*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 can't make up your mind, visit the breweries' websites (click the logo pix) so you can make an educated prediction.

Games 2-14 of Week 9 polls will close by Sunday, Nov. 4 at 9 AM (PT)

Week 9 kicks off with Boulevard Brewing Co. heading out west to take on Green Flash Brewing Co. Both breweries are coming away from a disappointing loses last week so look for a great game between these division rivals.

Great Divide Brewing Co is coming off an impressive win last week and will challenging Rivertown Brewing Co. RBC is coming off a bye week and will have to step up their play if they want to get out of the bottom of their division.

Heavy Seas is coming off a much needed bye week and will be traveling to take on division rival Great Lakes Brewing Co. Both teams have stumbled a bit recently but the pressure is on for Heavy Seas to overcome injuries and not loose to the last seed in their division.

The Phoenix Ale Brewery will be traveling from their climate controlled tap room to frigid cellar temps when they take on Hinterland Brewery.

Goose Island Beer Company is leaving behind the cold weather of Chicago but they may have to deal with Sandy's rain as they take on Fat Bottom Brewing Co.

It is the battle of Belgian beers this week as The Abbey Brewing Co. travels to Indianapolis to challenge Brugge Brasserie. I can't wait for this matchup between TABC's 12% Quad and BB's sour! That sounds like a win/win for us!

Will Sandy disrupt this game? Either way one of these breweries has to win this week. Kind beers has been on a loooong skid but 3 Stars Brewing Co. hasn't done much better.

This game is a mirror image to game 7 of this week. Motor City Brewing Works is looking to start a trend this week as they travel to take on Intuition Ale Works. Intuition has been on a looooong skid as well this season but MCBW hasn't done much better.

Flying Bison Brewing Co is getting out of Sandy's way and heading south for some sun and a good beer as they challenge Karbach Brewing Co. this week. This will be a tough game for FBBC as Karbach has momentum and a 9.5% double IPA on hand and in a can!

Tampa Bay Brewing Co has the distinction this week as being the team that has traveled the furthest as they take on Pacific Coast Brewing Co. This bi-coastal matchup features two teams with same record so you have no choice but to pick the winner based solely on the merits of their beer.

Will this be a challenge of the IPA's?Surly Brewing Co. will be bringing Furrious (6.5% 99IBU IPA) and challenging Elysian Brewing Co's Valhalla (7.5% 80IBU IPA)

This match up is especially important to me. I am a huge Steelers fan (since I was 7) and my brother is a huge Giants fan. So I can't possible be unbiased in my matchup description. Go East End Brewing Co!

Deep Ellum Brewing Co has a challenge of epic proportions this week as they take on the undefeated, Red Brick Brewing Co.

Philadelphia Brewing Co. hits the road this week to challenge Crescent City Brewhouse. Only one win separates these two breweries and both of them are sitting in the bottom half of their divisions. A win for either team will help pull them out of the basement.
