These 64 Massachusetts breweries are competing in our Boston Brewery Battle. Your votes will decide the winner.
Here at ROCK 92.9, we don’t limit our brackets to the madness of March. Bracketology is a year-round affair. You might remember our King of the Hills bracket, where we fielded a total of 64 mountains, resorts, and ski areas from all over New England. Yes, even Rhode Island was represented. Naturally, the Ocean State’s Yawgoo Valley Ski Area was the 64 seed. Naturally, they lost to top-seeded Killington in Vermont in the first round. If you want to see which resort won it all, take a look here.
For that bracket, we laid out a list of 64 essential New England ski resorts. Because the best voter is an informed voter. In that same spirit, we’d like you to get to know the 64 Massachusetts breweries that made the field for our Boston Brewery Battle. It wasn’t easy narrowing the field down to 64, believe it or not. The Commonwealth is rife with excellent craft beer makers, from the North Shore to the South Shore, from Metro West to the city proper to the Cape and Islands. So if your favorite didn’t make the cut this time around, expect to see them next time.
64 Massachusetts Breweries: Which One Will Win?
In the spirit of fairness, we’ve listed the breweries alphabetically, not in their seeded order. If you want to see the seeding, you’ll have to dive into the actual bracket, which you can do here. Just use this list as a reference point. It’s highly unlikely that you’ll be familiar with all 64, right? After you take a scroll through you will be! See where they’re located, what they have brewing, and then cast your votes in our Boston Brewery Battle. And don’t forget to share the bracket and tag your favorite taprooms!
