2,600 votes, 11 countries: You can’t stop the BCS!
The Beer Championship Series went bonkers on Monday! We had just about 2,500 votes over five days last week for the first round. Well, beer fans must be serious about who gets to advance to the Sweet 16, because on Monday, we came up just shy of 2,600 votes in one day! Not only that, votes came in from the USA, Ukraine, Sweden, France, Germany, Denmark, Mexico, Australia, Puerto Rico, Switzerland and Thailand. That’s great, but I’ve got just one question: Where’s Canada?! I can’t get one voter from the True North Strong and Free? What’s that all about, eh? World domination aside, let’s get to Monday’s results. Here are your first eight Sweet 16 beers:
Oklahoma Region: COOP DNR – 61 percent vs. Choc Basement Batch – 39 percent
International Region: Modelo Negra- 64 percent vs. Dos Equis 36 percent
USA Region: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale – 54 percent vs. Sam Adams Boston Lager – 46 percent
Europe Region: Guinness- 63 percent vs. Hoegaarden – 37 percent
Oklahoma Region: Marshall Sundown Wheat – 53 percent vs. COOP Native Amber – 47 percent
