Welcome back to CougCenter's craft beer tournament, where two spots are left in the semifinals. We had a spirited competition in our last post, and hopefully we will have another in this one. In our first matchup, Irish Death scored a surprisingly easy victory over Black Butte Porter. Before the voting began, I figured that Black Butte's widespread popularity would carry the day, but the fine folks at Iron Horse Brewery helped spread the word about our little contest, and folks came out in droves to cast their votes. Thus, Irish Death became our first semifinalist.
On the other side of the bracket, things were a bit more spirited and a lot more back-and-forth.
