WA Beer March Madness 2013 Champ Crowned!
There are a lot of fantastic beers in WA state, but only one can earn the title of Thirsty in Seattle’s WA Beer March Madness Champion of 2013. Congrats to Iron Horse Quilter’s Irish Death for winning this year’s tournament and back to back titles!
Hats off to runner-up Valholl Stouty Stouterson and their fans. That title game was incredibly close with over 1,600 votes cast and a margin of victory of less than 4% of the vote.

WA Beer March Madness 2013 – Coming March 17!
WA Beer March Madness 2013 is quickly approaching, and here’s your chance to make sure your favorite beers are represented. Who will challenge defending champion Iron Horse Quilter’s Irish Death? Can Foggy Noggin Bit O’Beaver and Emerald City Dottie Seattle Lager make another Cinderella run? What new breweries deserve to make an appearance this year … Reuben’s, Kulshan, Bellevue Brewing Company?
Our selection committee is hard at work narrowing the field of fine Washington brews that will receive a bid to the big show. Don’t worry, it’s not too late for you to influence the committee through monetary payments, free beer, or more likely, your beer suggestions in the comments. If you have some favorite WA beers you think deserve the nod, post them in the comments.
On March 17, Selection Sunday, we will be announcing our field of 68 Washington beers and posting the brackets. Each matchup will be posted on www.thirstyinseattle.com, and you will have the opportunity to vote for which beer in each matchup you would like to advance to the next round.
Cheers!
