For the last few years, we’ve tried to rank ACC football schools by their local craft beer options. No matter the process, we’ve always received some complaints in the process — most notably about the narrow focus we pursued with “hyper-local” options.
So once again, we make some adjustments this year to keep things fresh and (most of) the people happy.
For 2018, the definition of local has been broadened for the likes of schools like Clemson, Boston College, Miami and others who have quality breweries nearby but not in their exact city. This time around, we’ll be ranking each program by the top three breweries in their general city area.
