Dilly Bar Dan Bracket

Nebraska

#1 Nebraska Brewing Co. vs. #4 Upstream Brewing Co.

MNW's Hot Taek: I drank the Nebraska IPA as I watched Noted Doormat Northwestern improve to 2-1 in the Big Ten at Memorial Stadium. Good memories.

#2 Empyrean Brewing Co. vs. #3 Zipline Brewing Co.

MNW's Hot Taek: I really, really like Dark Side, but I've not tried any Zipline yet. Jury's out until I do.

Chicago's Big Ten Bracket

Pennsylvania

#1 Troegs Brewing Co. vs. #4 Elk Creek Cafe & Aleworks

#2 Victory Brewing Co. vs. #3 Voodoo Brewery
