Hello, Coug and craft beer fans, and welcome back to CougCenter's craft beer tournament. The Elite Eight is set, and it's time to determine our first two entrants into the Final Four. How did we arrive at our eight competitors? In the first matchup, Deschutes Red Chair NWPA curb-stomped an overmatched Diamond Knot Industrial IPA, and Ballast Point Victory at Sea got out to an early lead and never surrendered it to Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. With that, we move forward.
These two matchups couldn't be different. In the first, we have Busch Light coming off a monumental upset, and now facing Lagunitas Brown Shugga.
