Brewery Match-ups: Week 5

10/2/2013

HopHeads, you are doing a great job at picking the winners. I wasn't sure about some of those picks from last week but that's why I'm leaving the prognosticating up to you. That, and if someone complains about the picks I can always blame the faceless interwebs!-)

There's no two ways about it, since Portside Distillery's debut, they have been unstoppable. It'll be a tough battle of blue collar beers, who do side with?

Harpoon Brewery debuts this week as they travel to take on Madtree Brewing Co.. Harpoon has a mad list of beers that will be hard for anyone to defeat, but Madtree isn't just anyone.

Reuben's brews is taking their winning streak on the road to Indy where they will challenge Sun King Brewery. This will be a great matchup of young breweries.

Heavy Seas Beer will be hitting the road as they travel to Miami to take on The Abbey Brewing Co. Heavy Seas has an incredible line up but that lineup will all be tested by The Abbey's big Belgian Double and Quad.

Big Rip Brewing Co has had a great run since their debut, but Yazoo brewing, and their giant smoked beer named Sue, won't go down without a fight.

Great Divide has been, well unstoppable. However, Deep Ellum Brewing Co has an incredible lineup of beer that just might hand GD their first loss of the season.

Ballast Point debuts this week as they travel up the coast to take on Pacific Coast Brewing Co. Pacific Coast is looking for redemption this week and Ballast is looking to keep their streak alive. All this will make for a great beer game.

Both of these breweries are coming off losses last week and neither one is doing very well this season. Can Heartland's beer pull them outta the basement this week?

Thirsty Bear Brewing Co. debuts this week as they host Karbach Brewing Co. This should be a good game, Karbach is trying not to make a habit of loosing and Thirsty Bear is looking to start a winning streak of their own.

Week 4 wrap-up

10/2/2013

Another great week of prognosticating, HopHeads!

This week: 5-2

Brewery Match-ups: Week 4

9/25/2013

I think the fact that we wen 4 and 0 last week is my motivation to get an early start on these match-ups. You all did a great job picking the winners last week, now it's time to rinse, lather and REPEAT!

Philadelphia Brewing Company has its work cut out for them in their HopHeadHuddle debut as they take their game on the road to challenge the undefeated Great Divide Brewing Co.

The battle of goose eggs comes to a head in Minnesota as Fulton Brewery hosts East End Brewing Co. The good news for these teams is that one of them will no longer be winless. Go Steelers!

A battle in the AFC North division as Madtree Brewing Company travels to take on Portside Distillery.

Not only is Bluejacket making its HopHeadHuddle debut this week but they are taking their winless team on a cross country trip to take on Pacific Coast Brewing Co.

Week 3 Wrap-up

9/24/2013

I have to say, I thought your predictions were pretty "whack" last week, but it turns out you knew what you were doing. Way to go.

This week: 4-0
Season Record: 4-2

Brewery Match-ups: Week 3

9/19/2013

Well, last week our prognosticating skills fell a little short. I guess that's what happens when you pick the Browns to win and bet against the Broncos.

Now it's time to redeem ourselves!

Season record 0-2

A matchup between two tough demographics. Choose wisely, one of them will rope you and brand you and the other will make you walk the plank. Which would you rather do? Either way, you'll get to drink some great beer.

Try not to take last week's games as an indicator of potential performance for this game. I know it'll be hard but think about the beer!-)

Bird Song makes it's HHH debut appearance this week and they are ready to host a big city team and well equipped with 11 different core beers.

Both of these breweries are coming off great wins last week. Great Divide is proving to be a powerhouse but can they remain undefeated? Will Pacific Coast rise to the occasion? You make the call.

Portiside/Browns & Heartland/Giants win predicted

9/15/2013

Now we just have to wait to see how our prognosticating skills are.

Brewery Match-ups: Week 2

9/13/2013

*Remember* You are voting for a brewery based on the quality of their beer. We don't have enough time in the day to pick spreads or base this on any representative athletic ability. We are only picking the best brewery/beer lineup in each match up and if that predicts the outcome of the game, then so be it!-)

If you have any food pairing suggestions for any of these games let us know about them in the comment section below!

Polls will close at kickoff.

Well, I guess the good thing is that one of these teams will come away from this game with a tick in the win column.

Great Divide is coming off an incredible win last week and will be hard to stop this week as well.
