews, and approachable atmosphere, it’s clear why this spot won out with visitors and locals alike!
