You may be asking yourself, Where are the past winners of March Draftness? Why are they not included? Copper Hop Brewing Company, Baffin Brewing Company, and Brewery 4 Two 4 are all retired. Rumor has it they will be making a special appearance later at some point in the madness.
Who do you have winning it all?
Cheers!
Disclaimer: We at Better on Draft believe that our bracket is more unique than other brewery-related March Madness Brackets. We have reached out to hundreds of breweries throughout Michigan and received each brewery’s approval to participate. These breweries are added to the bracket on a first come first serve basis to create a field of 64. The brewery that wins is to host a keg party thrown by and paid for by us. With this type of buy in, we don’t want to assume that any and all breweries are good to complete the end of the deal.
