And the champion is….
FOX FARM BREWERY
Maybe it was their industrious unfiltered lagers Fohn and Gather or the smoky grit of their cousins – Cabin and Camp. Potentially the big bangers below – the starting frontcourt of Witch Meadow and Copestone, dominating the paint and grabbing boards.
While the slashes and scorers grabbed the headlines, the Farmhouse and Wild ales Freckled Fields, Varonna, and the Avalonia were knock-down from beyond the arc throughout the tournament, keeping the lanes open and defenses honest.
Yet ultimately, what no other brewery could stop, and every opponent eventually succumbed too, was the oceanic depth of their lineup of delicious *motherfucking* IPAs. Acres of acres of quality here, folks.
Burst, Allora, Alta, Graze, Layers, and Wile all played critical roles, but no beer on tap was more pivotal than Viridescence. Impossible not to swoon over this BMOC, the Nelson driven DIPA broke hearts, drilled the big shots, and was the star that every great brewery needs to succeed. Congrats to Fox Farm – the 2020 CT Brewery March Madness Champion!
LOVE THIS COMMUNITY. LOVE THIS STATE. LOVE OUR BEER.
THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING EVERYONE!
Enough with the IPA’s! Its the Mr Smith of beer. No one needs 8-10 Abv and 1 bazillion IBUs. Let some brewer’s flex some man muscle and knock out some browns, porters, real lagers. So tired of the hipster IPA garbage
Fair point. I mean some people need them….they kinda dominate the market and breweries wouldn’t produce them if they weren’t flying off the shelves and making them money.
Love all those styles — Viridescence & Fohn are easily my favorites from Fox Farm, BUT I do think brewing a solid IPA is a pretty good litmus if a brewery is legit or not.
Right or wrong, it’s what the market dictates, and a lot of the breweries that brew the best IPAs also crush the other styles as well.
Nice. No loser all of us beer drinkers are the winners.
